NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER

One time as a teenager we were playing with helium and breathing it to talk funny.

I must have over done it. I got really sick and dizzy. Couldn't walk or do anything for a while after.

Probably lucky I didn't kill myself.
LOL

I did the same but didn't get the effect you had. I just took a quick puff from the balloon and did an angry yell like Donald D. Also read a sofa ad. We laughed like the 12 year olds that we were.

I'm guessing you always were the guy who took it to the extreme. Maybe you took a really, really deep breath and made it last as long as you could. More than once?

It's called anoxia when you do it right. LOL.

I always loved the idea that it is currently only possible to penetrate extreme depths in the sea by bringing the sun with us. Helium is named for the sun and required at depths greater than 65m where any gas that has 21% oxygen (atmospheric air) would make for a ppo2 above 1.6 which puts a person at extreme risk of convulsions. So we have to use hypoxic trimix in order to reduce the amount of oxygen without increasing nitrogen which increases the chances of bubbles forming in the blood (the bends) and that third gas is helium.

It's the most abundant element in the universe but on earth it is a finite resource since it rises and continues to rise until it escapes the atmosphere as soon as it is released. Maybe I'm a nerd but I find that poetic.

Yes. I took things to the extreme when I was young.

It was several breathes.
Yep, hypoxia.
I'm lucky I guess.

It was stupid looking back on it.

I knew it was used in diving.

Wild how something is needed for one situation but can kill you in another.

Lolololol, more with cherry picking of information.

"Peter Smith wrote two blog posts dated the day before he was found dead. One challenged U.S. intelligence agency findings that Russia interfered with the 2016 election. Another post predicted: “As attention turns to international affairs, as it will shortly, the Russian interference story will die of its own weight.”
OK, comrade.

Не грязная игра вообще

Oh yeah, that's the ticket. Get drunk at work, go to the roof of a multistory building with no railings, have a heart attack and fall. Makes perfect sense to me. Body was sent out of the US before an autopsy could be done.

Happens every day in my neighborhood. nothing to see here, move along.
Well, he's Russian..all their deaths are by: fall, poison, suicide (see OP) or not knowing they have brakes on their cars..

It's never their unhealthy lifestyle.

Yeah normal people in Russia die at railroad crossings, or when planes fall out of the sky and crush them or when they improvise fireworks out of old munitions.
