SN and CO combined?

[Enyan]

Stupid question, but how feasible would it be to maybe do a combination of SN and CO?

Like, preparing everything, locking yourself into a small airtight bathroom, bringing the coals in with you and then ingesting SN? Obviously putting the coals somewhere you can't knock them over in case you have a seizure.

Or do they somehow cancel each other out in a way?

Why? This feels like literal overkill.

I mean, yeah, you're right, but I just wouldn't want to wake up after a failed SN attempt or something.

I mean, lots of methods fail even if you do everything "right." I've failed a couple of times myself.

I don't know that much about SN, but it just seems like if you had the means to attempt with CO, you'd try that first and maybe that works and you're done. Because if that doesn't work and the SN doesn't work, then doing both just doubles your chance of waking up worse off than when you started.

That is actually a really good argument. I never considered both methods failing, that would be devastating to wake up from.

Plus, like in the scientific method and troubleshooting... if you try multiple things at once and things go sideways, you're not going to be sure why anything went the way it did. If you try one thing and that fails, you at least have a shot of figuring out why it failed OR you can cross that option off your list and move onto the next idea.

And, frankly... it's hard to pick a method and try it... and it's difficult when you fail and are still here... so frustration and effort trying multiple things just never pops into my head as a way to go about it. Of course, I don't have the perfect answer because I'm still here.
