Guys, crossing a line, no? Anonymity should not be abused.

Does the fast food industry support a decriminalization of marijuana?

Does the fast food industry support a decriminalization of marijuana?

It should, along with the baking foil and lava lamp industries. But they don't due to the hysteria about marijuana. A great case of this is Kelloggs withdrawing its sponsorship of Michael Phelps over his marijuana use, when marketing Kelloggs as the cereal for stoners would undoubtedly have been a fantastic marketing ploy.

Hypoxia? Lack of oxygen to the brain can cause dizziness, light-headedness, lapses in concentration, euphoria, etc.. usually happens in low-oxygen environments - such as a submarine or aeroplane - but hyperventilation can do it.

I got a feeling like my brain's missing, and have difficulties in thinking. I think I've had this feeling before, and it was then associated with some sort of hyperventilation (like right after intensive sprint). Is there a name or explanation to this feeling? Can there be other causes to it?

I can't help but think that hyperventilation is unlikely to cause hypoxia.
What you might be describing is hypocapnia. It depends if the hyperventilation came first, or the feeling.

Are there any death metal singers that you actually enjoy hearing?

Isn't hypocapnia a form of waking apnia? i'm only really familiar with sleep apnia.

What does it feel like to be 40 years old?

You all of a sudden start desiring sportscars and younger women, despite leading a happy family life just the day before.

Yes, Mikael Åkerfeldt, for a start.

One of my friends is convinced that he's going bald, but I think it's a widow's peak. How do I differentiate between male pattern baldness and a widow's peak? Also its common to lose hair in the shower isn't it? Is that necessarily indicative of impending baldness?
Does wearing a hat every day or shampooing every day contribute to baldness?

How old is your friend? I have always had thick hair with a natural widow's peak, but my hairline has receded slightly, and right at the crown the hair seems a shade thinner, since I reached my 40s. I only notice when I get a very short haircut, like almost basic-training short.

No, wearing a hat or shampooing does not contribute to hair loss; wives' tales. If your friend is that concerned there are plenty of places that will take his money, and some treatments actually work.

Less well known is that lots of women lose their hair as well.

It was so long ago I don't remember!

What does it feel like to be 40 years old?

My knees hurt a lot, and my bones creak and pop when I get up. Oh, and I have this lower back pain from time to time. My hair is thinning and receding. Thanks for asking

He's 19 and for some reason he's really paranoid that he's going to go bald. I told him not to worry about its.

How do you arrest an armless person?

How do you arrest an armless person?

Good one!

Then again, what crimes can an armless person commit?

 

[Flying Pig]

How do you arrest an armless person?

'_______, I am arresting you for _______. You don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something upon which you later rely on in court. Anything that you do say will be taken down and may be used as evidence against you. Do you understand?'

I miss the old days

Apnoea is when you do not breathe. This causes high CO2 levels (respiratory acidosis/hypercapnia) and hypoxia.

Hypocapnia has a number of unpleasant effects, including light-headedness, and occurs after hyperventilation. It is, obviously, also called respiratory alkalosis.

Therefore what he had depends very much on what he meant by 'associated with hyperventilation'.

Sleep apnoea is when your throat collapses because you're too fat and you become hypoxaemic. It is associated with depression, diabetes, and all the other things that go with obesity, because it exacerbates the problems that are already present. It especially causes hypertension.

This should be a question at police academies. I guarantee most cops will have their brains explode as they try to figure out what to with their handcuffs.

On a serious note, exactly the same as anyone else, just without handcuffs.

Leg cuffs?

You know a cop smart enough to figure that out?
