Gibberings CLXIV - I don't Have a Clue if These Numerals are Right I'm Still Drunk

From what I recall it's still not recommended to take gas directly from the dispenser as it is still at very low temperature and can be damaging.

so it's common practice in the uk to expel the gas into the dispenser and, from there, into a balloon?

in my experience, the temperature of the gas when it's been expelled into a balloon from a cracker and the temperature of the gas when it's been expelled into a dispenser are pretty much the same so they're broadly equivalent (from a harm-reduction point of view). the important thing being that the immense pressure in the nitrous bulb has been relieved (and the temperature raised).

if I'm not mistaken, Evie has norrowed her location a bit more than that, and I can think of one BLer who will have that all Googled up by now, not that I think he'd do anything with that info, but, y'know...

just happened to check google map for my house and spotted my tent in my back garden, only had the tent in my back garden for one day last year.

It is indeed - even amongst EADD folk that I met (sure that's not universal but from (very limited) experience - and I'm pretty sure that is general advice for least harmful way of using nitrous. The temperature of gas in a balloon may well be similar to how it is straight from the charger or dispenser but if you leave it a minute it warms which has less potential for causing lung damage. At least that is my understanding of it. There's not huge amounts of HR advice out there for nitrous so I'm mostly basing this on governmental leaflets I've read on the subject (and we all know how "accurate" they can be 8)) but seems a pretty reasonably precaution to take to me for the sake of an extra minute's wait.

I would agree that taking it direct from the bulb is far more dangerous (people do apparently although always wondered quite how they managed it ). I would also agree plenty peeps do take it direct from dispenser but was just pointing out that is not what I've seen recommended as best practice for nitrous use. As also mentioned, it's not something I've done very often (opportunity lacking not fondness for nitrous - the stuff is pricey) but balloons is how I've always seen it used for the most part.

Eh???? TES. There are many DWs n I'm not talking Doctor Who hahaha I love doctor who especially David Tenant. And when RTDavies was writing the scripts wow.

I'm fairly sure if somebody were to gather all the info I've given out of my location over the years they could find me pretty easily too. It's easily done to let it out in dribs and drabs (plus I named it outright at least once) so I suspect it's not just an Evey issue so much as an interwebz issue. Many of us do it and I suppose hope that nobody is enough of a dick to make use of it. That may well be entirely unrealistic obviously

It seems unlikely to me that privacy can realistically be maintained indefinitely as interweb stuffs becomes ever more all-encompassing. I'm not overly happy about it but short of constant and obsessive paranoia I can't really see any way around it. I am prone to the latter though so that might well just be me 8)

If a potential axe murderer can work out where 'DW' happens to be in Wales they probably deserve the job frankly. That's some skilled detective work. As personal info goes 'DW' is pretty tame I'd suggest.

Hahaha too right, Shamz. I thought I was paranoid on here. Not meaning to sound like an ignoramus but what's all this about baloons n gas? I'm confused. Only baloons I know of are the ones you blow up for kids, n hot air balloons lol.

Hi everyone! Anyone willing to give me a bit of an update in a nut shell? Like, where's Knock, Mailmonkey and why aren't they mods anymore?

Shambles - I remember you really not wanting to mod here! Glad you are though

 

[alasdairm]

The temperature of gas in a balloon may well be similar to how it is straight from the charger or dispenser but if you leave it a minute it warms which has less potential for causing lung damage.

there's no reason that 'secondary vessel' can't be a dispenser instead of a balloon - the crucial thing being that the pressure in the nitrous bulb has been relieved (and the temperature raised).

we can definitely agree that any attempt to take the gas directly from the pressurised bulb can be potentially harmful in a number of ways.

GoS - sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but sadly knock died (shortly after being de-modded here as it happens)
MM just left the building (before that)

WHAT THE FUCK??? What happened?

 

[Eveleivibe]

Knocks dead n we all miss him very much. I don't know mailmonkey sorry. Knock will always be remembered as a mod as far as I'm concerned. I see you're an old member. Good to meet you - I'm Evey, by the way.

Evey xxxx

 

[gayorstraight]

What about Pagey, is she still about?

 

[ColtDan]

Isn't there some anount of conservation/recirculation dealie with the balloon? - I thought I saw people huffing then expelling the nitrous back into the balloon (likesay, I'm not expeienced in the stuff)

Yeah somtimes i keep huffing the balloon until im on the verge of conking out, everybody ive done nos with usually dose, not particularly wise lol, quite a feeling though. havent done nos for ages, wouldnt mind some again, love it ontop of booze + whatever

 

[Eveleivibe]

Knock took two hours going through posts to help me sort a dispute once n talked to in PM over it n has helped so many here. That 's who we've lost as well as his sense of humour n intellect.
There is a RIP thread in the shrine if you want to go see it.

Sorry that you found out this way.

Evey xxxx

 

[swampdragon]

Sorry about the bad news, yeah. Pagey's in Australia but not around here that much at the moment.. and as said, MM is fine just not around here.

 

[Eveleivibe]

What about Pagey, is she still about?

She's in Australia, studying, I think.

I have mrscientist, her fiancee on fb and I saw a few pictures of those two on my news feed, looks like their happy in Australia ( I believe? could be wrong)

 

[Shambles]

Ah. Didn't occur to me that you've been gone longer than Knock sadly has, GoS. Apologies for not mentioning in PM - it was a tremendous shock to all of us and he is greatly missed

This does make perfect sense actually. Leave it in any container and it will warm. Maybe Brits are unusually concerned with the possibility of "cooties"? Balloons are the most common way of using it I've come across but what you say does make sense.

in Australia studying, boyfriend is over there at the mo, enjoying all the beautiful-ness and getting mashed

Hi everyone!

Hi GoS! Where have you been? Sorry if it's an obvious question, I was away for a few months myself, came back a week or two ago
