Got an official response, the FBI has nothing relating to Max Gunther.

Being the 'most ignored' on here?

Hi Sky, As one who have never used or been a part of Twitter, I think it is time to get some popcorn going & sit back and watch what happens. At least the entertainment is free. Jerry Baumchen

Only in America would you get a billionaire to convince people they need to pay for Free Speech.

I noted Himmelsbach in my request.. I've also noticed that sometimes we discuss things that soon pop up in the files.. like they are toying with us.. Well they won't win....

Why would you be incredulous about that, that has been his MO for a long time on here.

That is odd about the name... adding Gunther's middle name means they have something on him.. As for Jo, she is unreliable.. She contacted me years ago and tried to convince me Duane was Cooper, she was very manipulative but when I rejected Duane she started lying about me to discredit me.. She is like the Gunther book, mostly fiction.. but what part is true?

Alcohol and guns are never a good combination. Regardless of the presence of alcohol, kids or anything else bringing a gun into someone else's home without asking is, IMO, not acceptable.

Sarcasm on DZ.com can get people hurt or killed and it needs to be noted in the comment, not several comments or threads away. MODS - The comment this refers to should be noted and or deleted.

I hope you are trolling for the sake of spirited conversation, but I fear you are not.... Yielding to the lower jumper is NOT OBSOLETE! In fact, your suggestion is dangerous and I encourage jumpers to disregard it. The reasons we yield to the lower jumpers are simple. First, jumpers in the pattern are (correctly) focused on their landings, which dictates giving primary attention to what is BELOW them. Jumpers are ALWAYS responsible to clear the area in their flight path - like clearing the area to the left or right AND below before making a turn. This includes pattern flight and final approach. Second, it is often impossible to see traffic above us because our canopies block much of the view. Yielding to the higher jumper simply doesn't make sense and much of the time would be impossible because of the blocked view. It also distracts from the mission at hand - clearing the flight path ahead and below, and landing safely. The "low person has the right of way" is a basic premise in all of aviation. CFR 92.113.g states in part "When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the aircraft at the lower altitude has the right-of-way...". Additionally, the USPA Skydiver's Information Manual agrees with this rule. SIM Section 6-1.C.3.c states "the low person has the right-of-way both in freefall and under canopy". Deciding on our own to buck accepted practices leads to confusion, and that leads to problems. As for high performance canopies and the jumpers who fly them, they are ALWAYS responsible to yield to lower traffic. This makes perfect sense. The higher jumper has the best field of view of the jumpers below them, they can monitor lower traffic without looking away from their flight path, they have more altitude to make an avoidance maneuver if necessary, and it's consistent with aviation and skydiving norms. I am a former high performance canopy jumper (and still have a rate of descent faster than many others) and can say in practice that yielding to the lower jumper works. When I am descending faster than the jumpers below me, I have the best opportunity to observe what they are doing and have the best field of view to decide how to avoid conflict. There are a lot of great ideas out in the field. Suggesting lower jumpers attempt to yield to traffic above them is a really, REALLY bad idea. My suggestion to other jumpers - no disrespect intended - is to COMPLETELY ignore your advice.

Good riddance to that fu#ker. He messed up the Olympics.Messed up any covid response.Messed up the economy. Bulldozed the rain-forest. Equally as bad as trump.

Gonna be stupid, you gotta be tough.

Isn't he the one pretending to be a policeman? Can see why he'd appeal to people like Ron who pretend to be christian.

The GOP is planning a nation wide gun control program to protect children just like Texas. aka "Millions of Texas children will get identification kits designed for parents to collect fingerprints and DNA to be used in case their kids are in an emergency such as a school shooting. Nearly 4 million Texans from kindergarten through grade eight will bring home a tri-fold pamphlet this month in which parents can place their children’s fingerprints, photo and a DNA sample, according to ABC13." Gotta give it to the GOP when it concerns gun control they are always on target. There has to be money making opportunities here somewhere.Naturally the concepts of privacy. Not giving anything of a personal nature to the evil, not to be trusted government. Are completely irrelevant when the republicans are concerned. Send your children's DNA, photo and fingerprints to a big government database. Great idea.

But think of the awesome business opportunities to come. Were I younger I would definitely have opened a chain of fake beard shops in Kabul after theTaliban took over. Now I'm thinking "Joe's Burqas", finest quality and made in America, too! Now that I could run from the boat and sell exclusively on Amazon. If you're a Federal Judge you could simply accessorize your robe and mask with a Hajib or the black cloth head bag you use for kidnapping individual liberties.

What really matters is that her voters are too dumb to know or care about the facts.

The new suits are incredible, but the performance asymptote is being reached. Average G/R is still in that low 3 range, for average glide. It likely always will be because the human wingspan is fixed to its height. Remember a wingsuit is nothing more than a really shitty glider, almost no aircraft have as poor of a glide ratio as a wingsuit. The real performance gains have been in the flares though, 2-300 feet of altitude gained.
