Martin Luther King, Jr. "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." I don't think we have an instrument that can measure that low.

Interesting how when cops murder unarmed black people, it is a few bad apples. We cannot allow a few bad apples to sour the great work law enforcement does. However, with the shoe on the other foot, you quickly nullify any validity of a protest. Shows the inequality they are talking about nicely, doesn't it.

Allah Akbar. I will be blatantly honest. I’m disgusted by your hypocrisy, you go against everything that Jesus taught and you don’t even have the back bone to stick to your own faith. ‘in God we trust’ is a total joke to you, you don’t trust god. You run around like frightened little rats with your weapons and pretend militias. You are quite literally no different to the taliban

She didn't have to say it...she lived it. And she still couldn't win. Brazile sums it up near the end: “If the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead. This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity.”

Anyone who compares a Havok to a performance suit clearly has absolutely no experience with acro flying.

In March, in the "sacrifice to Mammon" thread, you said we'd do better (I think than Italy and Spain) when we got to 500,000 cases, because we'd be better prepared. Link here You can't have it both ways, and you can't only point fingers at anti-police demonstrators. Liberals are no more a single monolithic bloc than conservatives are. Wendy P.

America has never felt the lack of a leader as keenly as it does today.

I would normally lean GOP. I like the Bush's, Reagan and Obama. Trump has changed everything. Less than one percent of what he does is in the interests of a better America.

You don't need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows.

I put most of my jumps on an original sabre and got used to canopies that like to dive. I tried the Stilleto 135 but didn't really like how reluctant it was to really dive. So I was also looking into a Katana. I did some jumps on a Hurricane 135 and a 120 and decided it was the one for me. Some of these PD/Icarus/Precision canopies were over $2000 for a new canopy! My new custom Hurricane 120 cost me just over $1100. The zero porosity coating is different than other companies too. The Hurricane comes with a coating that is not slippery like other new zero P's. It was super easy to pack the first time I packed it. No slippage at all! I've since put 500 jumps on it and it is quite a ride. The toggle turns create quite a dive. You'll be able to see the horizon OVER your canopy when you spin it. It'll keep the speed up longer too. I'd say it has a medium to light amount of front riser pressure. You can really make it float too if you're out on a long spot. It offers you soo much control. The flare is really nice and powerful. You can flatten the canopy and pull out of a dive fast any time you want. My only con is that some canopies can be really forgiving with sloppy packing and body position. Not really this one. If you pack sloppy and don't keep nice body position for and through the open you can get whirly off headings and maybe a spanker (had 2 in 500 jumps on it). It's not too bad though. Just don't expect to be getting those promised nice on heading openings if you pack and pull like sh*t.
