The Many Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide By Dr. David G. Williams
Man, now I am kind of curious to get some food grade H2O2 and see how it makes me feel. Although this site also has an article about chemtrails…
anjalouise: Oregano Oil (via Huffmeister22) This isn’t the kind we have, but I just took my first ever dose of oregano oil. to help with my cold. It is good for things like this: treatment of colds, influenza, mild fevers, fungal infections, indigestion, stomach upsets, enteric parasites (not sure what this is) and painful menstruation (from the wikipedia page). Who knew oregano could do so many things! I haven’t gotten anja’s cold yet, but I’m taking this to see if it will help me avoid getting sick.

My stepdad just got laid off from Corning Glass. Guess their CEO needed to keep making $20 million per year, so they couldn’t keep hard working, intelligent employees. GOOD STRATEGY, GUYS.

I hope I get to keep my job through this depression.

soupsoup: Dalas, I appreciate what you guys do and by far you have the best user interface of any video community on the web, but I am constantly frustrated by how long it takes to get my videos up on the site. I’m not technical enough to know why it takes so long, but neither are most people who simply like to shoot videos and want to upload them. All they know is “oh crap, its going to take an hour to upload this 5 minute video?” Are we simply not at the point technologically to be able to upload a video, at worst, in twice as long as the length of the footage is? It’s true that right now our user base is growing extremely fast, which puts a strain on the transcoding machines. We can’t just “turn on” more machines, we have to buy more licenses for the transcoding software. We’re working to address that and developing a new system that will allow us to scale more efficiently. We’re running this as a fiscally responsible business, so we’re not going to just shell out thousands of dollars on more transcoding licenses if we have no way to pay for it. That’s why we’re developing a system that relies more on open-source software. However, if the argument here is about professional-level services, what professional wouldn’t pay $59.95 to be able to skip to the head of the transcoding queue? That’s what Vimeo Plus offers. Professionals spend tens of thousands of dollars on equipment, and paying $5/month for Vimeo services seems reasonable.

soupsoup: molls: YOU’RE FIRED. Vimeo is not what I would call “Professional” ready. It’s still in the hobbyist domain. Usually when this happens, it’s because of the video codec that was uploaded. This is no where near a Vimeo-only issue. It has more to do with the ridiculous number of codecs that are put out there. Vimeo isn’t perfect, but no software is, and no video-sharing site is going to flawlessly convert every video that is uploaded to it. Michael Bay is not a hobbyist! *Edit: Also, why would you post something to the Internet and not contact us about how to fix the problem? That’s not a good way to get something working. There’s not even a link here for me to check it out.

“ Think of an experience from your childhood. Something you remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there. After all, you really were there at the time, weren’t you? How else would you remember it? But here’s the bombshell: you weren’t there. Not a single atom that is in your body today was there when that even took place… Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made.

Steve Grand (via pile)

I always thought about this, and thought that only my brain cells were the same throughout my life, but Pile pointed out that this statement is true, the atoms are never the same, which makes me like this concept even more.

TriMet: WES Commuter Rail Service
In “good news,” a new communter rail service opened here.

Oregon’s going to have to cut school budgets by $279 million and school will probably end early this year. They have to cut an additional $720 million in other state services, including cutting foster care payments in half.

Shitty recession.
