Literally.

Homemade nitrogen asphyxiation device is my retirement plan.

    Isn't that the method used in all those state death penalty executions that kept making the news several years back for not going as smoothly as they claimed it would? You know, the method they switched to when the only manufacturer of the one of the drugs needed for the normal method started refusing to sell it to the USA?

    Funny how there's been no news about them of late, considering the current political environment... 🙄

    I don't believe so, it's the method I've heard of that the "suicide pods" use in other countries unless that's the same thing. Supposedly your body starts freaking out when there's a buildup of CO2, so if I can displace that with nitrogen and still vent out the CO2 then it should work fine.

    Yeah, I'm aware (for similar reasons). The description I read in one article at the time sure made it sound very similar, though. Any idea what they're doing if not that?

    No idea what they'd be using, but since it was for executions in the US I wouldn't for one second doubt it was a shitty quality device from a private company that was just taking in tax dollars and to hell with the outcome for the person in it. :/

    That's exactly what happened. The supplier cut corners and the device didn't flush the CO2 away resulting in an agonizing death suffocating on CO2. They also didn't supply enough nitrogen and just used whatever tank they could procure from a welding supply store.

    A nice hike into the remote backcountry culminating in watching a sunset from somewhere scenic while enjoying some whiskey and a last PBR, then a shot of the ol’ .44 is my plan. Saves someone the trouble of cleaning up the mess, the hassle of having to hike up there to spread my ashes, and the coyotes get a free meal. It’s a win for everyone.

    I have saved a bunch of pills, like bottles and bottles, because I came off a medication but still let it be renewed every time. I'm ready for whenever I think it's time.
