    You know why, right? Federal funding of testing sites not only doesn't directly WIN him votes in November, it actively HURTS his reelection campaign to see those numbers continue to rise. But a second stimulus cheque in the mail, well, that'll get him a few votes, and that money needs to come from somewhere. He doesn't give a shit about anything, or anyone apart from his reelection.

    I wear a Vigil neck buff. When I'm trucking I isolate myself in the truck. Shippers and receivers in the US are mostly taking things seriously. I don't go into truck stops and I do my best to bring all the food I need for my normal 6 days on the road. Manitoba has a small population and is not a travel destination in the early spring. We are lucky that way. But we have been taking the same precautions as everyone else. Schools closed, bars and restaurants closed. We are re-opening now slowly. The DZ is now open and doing some tandems, but not me. I'm taking enough chances already for a 63 yo with a wife who is a working nurse.

    That's the real story. Whatever happens as a result of the court's actions will be sorted out on appeal. If the judge is doing something illegal it will be fixed and the 'correct' legal action reinforced in precedent. What Barr's Justice department is doing is a separate and far more important issue. He is destroying the fundamental principle that all men are equal in the eyes of the law, and substituting for it his preferred idea that justice depends on who your friends are. It's mind boggling that up until now this mature democracy has depended solely on participants respecting the convention that President's don't tell AGs what to do and AGs don't meddle in political cases. If it prompts the gov't to actually taking some kind of action to fix that it might just be that Trump and Barr are doing you a favour by ripping that convention to shreds, but I doubt it.

    Maybe, maybe not - but whitewashing in cinema and TV is absolutely an example of long entrenched systemic, institutional racism that has suppressed or destroyed the career prospects of an untold number of BAME actors.

    You're talking about his impersonation of Snoop Dogg, right? The song from 1996? If that's so then I don't care, that's a very contextualized use of that word and there are millions of people on the planet who have sung along to many many many rap songs using that word. You don't get an automatic gotcha if someone does any of that. Again, who was a conservative entertainer who's career was ended by doing this? Meaning an honest, not deliberately racist depiction of a black person. This is nothing more than the 100th attempt to take down someone who vocally opposes Trump.

    Stop thinking you are the best at everything and the whole world wants to be like you....and start learning from other countries.

    sfzombie13, the DZ is not hard to find since it's the drop zone of everybody's dreams. You can go there anytime. That's what my readers are doing. You can follow me and The Outlaws on my Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/mike.marcon.92 Thanks for taking the ride! We just chose our First Official Outlaws Mascot. You can see his resume on my website. Happy Landings, Mike

    So, there were no black men that could have played the part? Civil Activist Paul Robeson played Othello on Broadway in 1943. At that time it was said that no white man should ever play Othello again.

    <laughs> yeah, it's a more than average sinus season here. So, runny nose, watery eyes, etc. etc. Same thoughts.

    What areas are those? That was certainly the case 1-2 months ago, but I am now seeing a lot of promotion of just going for a free test, no requirement for referral or symptoms or contact with an infected person. I've not been in a public establishment since mid-March, and no symptoms, so I have no interest in being tested.

    I can confirm that the Trap releases under circumstances similar to all the other non-Infinity MARDs, especially folding-bridle MARDS like Boost and Ace.

    Well, I already ordered C4 suit. And I think jumping from ATC to RACE is too much. I will use C4 for a year or two before considering further upgrade.

    Sounds like you pinched a nerve that controls your left arm. I suffer similar symptoms after damaging a pair of spinal discs in my neck. I suffer tingling and loss of control - in my arm(s) - if I sleep with my neck at the wrong angle. Delay any further jumps until your neck and arm have been checked by a medical doctor. A chiropractor may be able to help straighten out your neck. Good luck!
