That's nothing. I just heard a new 100% confirmed Qanon meme. You know that ship that is stuck in the Suez Canal and is blocking 10% of the world's marine shipping right now? It's transporting underage sex slaves for Hillary Clinton. The proof: the ship is owned by Evergreen Marine, and its call sign is H3RC. Clinton’s Secret Service code name is Evergreen, and her initials are HRC. That's even more confirmation than two doctors you found on the Internet.

Cut out the white part of the typical medical mask, leaving just the blue part. No more fogged up glasses, you get fresh air with every breath, people can see you smile and you can still participate in the theater of mask wearing without getting shade from the mask nazis. A win win all around.

Yeah, the Deep State goes so deep that even when a Trump lackey was running the CDC they didn't sound the word about the miraculous benefits of Hydroxychloroquine. I'm sure that your rural GA mountain doctors are all over it though.

Wow, still damaged by Trump.....sad I am not being jerky, for those who have recovered from covid, those who who have been vaccinated and those who are not at high risk yet still are compelled to participate in the charade of perfunctory mask wearing, this is a legitimate work around.

Sorry thought you were talking about the capital protesters, I didn’t imagine you were still dwelling on something that happened back in ‘18. Trump must have cut you deep.......real deep

Right and we could do more, but we don't. The result is 42,000+ fatalities. Society has accepted the current level of freedom (and cost). The current per year firearm fatalities and level of freedom balance is at the point where it will take extreme restrictions for decrease in the fatalities per year rate. One side loses nothing if there are more extreme restrictions to the current level of freedom and the other loses a lot. Imagine if someone was proposing the same types of requirements and restrictions on freedom of speech as you describe for vehicle ownership and driving? It would be a non-starter. Derek V

OK, now you agree to the same level of regulation as applies to aviation? Mandatory instruction, written test, practical test with government approved examiner, competency review every other year, medical requirement by govt. approved doctor, medical, license and equipment registration posted on publicly available database. Annual inspection of equipment. All machines individually registered. Fine with me.

And cars have been upgraded, reviewed, redesigned, legislated, regulated etc etc etc in response. The gun lobby has resisted everything along those lines. But, we understand you are fine with kids dying as long as you get to keep your guns.

Not what I’m saying at all. Firearm fatalities are a problem. Vehicle fatalities are a problem. We must balance freedom and cost. This is the basis of the 2 sides of the argument. One side says the freedom is not worth the cost and other side says it is. One side says 42,000+ fatalities in a year is worth it for the standard of living cheap privately owned vehicles provide. Is the freedom to own and fly an airplane worth even one child’s life? Freedom of speech comes at a cost. People are slow to say hateful, hurtful, and even untrue things. This is the price of the freedom of speech. Is allowing hateful, hurtful untrue speech worth everyone having the freedom of speech? Or do we remove that freedom to stop the speech we don’t like?

If the most if us are either bum fuck crazy, delusional or open to believing the most absurd propositions, and I dare you to argue otherwise, would it still be a people problem? We don't let kids drive for a reason, right? I mean surely there are quite a few who could handle it at 10 years old, yes? It was an admittedly poor attempt at sarcasm. My daughter was driving our street legal golf cart, then the cops showed up at my house. I'm all puffed up right, because I made sure with the Police Chief that it was all legal - right down to her taking a golf cart safety course. I'm thinking someone reported her and they were WRONG!. She'd busted through a stop sign WHILE on her phone. Damn criminals.

Dear Kleggo, The bigger the reserve, the better when you land unconscious. That is why students get 250 square foot reserves.

Not picking on you, but what are the recommendations for an unconscious jumper of any weight? I've been conscious and aware for all my reserve rides (many........., training CReW jumpers has it's hazards), but always size my reserves close to 1:1 in the event I'm just a sack of meat and am not flying it.
