Hi folks, While I do not track everything Trump does, this one is right up there for the prize of a lifetime: allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution Trump calls for ‘termination’ of election rules in Constitution to overturn 2020 election | The Hill Well, it really is only a piece of paper; maybe we can toss it into the fire & move on.

Yea we aren’t likely to get Cooper’s DNA readout. I remember years ago hearing that they had 9 loci, but it was told to me with the caveat that I could not chat about it. So some of you guys had some good inside info, which is a good thing. The DNA thing has always fascinated me, both from a Cooper standpoint and from personal family research. I’ve had my DNA uploaded for a while, and that gives one a whole new insight into how people are related. The Golden State Killer case went back to 4th cousins (I’ve read 3rd too). They had 1,000 people to look at. Even if those 1,000 were still alive, that’s 1,000 out of 350 million in the US. The chances of DNA matching or two people being related is very very low. So when there is a DNA match, it is pretty foolproof.

I'll get right on that Joe. I love the new B-21 you guys are buying at 750 million a copy. I hear some of your war monging generals want 100 of them. Maybe we can slash a little something out of our healthcare budget and chip in for some spare tires for one of them.

He's a musician, Bill. It's not about being the smartest person in the room; it's about being the loudest.

Once "deep state" enters the conversation, all reason leaves. Anything that doesn't line up is because "they" are fooling you and you're a sucker for believing it. It's the same as the "eye-witnesses can be wrong" thing. Once you go there, all bets are off, and all things are possible. Personally, Fly, I wouldn't chase anyone down that rabbit hole. If you corner them they'll just claim they were trying to make you follow them and declare victory. The guy's obviously Froot Loops. Let him get stale all on his own.

Rich, I’d love to believe your projection is that which will come to pass, but I’ve got less faith in my crystal ball**** than you seem to have in yours. ***I used to have two crystal balls, prior to the accident.

It’s a shame he won’t get to lose again. he won’t get the GOP nomination. But goes rogue and runs independently, wrecking DeSantis by splitting the vote. I’ll make the popcorn….

You need to put "Deeper" on the front of your thread title.

Try Skydive Spain in Seville - they have good weather all year round, can probably sort out accommodation and transport etc at a reasonable price. You won't get 'cheap' jumps but the overall price should level out. Alternatively, you could contact Skydive Atmosphera (sp) also based in Seville, who can probably offer some type of all-in deal. Or contact Scotty Milne at Active Skydiving. He runs monthly AFF trips down to Seville, except during high summer, and is always happy to have licenced jumpers along with his group. That way you get to share transport/accomocdation etc which all helps with the overall price and thereby brings your price per jump down. Seville have good aircraft, altitude 15k every jump, good gear if you want to hire and so on. I get what you mean by 'cheap' jumps - maybe you could have worded it better!! 'Cheap' and 'skydiving' don't always fit well in the same sentence. Blue Skies.

I will concede that US funding and military assets in the region. In assistance of NATO operations have saved tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives. Likely been responsible for 70% of Ukrainian territory regained. Ukraine lost the war? Probably not. Canada and NATO has supported Ukraine for a while. "Since the start of Op UNIFIER(2015), the CAF(Canadian Armed Forces) has trained over 34,000 Ukrainian military and security personnel in battlefield tactics and advanced military skills" I think that France, Italy and Germany have been slackers in supporting Ukraine. Although Germany is starting to turn around. This war will leave Russia a military cripple. With only its nuclear weapons and a few ships left for whats been disclosed to be a paper tiger. Sorry SK thats a fact. US defense contractors do quite well having the whole western world dependent on US weapons. We’re #1: The U.S. Government is the World’s Largest Arms Dealer Kinda like a drug dealer giving out free samples.

You are lying again. At this point, do you think anyone here believes anything you say?

I am not American and my location is inside a Volcano.. that is all I can say.

USPA has not "refused" to implement a wingloading restriction. Wording it that way suggests the organization should implement one but won't. That would be incorrect. Wingloading restrictions have been discussed on numerous occasions and the collective opinion is that there are simply too many variables to have a one-size-fits-all rule. I am pretty well educated on performance canopy flight and can attest to this. There are jumpers who begin formal performance flight training early in their careers and others who have thousands of jumps before testing the CP waters. Some jumpers take to performance flight quite easily while others struggle with their progression. The list of variables goes on and on, and that's the point. What is safe for one jumper of a given license or jump numbers may not be safe for another. Local leadership is in the best position to evaluate, educate, and enforce. While we're at it, why do you not mention D license holders in your suggestion to make a restriction? I know some D folks that I would never want to see playing with higher wingloadings. License levels do not verify skills beyond those required to achieve the license.

Well said! I am more and more coming around to this similar opinion.
