So this seems dumb…and it is…but it’s dumb with a purpose. I can almost guarantee you the exact line of reasoning that gets NASA engineers to 100.

Ok, first of all assume the worst and assume she needs the max amount of tampons possible for all days. Now lets count it up.

7 days? Better be safe and make it 10.

3 tampons a day at worst? Better be safe and make it 5.

So that gives us 50 tampons. Ok. Double it.

And that’s how you get 100.

It’s ridiculous, but NASA has a culture of “overengineer absolutely everything to do with human safety, and then design around it” which is actually pretty cool.

Listen, I know this gets made fun of so much, but like I am a woman who has periods and I have absolutely no idea how many tampons a woman requires in a week. I use primarily pads. But these men, at the least, ASKED her instead of making unfounded assumptions.

Also have you ever packed for a long trip and thought “I’m only going for seven days but I need to pack 15 pairs of underwear….just in case”. Imagine that but you’re going to SPACE

I also suspect that when they came up with the final number and the director at the time wondered if that was overdoing it, he was asked the following question:

"Sir, do you want to be remembered as the guy who sent too many tampons to the ISS... Or too few?"

At which point the decision was greenlit.

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

This is perverse and obscene.

Of course they denied all those claims. It made them more money, and it wasn’t illegal. Corporations are amoral by nature, and healthcare is not an exception.

this was worth seeing in theaters! is it a perfect movie? no. but despite of some script issues, this was a fun movie with great action and strong performances. There’s much more good than bad, and if you get the chance, go see this in theaters.

she hates that man

[byjove]

I have little to no sympathy for the wives of major GOP figures but I think it’s hilarious how openly and brazenly they hate their husbands and they barely bother to pretend to care. The party of family values.

[hempseeeeds]

is that the same woman whose sister died in a very embarassing Tesla-Malfunction Accident?

[vaspider]

Yeah

[byjove]

it’s so funny that cops will say they ‘do not have enough resources to investigate this case’ and then pull you over in a brand new squad car. you’re getting 40% of the municipal budget and complaining about being underfunded and blaming a lack of training when you accidentally shoot your coworker. you’re decked out head to toe in new state of the art riot gear but you can’t be arsed to use any of your budget on solving crime or making your colleagues better at not killing people.

[byjove]

I think police departments have a large scale embezzlement problem. we’ve had a couple of notable cases of law enforcement engaging in fraud but I’m pretty sure this is a bigger issue. because who is going to investigate them? the cops?

You are describing a hero BBC, he just wasn't a cartoon saint:

"[Robin Hood] wasn't noble at all, but a yeoman, a rung above a peasant...and while he was perfectly nice to the poor, helping them was not his main purpose. His enemies were the corrupt clergy and the land-owning nobles who took advantage of their underlings."

'He was not a hero': How the dark, violent medieval origins of Robin Hood were erased

Robin Hood began as an oral tradition in the 12th Century before morphing into a heroic, family-friendly stereotype – here's how new takes a

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ trust me, if white people know you aren't safe to be racist around, we'll notice! Your ACTIONS will speak for you!

Just last week alone- and y'all saw the ones I shared- I had to experience:

Someone admitting they don't care for nigg*rs

"I'd rather be a white than being a watermelon felon"

the defense of the peculiar institution of u.s. slavery

that asking people not to be racist while drawing your characters was "sticking to your comfort zone"

being "forgiven" for thinking I could dare "set rules" for how to better design Black characters by someone with ravenclaw in their bio calling for race war

and you mean to tell me I have to keep my head up and carry on through a thousand cuts just to be in the same place y'all are, with a limited experience due to safety...

But being told when you're being racist on your public platform, where you were in fact being racist in front of everyone, is akin to social murder. Okay. Well.

Can we call what Black users go through on here social torture then, because if we're gonna use strong words...
