    Ok so I got my mental bleach ready and actually gave those bastards the click they wanted just to check out what kind of shite they were peddling. First, where in the flying fuck do you get that they are trusted by either side? Check out their Twitter feed, they’re rabidly pro-Russia. They literally sell merchandise and clothing with pictures of destroyed and damaged Ukrainian armoured vehicles. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself for promoting the glorification of war and conquest in that way. Second, even they said inside the first two minutes of that video that the claim of Ukraine committing its last reserves was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Yet here you are stating it as fact. And you try and convince us that you’re not just Putin’s little lapdog, brainwashed into cheerleading for his vicious and brutal war?

    About 30% of US CO2 emissions come from cars and trucks. I takes about 10g of gasoline to accelerate a mid sized fossil fueled car from zero to 30mph. This produces about 30g of CO2. If you hadn't been stopped unnecessarily that gas would have taken you about 200 yards instead of zero yards. And then add to that the gas burned while idling at the light waiting for it to change. Think about how many times you have been stopped at a traffic light or 4-way stop when there was actually nothing to wait for. Multiply that by the number of cars on the road and you can see that an overhaul of our traffic management schemes could reduce vehicle emissions by a huge amount. The worst offenders are old traffic lights with no smart sensors, such as are found in many of our cities. Yield at entry roundabouts not only reduce accidents compared with traffic lights** but don't bring vehicles to an unnecessary stop. Traffic lights are the spawn of Satan. ** Studies by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). When roundabouts replace a traffic signal, FHWA found a 48% reduction in crashes and nearly 80% drop in serious injury and deadly crashes.

    Except when Putin tells you he’s invading to get rid of Nazis.

    I keep waiting for someone brave in the media sphere to get what Fani Wallis gets in spades: it was a criminal enterprise. If you go back to the Nuremberg trials there was Defendant 27, the SS. They were found guilty, the entire organization. That's where we need to be. DA Fani Willis is my current hero. When she finally gets all of the indictees, and I think she will, we'll be back on track to regaining the democracy the founders envisioned.

    I can just imagine the pride Putin felt when the FSB informed him that they had infiltrated speakers corner.

    True trumpers will dismiss this by calling the courts fixed and corrupt. Then satisfy their frustrations by buying another AR-15.

    For trump's supporters when they realize they have been had? Using honor in the same sentence with trump himself is a oxymoron isn't it?

    Coward's way out. "Honorable" would be facing the consequences for his actions, accepting the punishment, learning the lesson and becoming a better person. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Not with him.

    Dude you're going on a year now of posting BS videos that 'irrefutably demonstrate that Ukraine is just about to lose the war'. Maybe you should look for new video sources....Or better yet, put some thought into answering Jakee's question above. With all your resources on the issue, it shouldn't be hard no? Or you'll just spew some BS and post another video tomorrow...My money's on door #2, you're so predictable.

    Well, mine wasn't that scary...compared to some of these posts..(A DOUBLE malfunction?!...HOLY Moses, Mary Mother of Jesus..!!). I was doing my third jump. The JM had some trouble spotting that day... He must've realized the mistake after watching the first two jumpers descending short of the recovery area so he decided to improve his performance and adjust his fire...for effect. Well, I ended up way long and I tried my best to crab the windline to get back to the airport. As I approached the airport I realized I wasn't going to make it with this 35 ft. TU. ...I was now entering that thicker air and I could see that reaching the airport was just wishful thinking. I now had a decision to make and had three options before I made my last turn into the wind and brace myself: Door #1- the highway down below and in front of me Door #2- the high power transmission lines between me and the airport in the distance. Door #3- a stand of trees along a roadside ditch between the highway and the transmission lines. Observing the cars on the highway below me moving at a pretty good clip (and not slowing down) I suspected I was out of their visual - above their windshield view of the world ..so I decided to try for a little more distance and milk the descent just a tad more..and get past that highway and the sound of screeching brakes and the sickening crunch. OK..that worked, now...power lines or trees, power lines or trees........ Not wanting to add a "sparky" to my jump log I pulled the right toggle and did my turn and ditched in the trees (We had the power line landing in training ..but COME ON ...really now.) I came down through the branches and ended my journey that afternoon with a buttstrike in the road side ditch as a station wagon went driving by..., junior in the back, with his face pressed against the window, in a slightly excited state jabbering away at mom and dad in the front seat, pointing at the goon in the tree. Wave to the people...smile. Free air show for Junior that day.

    Landed out early one foggy morning from a beacon spot in the hills miles from the DZ. On the walk out I passed a group of horseman who had just killed something ???? They didn't respond to my greeting but just looked at each other as if to work out what to do to me. I kept walking cheerfully & as soon as I got out of their sight.... I ran. oh no this has made me remember a whole series of run in with rednecks. Another time I was nearly run over on purpose by a bunch in a 4WD who kept turning back and having another go at me...whoops some things are better off forgotton....

    We made some jumps one weekend at Bragg from a Huey in the late 60's. The price was right but the altitude was less than we would have liked. For the last lift of the day the pilot took us up to altitude 7500' maybe a little more.

    Hi Dave, 10-4 for sure on the CH-46 Navy/Marines!! HMM-161 (I think) on the USS Okinawa LPH-3 WESTPAC-70 got to snag a few hops at Casselejos X-C the bayfrom Subic!! a few posts back, I made note of the hops, what fun!! John Painter got the pilots to "take 'er up!!" and we were on jump run at 15K!!! Me, John, this Marine #2 Lt. with 15 jumps, PR-1 McKinnis and me!! MjrMassey, the sqdn CO said (or so we found out afterwards) that regs. said we could only do static line hops for sport from Military A/C. Boy were we surprised?? Dude, like we did 15K!! The joke is on him, where ever he is. Boy would I ever love to confront him today with the info about our jump, heheheheheh!!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

    DOH! Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
