Mis-read the chart. My eyes jump a line when reading the customer service column. My bad.
I hate my ZTE (Max XL). Yes, it has a huge screen - that was my motivating factor for buying it.
But it crashes about every two-three days, the touch screen is very flaky (completely unusable if it's charging), can't switch between two apps without it fulling killing one, and it can't even handle streaming media over bluetooth while google maps is open. $40 Kyoceras have better stability.
I would not recommend a ZTE to anyone.
To be fair, Comcast may very well have the best customer service among major ISPs, which is not so much a testament to Comcast's superior relations as it is to how incredibly shitty customer service is across the industry.
Was your wife facebook friends with any of those coworkers? A possible non-recording explanation is that one of those coworkers looked up the restaurant (either during or after the meal), and then FB pushed the ad to said coworker's friends (or maybe just those who it knew had been in close proximity over the last couple of days).
Gen *Y* is the Millennial generation. Gen Z is the "little shits" turning 18 now.
Boomer 1946-1964
Gen X 1965-1981
Gen Y/Millennial 1982-1998
Gen Z/Post-Millennial 1999-2016(?)
Give or take a couple of years on either end of the ranges depending on what specific cultural element you are judging the generations by. (The defining characteristics of a post-gen-z generation aren't yet known, so we don't know when to draw a line on gen z.)
The second stage is autonomous. The current F9S2 does not have a long enough battery life to support extended duration missions. This is one reason why the current Falcon 9 cannot do a direct GEO launch -- it doesn't last long enough to do the circularization burn.
Longer-endurance batteries are scheduled to fly something this year.
During STS-51-A Discovery retrieved two satellites and brought them back to earth for later relaunch.
Hubble servicing missions included boosting it to higher orbit.
That was beautiful.
Half those lines are going into my fortune file.
(stage 2 might undergo more re-design once they start re-using it ; first landing attempt will be with FH test )
Do you have a source on that? I've seen speculation along those lines, but never anything official (or even suggestive of that from an official source.)
That's a Saturn V/STS/SLS crawler-transporter. It's not used for Falcon.
The Falcon 9 is moved from factory to launch site using a much more basic/standard trucking rig, on the highway (See Core Spotting for pics of it on the road.) When it gets to the launch site, it's placed on the transporter-erector-launcher (TEL) and mated to the second stage (which is also road-transported) and payload. The TEL moves it from the horizontal integration facility (HIF) to the actual pad.
SLC-39A The current sat image of SLC shows the TEL in a horizontal position at the pad (with no rocket on it). The HIF is just outside the ring around the pad. The track between the two is visible, as is the old rotating service structure from the Shuttle days.

Snopes could do better though. Consider what Snopes wrote as their claim:
Claim: Hillary Clinton successfully defended an accused child rapist and later laughed about the case.
And now consider this claim, which is actually closer to several of the rumors and the implications of the claim:
Claim: Hillary Clinton volunteered to defended an accused child rapist, successfully got him freed, and later laughed about the case.
I would agree that this claim is mostly false.
