I was all excited that link was going to show a connection between America and ancient Africa. Instead I for a story about Roman Africans living in Roman Britain, a far less interesting fact. I am disappoint.

Univision is Congress?

That’s disappointing. I hope it isn’t a sign of things to come. That email guy doesn’t have a fucking leg to stand on and capitulating to Chuck Johnson is shitty. I hope the new owners don’t take your teeth away. The Gawker blogs ability to go after sacred cows and call out bullshit is part of why we keep coming here.

I do not want to wake up one morning to find out a whole plane went down because of an exploding phone battery.

11.4% of people are fucking retarded.

While I 100% agree, this is a gossip site.

Man.

I was going to go for the “classified” jibe from Top Gun, but I don’t know how thin your skin is or how loud you’d cry about it.

The business I work for is a legitimate target for strategic ICBM nuclear strikes, to say nothing about espionage. I can see how there would be people interested in pulling any sort of data out of a rental car they learned was paid by one of our company credit cards.

You’re a good man, Jake. Good man.

Step 1: Connect to the car in question.

So you are saying we should treat a fire infueling tests differently than a fire in capsule tests? Why?

Look, Sophie, I get why you are writing this angle, I really, really do, and I have some sympathy in a macro sense where I would say “Facebook is going to tailor this internet experience to benefit them” but everything is kind of relative, yeah?

Also too inconsistent and unreliable:

It’s not a simple matter of just using the other launchpad, however. Not only are there scheduling issues..

Outside of lost payloads and some setbacks individual failures like these are little cause for concern. Questions get raised when there have been a string of failures. Even then, it’s not necessarily enough to sink a company because the tech is still being refined and a lot of factors are in play.

Occasionally the customer insists on not being loaded until the last second. In those situations they stack the first and second stages and roll them out for a test, then roll the assembling back to the hangar to add the payload. That’s extra work so it isn’t done if the customer doesn’t insist.

Because not once did NASA ever have an issue with any of their space craft, or rockets, that caused the total destruction of said rocket, or its cargo right? I mean nothing ever went wrong during the Apollo program or the Space Shuttle program right?
