I love my claw hammer. It works for anything I want to build, and I never need other tools. People who use ball-peen hammers or malletts obviously don't know how to use hammers properly. Anybody who uses screwdrivers or wrenches is obviously an idiot, who doesn't really understand how to build things.

Clarkson, is that you?

I'm using Google [Cute cat GIF!!!] Chrome right now and I've [~~~ BUY XBOX ONE TODAY! ~~~] never had problems with [~~~You won't believe which celebrities use teeth whitener! ~~~] any of the 124 extensions I installed.

Their search is total shit, and more an insult than a search, even compared to e-Bay.
They are known to keep making money with fraudulent and fake products.
They manipulate even displayed prices depending on your behavior and the mood of the day.

Nobody with half a brain buys there.
Having enough morons around who fall for their trap, is their entire crime^Wbusiness model.

So this is, if anything, an good thing. Since even the dumbest most lazy person has a certain threshold of pain. And you do not want to pass that. Because the dumber they are, the louder and faster that avalanche will be.

So keep going, Amazon! Come on. One more wafer thin mint. You can do it.

That's exactly what it is, and how it's objectively measured (by asking people to self-report it).

Really.

There's always a risk that you're going to blow up if you climb in a rocket. If you don't want to accept that risk, don't climb in there.

Also, there has only been one case where a SpaceX rocket exploded during propellant loading, and timing analysis shows that a manned capsule would have been able to activate the emergency abort sequence, and escape the fireball.

Yes, there are risks, very big ones. It is the job of NASA and Space-X to manage those risks properly. That means understand them and mitigate them to the extent practical.

That's not the kind of mill they were talking about. It's one of these.

Open the source, Luke. Oh. Wait. What? It always has been? Close the source! That's what it needs to do. Close it up, and stop being like Katy Perry here

Keep. It. Closed. Or this is what you get.

Watch this and see if you still think that way

MY GAWD!

There's more than one way to spin them, though.

Look at this GIF. The explosion appears to originate at the upper stage filling interface.

This is SpaceX responsibility too. But maybe not as bad long term as another type of failure.

"For example, the line in the zero, the changes to the i and a -- all are horrible."

Could yo explain.why the new 'i' is horrible but not the original 'l' (ell)? And I don't quite see any difference in 'a' in these two comparisons.

Stop using GIF. GIF sucks. There are better options.

On that note, why didn't browsers ever decide to support MNG or M-JPEG?

The fault that caused this failure was the control fins running out of pressurized hydraulic fluid. When this happened, they were driven fully to one side, pushing the rocket over. The engine tried it's best to counter that, but it didn't have a hope.

A fellow fan tried something similar in the Kerbal Space Simulator. I imagine the real flight was very much like this:

Looking at the picture, it seems like there are two sides with their ships lined up shooting at each other. Is there any use of strategy in this battle, or is it all about who has the biggest army?
