The set of four small thrusters came online Wednesday after NASA engineers noticed the spacecraft’s attitude control thrusters had been degrading for several years. In related news, the fridge I just bought has broken down. Again.
Alternately:
I try to fire my thrusters more often than every 37 years

The more you know about the news media and how it works, the less likely you are to believe conspiracy theories – even ones you might find politically tempting. That's what they want you to believe anyway

The "study" is correct; you get more influence over the opinion of the people if you can educate them priorly to what they should and should not accept as truth.
Conspiracy-thinking is fueled not by the MSM, but by the blatant lies we're fed by politicians. A Blair who can call for war without proof. Americans spying on their German "allies". Liberating Libya from a mad dictator, only to led it slide further into anarchy and slavery once the oil is secure. Ignoring another dictator so he can develop nukes.
By having a Hillary still running around, supported by someone with big money, and Hungary openly under attack from Soros. Where people hold a referendum and the votes are cast out into the trash. Conspiracy-thinking is rising, because more and more theories prove to be facts, and because the official story is usually full of holes.
It is thanks to the lack of education that they can keep controlling their demogagies, and why they don't like competition from "populists". Because democracy, it ain't.

The conspiracy to make me forget who I was, and replace it with who I am, goes all the way down to the cellular level.

Thankfully, I've been brainwashed into believing that if I take care of my health and aren't otherwise unlucky, I'll live longer than would otherwise be the case.
It also gave the means by which I could realise you were trying to express a thought and even let me feel confident I'd understood it.
Try again!

3 conspiracy theorists walk into a bar.
That can't be a coincidence now, would it?
|

The phrase "conspiracy theory" has been so successfully tied to idiots like the "we never went to the moon" brigade and the flat-earth mob that anyone talking of actual conspiracies can easily be tainted by association.
That's something that could be seen as a ..........

A new and exciting piece of Software technology comes out. It’s slick and shiny, and it promises to do something that was never before thought possible. It’s revolutionary and everyone talks about it.
And then nothing happens. As opposed to problem-driven tech solutions

Bitcoin slid to as low as $9,000 in volatile trade on Thursday, having lost more than a fifth of its value since hitting an all-time high of $11,395 on Wednesday. Don't worry, it's still insanely overvalued

That "blip" has been erased already. Overvalued is hard to say; if more people adopt BC, or even move a bit of their wealth into BC, then the price will go up even more - since demand grows, and production doesn't.
MacAfee predicted "100.000$" BC by 2020, or he would "eat his d*ck[^]". Not that we'd be alive, as according to Elon Musk AI will have wiped out humanity by then.
And now, even PWC[^] is accepting BitCoin, apparently they don't mind the so called "volatility"

The Fregat upper stage sent its satellites back into Earth's atmosphere. More of a geography error, but sure, blame the programmers

If you have to tell the thing where it is - it doesn't have GPS. No more a programming error than the spaceship that crashed after operators confused miles with kilometres.

It’s been almost 20 years since Microsoft released the first version of the C# language. From its inception—when some unjustly deemed it a mere Java copycat—until now, C# has had a remarkable evolution. "And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future."
