    I'm pretty sure that was before my kid came out as trans. I'm pretty sure that was before my AR-15 was used in a shooting. I'm pretty sure that was before we found out the fossil fuel industry was lying. I'm pretty sure that was before we knew Trump was a crook. I'm pretty sure that was before my daughter need an abortion to live. I'm pretty sure ___________________________________.

    Yeah, that "article" has this fine illustration: Clearly these problems all started when we were woke enough to allow gay people to have a marital union. Anyways, I don't agree with that particular Norwegian Law and I am sure there are many other laws in Norway I don't agree with. When she is actually charged and there is a trial, maybe your original "article" makes any sense. Until then it is fear mongering aimed at old white men like you, afraid things might change. EtA: the EU Times btw is owned by the wife of a skinhead and she was a proud member of a local neo-Nazi group. But she didn't describe herself as a Hitler lover, just a "white racialist." Interesting that would even come up for you in a google search.......

    The silver nitrate print method was used for "wet" surfaces, unlikely it was used on the tie. Standard fingerprint powders can contain many of the particles found. However, the tie was tested for body fluids and there are several tests available including luminescence or sodium hydroxide..

    Rep. Gohmert recently identified a part of the US Justice System that is very unfair to republicans - you can't lie under oath. "If you're a Republican, you can't even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they're coming after you. Or they’re going to bury you. They’re gonna put you in the D.C. jail and terrorize and torture you." Yes, he actually said this. The republicans chafe under the cruel and heinous requirement that . . . . politicians not lie under oath.

    Thanks for all the replies, guys. Seville looks like a decent place and quite easy to get to - that sounds like it could be the right DZ for a week trip here and there. Do you think I should avoid talking about base there or would it be OK? When I got my A-licence (ten years ago) it wasn't something you could speak about at the DZ, one of the fun jumpers went and did a bridge jump somewhere or other and "got in trouble" over it. Maybe a large DZ like Seville is more open to it these days, though, right? You see - as you guys mention - I would need to tailor my jumping towards base-relevant stuff so I'd rather be honest with them. I am also interested in doing FS1 as well while I'm there, probably, just to tick that, but otherwise quite happy to do dozens of hop 'n pops and get great at landings. Tracking, too ^ as just mentioned. I would happily pay for a coach for all of these things, and it sounds like they have coaches available. WRT to canopies - I will probably hire whilst there, initially. I guess for the first trip (they are open 5 days per week) I might get in a few dozen jumps so maybe any large "student" canopy would suffice and I can work out which base-like canopy to move into in due course. Should I avoid jumping my BJ for a while yet, i.e. save it for a few dozen plane jumps maybe much later on? Don't want to wear it out, right? Cheers, guys

    Surely term limits for elected officials in pools of 100 and 435 are less important than term limits for appointed judges in a pool of 9?

    Man, you have the harshest penal system and by far the largest proportion of incarcerated people in any western nation, and you also have the worst mass shooting problem. Clearly ‘stop being soft on criminals’ is not the solution.

    Moreover, I stand by my point that believing you need to buy one or two AR-15's and a crate of ammo, and a dozen high capacity mags and walk out the door with your new arsenal, should be seen, as a default condition, as evidence of mental instability. If you can prove otherwise then come back in two weeks after your successful psychological exam and pick up your guns. Why? Well, because just like your pit bull that never bit anyone before some things simply can not be trusted based on biased assertion.

    I'd ask a canopy coach to evaluate you. There are people with thousands of jumps who shouldn't be jumping a 1.38 WL, and people with 50 who could handle it with ease.
