    If you're going to go back that far, why not calculate how much we owe Iran as a result of operation Ajax? Not only is it worse than anything they've done to us, everything that's happened since stems from it.

    If we are to survive this pandemic in the quickest and least lethal way, we need to stop thinking in terms of YOUR situation and MY situation and realize that it is in fact our situation

    The Lancaster bomber was a British aircraft used in WWII. The re-enactment is loosely based on a raid over the oil fields of Ploesti, Romania, which was under Nazi control. It's way more fun than it sounds. Chairs are set up in the shape of an aircraft. There is a pilot, co-pilot, bombardier, side gunners, tail gunner, nose gunner (yes, the actual bomber didn't have all those gunners, but more people equals more fun), four engines, several Messerschmidts and the narrator. I like to have real pilots at the controls to keep things a bit more authentic. The story begins with a takeoff at an airfield somewhere in Britain. At several points, the aircraft is attacked by Messerschmidts. Other things happen and eventually the story ends. I am not at liberty to disclose any further details beyond what I already have. Al Stephens used to do it on occasion back in the day. After he went in, several jumpers suggested that the honor of being the narrator be passed to me. I've put on several over the years. Really fun bit of performance art, especially when done while imbibing in a favorite adult beverage after a day of jumping.

    The White House @WhiteHouse This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible. Learn more “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”

    Not at all. Both Trump and Biden agree that 230 should be repealed. Trump's EO only has certain powers. To repeal it requires a vote from Congress. Should have happened a long time ago.

    Message from SKYDIVE ELSINORE JUNE 2020 WELCOME BACK TO THE SKIES FROM THE MIND OF JOSH HALL DROP ZONE MANAGER Starting on June 1st, we will be back to normal operations seven days a week. This will include tandems and AFF first jump courses. Please contact the office for bookings. This will be the last weekend for the free ground portion of recurrency training. You still need to pay for the jump with an instructor. Slots are limited so please contact the office in advance. Make sure to bring your face covering because it is still required to enter the office and when you come up to manifest. Otherwise, since we’re an outdoor activity, it has been decided that face coverings are now recommended but not required. Physical distancing whenever possibly will continue to be recommended. Please be responsible and respectful of others. Thank you and we look forward seeing you all soon!

    There were many more than 6 letters, I am studying some of them right now... maybe one or more can be linked to Cooper, but not yet. Ha, Ha, Ha, haven't read it, others have. The plant theory just doesn't make sense... the TBAR money was either unintentionally lost or intentionally discarded.

    #1 - I'm a capitalist, not a commie. I drive because I get paid to. #2 - I prefer 'tornado spawner', thank you very much.

    DJL, Jerry, Phil, I think you guy's are all missing the key point being made here. If Fukushima and 3 Mile Island were producing fossil fuels none of this would have happened. Capisce?

    Not a TI but this right here is a major risk factor that YOU need to take into consideration. I was talking with some people about the risks that I'm willing to take and I mentioned this very factor. I am choosing to let my guard down some while I still take what I consider to be reasonable precautions for MY situation. Because I am choosing to let my guard down some, and because I understand that I am increasing the risk that I could carry the virus, I am also paying special attention to who I am around. I am actively avoiding anyone I know who is in a higher risk category, I also avoid those who I know are wanting to avoid risk more than I am out of respect regardless of what their reasoning is. I am not visiting my older relatives. I live alone, I don't have anyone who is high risk depending on me, nor do I have the need to see anyone in those categories in person. If your situation is different, act accordingly.

    Of all the things that have been considered during the development of this AAD, an apocalypse was not one of them. However, despite the many changes on all fronts, progress continues to be made. I am expecting to start performing the flight testing of the Phase 1 Alfa program for the Sport AAD by the end of June, followed by the Phase 2 software by mid-August. If all goes to plan, the Phase 2 Alpha will become the Rev-A Beta software. Very excited to have that within sight! I have been thinking about if / how to compare some of the features of this AAD to the current AADs without calling out specific brands. Differences range from selftest / system awareness, to what is considered when making the decision to fire or not. I like the idea of just focusing on our product, but sometimes it is hard to answer a question about this AAD without comparing it to the current ones. But at that point, that is a good problem to have lol. Things are coming together nicely. Looking forward to going live!

    If someone else organizes one, I'll show up. Putting on two was enough for me. Reunion story - the first one, we had a paragraph in the waiver that warned everyone of rule 1 - DO NOT SWOOP THE POND. So on the first load of the boogie, someone who shall remain nameless decided it was a good idea to swoop the pond. Let's just say he didn't make it back to the dirt, and that was his last skydive of the boogie. He did hang around though. That evening we put on a Lancaster Bomber re-creation. Guess who was engine #3?

    Hi Coreece, He damn sure will get them closer than Trump ever will. Nope, but I hear plenty have seen prison - due in part to biden's lack of foresight.
