    Bigun has stepped up and invested a lot of work, and some of his relationships, into what he sees as an issue that he can contribute to personally, and that's important. It's not a blah blah blah, because we have multiple threads addressing this issue (including this one, started by you). If you don't like his approach (which does move the needle, and in a way that at least some conservatives find acceptable), how don't you like it? A national ban on firearms simply isn't going to happen, and you know that, too. OTOH, I guess SC is exactly the place where people come to just gripe about stuff they don't want to actually do anything about. Not sure that's wonderful. Wendy P.

    Unlike Trump he does not need constant stroking of his ego.

    Something to consider, at least from my perspective. Cooper would have thought this one out some, maybe in his mind, maybe on paper, maybe with a partner. These statements were made early on in the hijacking, so he likely thought about what he would say. Whatever he did say may very well have been for a reason, as in he didn't wing it in the moment. Same thing with the name. I have to imagine that his first interaction with Flight 305 and Northwest is going to involve a name that means something to him, but then again he could have gotten to the counter and made it up on the fly, doubtful.

    Why would you say that he is an atheist. He clearly believes in himself!

    OK, please direct our attentions to where BIGUN's approach, the one he adversely requires that we all adhere to so as to maintain our legitimacy, has "moved" the needle. He's smart, passionate and not fully in the box with his tribe but that would describe many of us here and is equally without pertinence. No person of letters has a snow balls chance in hell of adjusting, if only by an iota, the NRA bought and paid for position of the majority of the pandering, demagogic, right wing political minority that controls issue of gun control in America. Now, if BIGUN want's to lead a letter writing campaign that targets the right wing politicians he's helped install with sage advice on how to pull ones head out of their asses I might interested. But the idea that a well turned phrase can influence someone with the mentality of Sen. Tom Thune to reverse, or in any way meaningfully change, their position that AR-15's can never be restricted because they are useful for shooting prairie dogs is nothing short of phantasmagorical. Count me also as a "yawn".

    I did until I started jumping a Stiletto. I did find that it opened with a turn far more consistently when I psycho packed it. Now I'm just out of the habit, even though I'm no longer on a Stiletto. Of course, in the 80's I also side-packed, and got good openings (with a 1/4 turn) from that, too. Wendy P.

    I think a better explanation is that the people who voted for Biden are not members of a cult.

    Well, yes. In this case what you have written above is the literal truth. The liberal told the migrants where they were going, only sent volunteers, and coordinated things in advance with the host city. The conservative didn't. Interesting that your response to this imbalance isn't to blame the conservative for being a shower of shit, but to blame the liberal for not sinking to his level.

    So let's do that. We don't even have to go back 100 years, let's just go back 60. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/commentary/fl-op-edit-daytona-beach-volusia-county-shrinking-rising-seas-20191213-ixmk3rypcnhsxlgxbupw73zora-story.html Looks like you are, once again, a victim of right wing misinformation.

    I guess those other pesky issues are securely under the rug. Press on!

    Those people who died in the heatwaves of the 1930s were idiots. They should have used their air conditioning like we do now.

    Why the hell would a 22 year old stewardess give a crap about what exit he jumped out of? When did this conversation take place? There is not a single shred of evidence anywhere that this conversation occurred. You don't get to just make stuff up. While they were on the ground in Seattle and after Flo and Alice left, Cooper and Tina had a conversation about the Beatles while they smoked a joint together. He asked her who her favorite Beatle was. She said she liked George because he was the quiet one and all the other girls loved Paul and John. Cooper said he was more a Rolling Stones guy. Don't ask me where I learned about this conversation, but it totally, totally happened.

    So, this eliminated Reca... he knew nothing about the airstairs, didn't know 305 was a 727 and wanted to jump out the side door. check mate

    We use the Sena 50S (mesh audio) which works great when combined with a protective helmet (G4 or TFX) due to the better isolated features of those. Video / Video examples We also tried the updated 50S HK (2022) units and find those actually having more issues with BG noise and slightly less volume compared to the 'old' unit with the same model number.
