  • Are we just going to ignore all the jobs that were lost when the economy crashed? Not just in the U.S. either.

    All because there was an inordinate amount of really bad housing loans that banks KNEW were bad, and just continued to give the loans out.

    If you’d like to learn more about this, Inside Job is a great documentary about this.



  • For anyone interested in what they used:

    “Individuals assigned to the olfactory enrichment group were provided with an odorant diffuser (Diffuser World) and 7 essential oil odorants (rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender; from The Essential Oil Company, Portland, OR) in identical glass vials that each fit into the diffuser. They were asked to turn on the diffuser when they went to bed, and the odorant was released into the air during the night for 2 h when they first went to sleep. They rotated through the different odorants each night.”
















  • Glad it was unmanned. There’s enough senseless death in the world.

    If you take a look at the lunar missions for space race, you’ll see many of them happened within a year of each other. It’s a wonder there weren’t more failures!

    Compare that to today, where it took almost 20 years of planning for the Hubble telescope to come into fruition.

    You shouldn’t rush things in space. This is just the latest reminder.
