1 of the 3 parachutes fail to deploy properly.
BO talking head said it's designed to account for that but it looked like a hard landing to me, like really hard.

I'm pretty lucky to have a good appliance guy in town.

Super nice and helpful. Will never upsell anything. Does the service calls.

Keith costs a few extra dollars, not many, and is worth it.

Very few things on a stove that can't be DIY fixed fairly easily. As far as the other appliances newer dishwashers are pushing it and microwave ovens are pretty much disposable nowadays with parts often costing as much or more than buying a new one. With refrigerators it depends on the problem with some of the newer one competing with cars in being repair unfriendly.

The Iranians are missing their president
Site has not been reached yet and they're not even sure crash is the right word yet as the article does says some communications has been established with others on the flight so could be nothing

Would a scrub count as a cock block?

Further down
Turn the sound on for this one. Funny and not funny at the same time.

This is so much fun to watch with the sound off. The gestures are classic. 

With the sound on, you'll just get a mild headache... #TheNitwitPontificates

Accidentally turned the sound on for a few seconds and mild is not how I would describe the headache  :facepalm:

Measurement of how obnoxious someone is
American units: 1 *expletive deleted*che. Easy to remember and also funny to say.
Metric units: 3.27 Simon Cowells. Just try doing that conversion in your head. You can't. It's impossible.

At least 5 Tesla Supercharger locations targeted in Houston in past week, but motive remains unclear
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLjHdlsS7ks

Thieves cut charging cables at Tesla charging stations for copper. 
I saw a video from California late yesterday.  A search this morning came up with this one from Houston and one from San Francisco area. 

They'll probably blame white male domestic terrorists without a college education. There's always a chance of that being correct. There's more of a chance that it's environazis that hate Elon more than they love the Erf.

Saw something a year or so ago about people coming out and finding their EVs unplugged from the charger. Blamed Karens going around doing it because for some reason it offends them for an unattended car to be left plugged in.
