And Trump said "Five, but that's my final offer."

The guy who committed the London Bridge knife attacked was subdued by someone with narwal tusk and someone else with a fire extinguisher. It was such a game changer that a gun wasn't involved that they took him down literally with the closest shit hanging on the wall.

You kiss the blessed ground upon which this great country was built.

So then, I guess that means that the future always looks brighter when a D is in office.

Robert,, Sheridan's book is between Snow and Sheridan, it really has nothing to do with Shutter.

Agreed. However he and his supporters have certainly claimed all the increases for him. Only logical to then tie the decreases to him as well. Live by the sword and all...

What's the difference between COVID-19 and Boeing 737 MAX? COVID-19 is airborne.

Without people to disagree with this would be a boring place. It's already down to too few regular posters, we need you and everyone else as well. I have friends in the real world who also disagree with me over things. But we just agree not to talk about them. I assume that in normal regular everyday life you are another skydiver who is awesome to be around. This is about the only place I can have discourse with people about some of these things. I've tried on FB, but it just turns into a shitshow of shouting because there are no rules. This place has just about the right level of moderation to keep things civil, yet openly talk about strong differences of opinion. Many, perhaps most of us are going to get this thing. Most of us will be fine health wise. All of us are going to have our lives changed to some degree for at least half a year. Maybe longer. I sure hope this site is well maintained so I can have someone to bitch at.

Yup, I agree. Trump rallies should continue.

I suppose that as long as our priority is to use this crisis for more political divisiveness, then we're still in pretty good shape. When you see people starting to band together in unity, then you know we're fucked.

Sorry, this is speaker's corner, no such thing allowed you hoser.

you need to say "up" jump run and not "on" jump run. in discussions like this being precise helps. :) i read the reddit thread. i'll echo what remster said, in a breakoff, your #1 job is to get separation from your group-mates, and often that means a few people are tracking up and down jump run. group exit intervals should be designed to take the fact that some people from both groups will be tracking up and down jump run into account. now once you are in the situation the reddit poster described, you are in some trouble, and what you do is very situation dependent. pull early, alter your track direction, stop tracking and wait, lots of options and i can't give any advice over what to do but be aware of where everyone is and do what is best to keep away from them all.

they hadn't left enough separation or used it up, the jumper stated that they had a 12 second count, but that it could have been "skydiver seconds" and they didn't know the ground speed or discuss anything about who was doing what on the jump. he wanted to know if anything else could have been done besides groups separation to avoid canopies underneath him at pull time. the reddit thread is here. i initially thought it was sop to not track on jump run, then found out that was most likely an artifact from student status of 22 years. i am always going to make it a point to not track on jump run if possible, and to practice my tracking until i get really good at it. glad to have seen the thread and i learned a lot from the discussion.

"377 - someone told me that you are not just someone interested in this crime and that you have used me for information...is that true?" Jo, Whoever told you that is wrong. I have no axe to grind or commercial interest in anything connected with Cooper. The case has fascinated me since my youth. I have jumped the Navy 26 conical, jumped from a jet airliner and have other relevant knowledge such as radar technology. It is fun to speculate about what happened that night and how we can collectively solve the mystery. That's it, nothing more. You need to stop suspecting that anyone who disagrees with you is taking advantage of you or plotting against you. I plead not guilty. Sincerely, 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.
