They're not covering. First of all, they're still sending you live feeds of everything, so that's a pretty poor strategy if you're trying to cover up something. They're gathering all computer data, witness statements and launch data to figure out why it exploded.
momsspaghettiwhy would they try to cover the data up?

Yeah they're still broadcasting. I just thought the phrasing was funny. Still, pretty fuckin wild the thing burst into flames
Every year, somebody climbs this building on campus and puts a pumpkin in the steeple. Such a great tradition. The school can't get it down, so it stays up there until it falls off. Somebody got it up there this weekend. You can kind of see it here.

Yeah it sucks. And there's like on fire shit all over the beach and everywhere else too.
As soon as it started going you could tell. Cause it just stalled out, went sideways a bit then exploded. And like, there never seems to be any other way these go wrong. It either works perfectly or explodes.

Texting with my little brother right now and realizing he's everything I could've been if I didn't start getting into drugs so early. Like he's a freshman this year and he's the head of the Latin club and on the debate team, in all advanced classes, and the lead guitar player of a pretty sweet band and he fucking shreds. Man if I could do it all over again I would.
Pretty sure my brothers business just got ripped off for over $4,000 worth of shit we bought.
(So here's the story) We had a supplier who we have dealt with before(Only problems we had before were the colors on the order were mixed up a bit). We ordered a few small orders from them just to check and see how good they were and everything. So we made a big order all they sent us an old computer monitor(We bought eCig stuff) and a couple of packs of random coils we didn't even order from them. It was done through paypal, and the payment for the product was made over 45 days ago and paypal doesn't do any about transactions over 45 days(in their user agreement says a dispute must be filed within 45 days of purchase).
Has anyone had any problems with paypal on products they have received over 45 days after purchase that was wrong?
I feel bad for them. After a delay they were probably so excited to launch it.
I wonder how big of a debris radius that will have left? And the damage to the facility, that will be one big ass mess to clean up and fix. I also wonder what happens if the ISS doesn't get the supplies they need immediately? I'd imagine they have provisions for this kind of thing though.
Oh you want to read my long and boring essay that I wrote for school about how to drive a stick shift? Okay here it is! Haha
How to drive a stick shift
As I first open the door and sit down in a car with manual transmission, there are some things that are different than in a regular car. First of all, there are three pedals on the floor instead of two. Second, the shifter moves in all different directions—instead of just up and down like it does in an automatic. I have only just gotten in the car and I already know that it will be radically different to drive than most cars. Driving a stick shift is engaging, fun, and keeps me connected to my car, while driving a car with automatic transmission is boring, robotic, and disconnects me from the functions of the car.
To start the car, most people would simply try turning the key. They would be disappointed that the engine would not turn over. To start a car with a manual transmission, I must push down the clutch-the pedal farthest to the left-while turning the key. But before I start the car it is important to put the transmission into neutral. I know that it is in neutral because I am able to move the shifter to the left and right freely. The purpose of putting it in neutral is so that nothing happens when you let out the clutch. If I were to leave it in first when I start the car, I may forget that it is in first. Letting out the clutch when you do not know it is in first will stall the engine. Now the engine is running and I am ready to start driving.
To get the car in gear I must first push in the clutch. After the clutch is being held down I can put it in first gear. To find first gear, I grab the shifter and move it all the way to the left and all the way up. Feeling the shifter sit comfortably in place, I know I am ready to go. Now comes the hardest part, letting the clutch out and getting the car moving. To do this step properly, I let out the clutch slowly and push on the gas slowly at the same time. Once I feel the car start to move it is important to not let go of the clutch, assuming that we are done with that step. If I do that, it will be a clunky ride. I must continue to let out the clutch slowly until it is completely in gear.
The next step is to shift it into second, because I cannot stay in first gear forever. After the engine revs to about 2500 RPM (revolutions per minute) I push in the clutch. Second gear is directly below first, so I pull the shifter straight down. Once I successfully shift into second gear, I let out the clutch slowly. It is not as important to give it gas when going into second, but to make the ride as smooth as possible I slowly push on the gas as I let the clutch out.
Going into third, fourth, and fifth will be the same as second, the only thing that I need to worry about is where the gears are placed. As I know, first gear is all the way to the left and all the way up, and second gear is directly below first. To get to third gear from being in second I move the shifter up into neutral, a little to the right, and up again. Third sounds like it is confusing to find, but as I am shifting into third it is more of just a simple upward motion. It kind of guides you up into third. Fourth gear is straight down, directly below third. Predictably, moving to fifth gear from fourth requires the shifter to be moved up to neutral, all the way to the right, and up again to lock it into place. I may not need to use it, but it is still important to know that reverse gear is all the way to the right, and down. It would be catastrophic for my transmission if I were to shift into reverse while moving forward.
Now I will deal with the issue of coming to a stop. Whether the reason being a stop sign, stoplight, or something else. There are two ways to approach a situation like this. One, I push in the clutch, shift into neutral, and let the car coast while I brake as needed before coming to a stop. Or two, I downshift through the gears, which will slow the car down slightly, therefore saving on the brakes. For an example of this—if I was in fifth gear, I would push in the clutch, shift into fourth gear, and then let out the clutch slowly. I would do the same for third. Though I generally do not use this technique into second or first, but it is an option.
When I am done driving and ready to park the car, I will shut it off when it is in neutral. After the engine is off I will put the car in first gear and pull up the parking brake. The purpose of leaving the transmission in first is in case the parking brake fails—it is an added safety measure. All cars are a little different to drive, but this is how I drive my car.

.Rybak.I definitely would have done how to wax skis and made it really sexual.
I use the all weather kind that comes in a stick. I found it in the parking lot of the ski area I go to and I have been using that stick for two years now

You men like the red swix deoderant looking stick? I have a spare one of those if i forget to wax my skis.
immasUh no. There is brunch, but no brinner. Breakfast for dinner shall not be reduced to that.
She's not even saying breakfast for dinner. She's saying brunch for dinner. Brunch is a breakfast and lunch hybrid. You can't just take a hybrid and try to breed it with a meal to make some fucked up defect. That's like incest you freak.
SFBfound a cat while out hiking today, he let me pet him. his name is comrade cat.
