    try to avoid those bills for a few months and see what the creditors say. they aren't in the habit of forgiving loans and keeping the lights on if they don't get money for it. even after social distancing is over, how many tandems will decide it's worth the risk? and how many fun jumpers will avoid jumping for a while after it stops to see how it goes before jumping again? they may have fewer bills, but they also have less opportunity to collect the money. a 182 can get two tandems per load, one if they want outside video, maybe two (our dz takes four passengers, not five like i've heard some take). that being said, you are mostly correct, you just forgot that even though the bills are much less, being shut for a few months hurts pretty bad since there is nothing coming in and the bills are still there.

    Weird how you keep claiming how you don't understand why other people think you are racist when you post things like this.

    This case case is so difficult and divisive because there are really few facts and lots of conflicting and erroneos information even within the FBI documents. Those documents are investigative notes they aren't conclusions.. so they can be interpreted differently.. The best evidence supports a jump in the FBI zone roughly between Ariel and Battle Ground.. but of course it isn't a fact, Cooper may have jumped later. The more information you have the better you get at assessing probabilities.. ultimately this case is a jigsaw puzzle with only 10% of the pieces in place. 50% of the pieces are jumbled 20% don't belong and 20% are missing.. My highest probability scenario is Cooper jumped N of Battle Ground around 8:12, pulled and landed safely perhaps a slight injury. He was likely the one who broke into the store next to the tracks at 11:30 PM and went South along the rail tracks to escape.. there is no way to prove it. The FBI pinpointed a landing zone for Cooper based on evidence, that doesn't make it a fact but it is the highest probability. almost 20,000 pages.. https://vault.fbi.gov/D-B-Cooper I did research missing Canadians years ago and found nothing..

    I was having a quiet beer at the pub the other day and a man walked in with a pet newt on his shoulder. I asked, 'What's his name?' 'Tiny', the man replied. 'Why do you call him Tiny?" I asked. He looked at me like I was a complete moron and said, "Because he's my newt".

    I’m using a sony 20mm 2.8 prime with an ultra wide converter on it. I have heard of people using sigma lenses that take great photos but the auto focus is slower. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/913561-REG/sony_sel20f28_20mm_f_2_8_alpha_e_mount.html

    Yesterday, this post had over a hundred views and no responses after 6 hours, and this was a good thing. Then all it took was added bait from the second most ignorable poster on the entire forum, and you all had to take a bite. This was a great opportunity to leave him shouting into the void, and you failed. Every one of you should be ashamed.

    Some people don't finish AFF. Some people never get their license. Some people get their license and drift away soon after. Some people jump for a year or two and then disappear. Some do it until they decide to become 'responsible' and quit. That may be their own decision or they may have 'help' with it. Some jump until they realize how much time & money it takes to stay current and reasonably safe, or to progress beyond 'sorta good'. Some jump until they get hurt, or see someone they know get hurt or killed. The danger isn't 'real' until then. So they quit. Some become Tandem Instructors (or packers or even DZOs), then get burned out by the grind. Of course, some of us keep on despite all of the above and refuse to quit.
