“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.”

One of the points was about how Covid-19 conspiracy theories were just rehashed talking points of old. I won’t spoil the rest

This is a possibility that has been talked about at length for a while now.

It’s possible, however an attack like this would be considered a nuclear attack, which would bring NATO into this war. Consequently, if Russian allies like Belarus blow up the plant instead this would also trigger a response from NATO.

Obviously we should be concerned, but I’m not sure how likely an attack like this would actually happen.
