Yes, I am. In fact, as far as I can tell from experience, the only individual with an accurate looking avatar is BillVon.

???? How was I to know you were female?

Nonsense. I was merely rejecting a specious analogy.

He died happy doing what he loved?

How? Only 90 miles of 1200 were built when Biden cancelled the project. If what I read is true, completion was years away. That would mean that 0 barrels would be delivered today.

Go back into your bubble. Kids don't buy airplanes on their 18th birthday and crash them into schools to get famous.

OK, please tell us just how much oil would be delivered daily today to US refineries if Keystone XL was not cancelled.

Stop underestimating 3rd graders. You can buy her a JR-15 from WEE1 Tactical. https://wee1tactical.com/ For a little defense to compliment her new offensive capability you can pair it with a new bullet proof back to school backpack from Amendment II with their new Rynohide CNT insert. Check out their CEO firing a pistol into a child's colorful backpack to prove it works. Instead of being so negative, be grateful there are people who can control their gag reflex and are willing to spend sleepless, tormented nights to do the hard work of keeping children safe.

I don't think so. I think we're looking at sending them to Poland and Slovakia so they can send their Russian S-300 systems.

Who could understand doing such a thing? I think the mental illness trope is a crutch we use to steady ourselves not to explain away horrendous actions committed by others. We need to believe such things cannot be hiding away in ourselves; that we all might be ticking time bombs or capable of being somehow triggered into committing the unimaginable worst humans can do to each other.

Yes. It's so easy to observe that it wasn't seen coming. It causes me to think that there is more behind everyone here on SC that I interact with than I can ever truly know. I need to think about that truth.

I have been consistent on these pages that the slow boil strategy was right. I think he facts on the ground in Ukraine, from a purely strategic point of view, have validated that idea. Now, my opinion has changed. Now I think we need to up the game. We need to give our Eastern European NATO partners free rein to supply their soviet era weaponry to Ukraine with a promise that the US will supply replacements. That includes operating aircraft. Just believing the Russians are incompetent is nice. Realizing that if they close that gap will give them an opportunity to sue for peace is another. Now is the time to get serious.

Absolutely. Keystone XL would have been completed long ago and already operating at the increased capacity level of 830,000,000,zillion bpd. Modern Dirigibles filled with natural gas for delivery to Europe would be departing on the hour from New Jersey. Once emptied they would be sent back for refill by a new underwater high speed rail system. All of which could have already been constructed with overwhelming bi-partisan support if he wasn't such a bozo.

So, she went low on her first big way and she's in the Black/Gay/Immigrant sector. Not good, but it happens to the best of us. By thinking it proves something, you show us more about yourself than her.

In other words, it was a pretense so that if they really were getting low the altitude trigger would have only been a problem after time had run out and then c'est la vie. You wouldn't want a Tandem setting on your AAD when a Swoop setting was on offer, not when destiny is knocking.

Please post where she specifically stated her credentials for being press secretary are "I am a Black, gay, immigrant woman". Because as far as I know she specifically said: "I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts. I am a Black, gay, immigrant woman — the first of all three of those to hold this position," she said. "If it were not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me, I would not be here. But I benefit from their sacrifices. I have learned from their excellence. And I am forever grateful to them." "Representation does matter," she added. "You hear us say this often in this administration, and no one understands this better than President Biden." To make hard things easier to understand I often read them backwards so I can better focus. Now, while it's never worked for me with what you post, it just might help you read that all she was doing was stating an interesting reality that is also a first for the position, not her credentials.

By being certain the optics of this are awful means not that I judge it relative to the Noonan incident. We Skydivers and Dropzone operators, are a small group. The FAA allows us and assists us to be self governing. We need look no further to be offended. I operate a decent size DZ, often as not the highest volume DZ, in Lukes region. His family owns Kapowsin, a DZ that has already had some black marks from the FAA laid on it in the NW Region. Unless you have your regions FAA inspectors personal cell phone numbers and are contacted for information and advice on things they hear then you cannot know just how bad this stupidity is. Pressure will happen. That's a certainty. I'm good but I'm not the only other DZ in our region. They were being selfish and indifferent to all skydivers and, in particular to those jumpers, instructors etc.who make their money skydiving, and for that reason alone Luke should resign.

Not surprisingly not a single Fox News propagandist or anyone with the last name of Trump was on the list. Surely it was an oversight.

Please update your profile so we can feel good that you're worth the time. For example, I would expect a Doctoral student to know that the word is bear, not bare.

I for one value competence in someones sexual proclivities. The problem I have with your proclivities is that, without knowing it, you demonstrate a bigoted position. Whom she takes her pleasures with, and at what day of the week or time of day, is her nature. That is to say it's natural. If you truly were a fair, and unbiased, observer you wouldn't make a distinction. But that is not you.

Previously I asked if you wanted to know what the term is. The term is Echolalia. Palilalia is also in play.

Thanks. Very helpful.

Yep. I'll put a decent Bourbon aboard so if you stop by The Peoples Republic of Joe you won't be disappointed.

If you were 21 years old or less, and Russian, during WWII you had less than a 20% chance of being alive after the war. What is stunning to me is that it must be a cultural thing. Modern Russian society is connected to the world. They know how their leaders think. And yet, like our own brainwashed many here in the US, they buy the bullshit and let it happen. The world we hoped would happen seems no longer on offer; too many yearn for no choices and controlled stability. It's a bitter pill to swallow but that's how it is.

Say's a failed DZ Manager and TM at a tiny DZ, who has as their defining credential the ability to wear the same color clothes as everyone else and sleep where they are told on demand. Thanks for the news and, even more, the affirmation of your uncontrollable need to convey it. There is a term for it, if you are interested.
