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.

Good enough for Boeing and BO, it seems.

Parachutes seem pretty damn hard.  F9 block 5 has a lower raw anomaly count on landings than the BO capsule or the Boeing capsule, despite flying 100x more than either and having no redundancy.  Starting to appear that propulsive landing may be more reliable than chutes.

Guess they're okay as they're out and talking but that landing did look hard.

State media is reporting the helicopter had to make a  "hard landing" but reportedly they still have yet to locate the helicopter

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:
