    Thank you. You totally nailed my point.

    And he may have been correct.
  3. Maybe. But I'll wager that he respects their right to freely infect you.
  4. Seriously, it is scary shit that our society is factionalized by the credulous. Worse is that the simple pointing out of the obvious truth makes no difference to them; they are right where they need to be: in opposition.
  5. And we're all reading that and thinking, holy crap, a 75 year old Christian conspiracy theorist who lives at the end of the road in BF Georgia gets "comms from several covert sources" giving him real time updates on activities in rural Afghanistan and all we have are a fax machine and Bill Maher. That sucks! Such A Beautiful Mind.
  6. For sure you won't need the Pfizer chip to get free 5G through your tin foil hat.
  7. Cheer up Tootsie Roll, SHTF and the party of God has won the day in Afghanistan. There will be no more abortions but lot's of mandatory religious study, heathens will be executed or worse, liberals are in hiding or running for their lives and no one will be taking any guff from the ladies. How can you not be thrilled?
  8. Well that was fast. Were they escorted to the Presidential Palace by the Afghan Army in ex-US Army lorries? At the end of the day it is the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Or was I should qualify, and 99.7% of the population are adherents of Islam. Seems to me they've simply traded an ostensibly enlightened Islam for a darker version. Fine. Peace be with them.
  9. Already the heart string plucking is underway. Yes, the Taliban will make life miserable, and in some cases much shortened, for many. Innocents will die in masses, women will be enslaved, religious ignorance and intolerance will be the order of the day and misery will prevail. By any secular or western standard, conditions in Afghanistan under the Taliban will be beyond awful. The thing is that every Afghan soldier, every Afghan citizen and every Afghan politician knows that truth. If the Afghan citizenry and the Afghan Army aren't ready, able and willing to stand, fight, and die for their freedoms now, so be it.
  10. Sure, but it could have as easily happened if the boy was practice swinging his dads samurai sword or nunchucks.
  11. Parricide by a 4 year old who shot their Mother while she was on a zoom work call. Apparently the kids father didn't secure the gun. It's a terrible tragedy, as always, but at least I know a new word now.
  12. Or team training, or getting instruction. Sometimes 3 rigs are needed for team training because you aren't pulling super high and you want to land with your team mates to talk before the turn. Then also, you just might be jumping smaller mains than you'd otherwise prefer. Same if you've hired a freefly coach. Seems they always are flash canopy pilots, too, so if you are turning loads you need to get down fast to look at video you don't yet understand. On the other hand if you are fun jumping blow off the second rig and spend time with your friends. If time is tight between loads hire a packer. You'll be enough money ahead to tip your DZO at the end of the day.

    covid-19

    There are a couple of people who post here, one with the most easy going nature who will never fail to disarm you with charm and the other an ex-military type who is doing an inspiring job of resocializing, who each needed ICU beds that were fortunately available when needed. I can only imagine the "gosh darn it's" and "I'm killing those MF's" were some simpletons who refused vaccination clogging up the ICU.

    On the bright side, there is a 40% chance it will be an anti-vaxxer's loved one denied medical services owing to the ICU crunch.
  15. What are the stupid reasons imposed by her culture and family?
  16. Thank you. We now know that in the vax or not to vax debate intelligence alone is not determinative.

    Exactly. What will you bet he finds that where religion plays little role in understanding power transmission it plays a big role in other contemplations.

    There must be something in the latitude you drink. Of course masks worn as chin bra's and those with vents don't work. That's long been known. Clearly the lack of quality and consistent information that is now your concern, most definitely, should be your concern.

    It only makes me wonder how you can be taken seriously on any topic. For example, yes, virus particles are itsy bitsy tiny and can pass through masks all by their lonesome. But they aren't just out there, hanging in the air, waiting for you to walk by. They are in water droplets. Hence the utility of masks. Also, your expert ain't one. Seriously Bill, this was bad.
  20. You're only as good as your last July.
  21. It doesn't. You just need to work on your delivery. We know you don't suffer from delusions. For sure, you enjoy every minute.
  22. Methinks thou dost post-est too much.
  23. Well done, Norseman, in your endless effort to take a counter position you can now add opposition to gun laws to your resume.
  24. Now doesn't that just suck. Here I banned myself for two months, ending today, just to get away from your crap and one month was a damn gimme. Arghhh.....
  25. Well, you've come to the right place for advice. The truth is that it is never too soon to start doubting and second guessing ones skydiving instructors.
