Nitrogen has recognized narcotic potential at hyperbaric pressures. No narcotic effect of helium has been demonstrated at any pressure. We evaluated the effect of nitrogen in air at one atmosphere on human performance by comparing it with helium-oxygen using a four-alternative divided-attention task that requires rapid response to auditory and visual signal changes. There was a 9.3 per cent decrease in response time when subjects breathed helium-oxygen, a signigicant change (P less than 0.001). This change could not be ascribed to practice since the order of presentation of gases did not have a significant effect. It concluded that the nitrogen in ambient air slightly but measurable impairs human performance compared with a non-anesthetic gas such as helium.

what the heck, we're all buzzed on nitrogen all the time??

who is going to be the first person to live in a helium-oxygen tank to boost their mental performance

“On the 6th Day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwashi.

The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.

In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back.

When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds.

By nature, it likes to stalk birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows it to disappear at night. I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.”

Daiba Nana from Revue Starlight would turn into a witch in Puella Magi Madoka Magica!

Cause of Witchification: she literally played a character called "The Goddess of Despair" in a school play i dont know what else to say (that isnt a massive spoiler). girl has issues.

Anonymous asked:

"how is that not prison?" would you have used as force free labour inside that institution, would you have been used for slave labour? institution are inherently carceral but it does not sound like you were at risk of become a slave and that is a difference for better or worse

They do, infact, force disabled people to use sheltered workshops for Legal Slavery Pay.

So um. Yeah, I probably would have been!

I didn't wanna fold pamphlets for 3.25 an hour. Or be forced in a home.

And yeah! My abuse, when described, domestic slavery abuse is a light way to put it.

Fuck off. You have no clue what I've survived to get here. None. You ever run a dying farm single handed at 8? The hard manual labor that requires? I had to forage for my food to survive.
