  1. I would be ok to help cruise lines if their ships were requisitioned as hospital ships
  2. never had the chance to shoot with one. Maybe some day...
  3. it seems to me that he is mistaken pretty often, as I wouldn't dare call a president a liar.

    that article says the Swiss are disciplined and whatever good people who do whatever they are told ... Illusion. We are as stupid as the rest. In my family we are distancing, shopping if possible for the week for necessary stuff, but we see lots of products missing in the shops (toilet paper for one, but we already had enough prior to the outbreak... must have a 2-3 weeks stock for a family of 5) as some people do a lot of panic buying. Luckily the shops re-stock regularly, but if you are late shopping, what you want will be missing. In my area, lots of small shops/butchers/vegetable shops etc have developed a pre/order+pre/pay system, so you go and pickup your order without contact, which is good, because you have better quality, often at a better price than in a supermarket. And we are mobilising parts of the army to help out, for now only/mostly medical troops. Waiting for the government to allow "older" guys like me to join again. In the meantime, lots of people do not want to play by the recommendations and still go out, travel, hike and stuff.. I love the nature, I love to have fun in the "great wide open", reason why I limit myself to be able to enjoy the "Full Size Life" as soon as possible.
  5. This is a MAJOR NO-NO. You might not be aware yet on how the situation is degrading in Europe. Nobody is going to visit you at home. But you could maybe find someone who would do a video course....
  6. Hey you, out there in the cold getting lonely, getting old, Can you feel me ?

    I believe that whatever action we are trying to take is good, but not enough. Most "democracies" are trying first and foremost to try and not crash the economy too much. This will kill LOTS more rather than HARD decisions. I really wish some stronger orders would be pushed on us here in Switzerland. This is a total mindfuck. Difficult to push wartime decisions on people who do not understand they are under siege. We need strict confinement, regular testing, and federal feeding for those who cannot grow their own food. This will be the only way (I believe) to calm down the progression of the virus and help the medical system cope with the full hands they already have until someone finds a cure for this shit. We are seeing our neighbour Italy having each day a new record of deaths per 24Hours, and all others for the moment ramping up on contamination cases. Brace for impact, the wave is huge. Love you all
  8. what would happen if health safety does not allow for an election ? (serious question)

    In the news over here : Europeans are surprised that the biggest increase in sales in the US is... Guns & Ammo... 'Cause you need to protect yourself... Proof that we live in different realities, and civilisation has different meanings across the world. YAY for preppers

    well this is a smart idea. For once. using cross competence of the industry for the production of necessary (and vital) goods. It has worked in wartime, it could work (or would be worth trying) in this war against this virus. This and total lockdown for non VITAL activity.

  14. I believe that with 500$, you will not go very far... To the original poster, remember that nothing is impossible, but you need some background. Remember Yves was, prior to being Jetman : military jet pilot on several planes, airline pilot, skydiver (multi discipline, including skysurfing and wing suiting), hangglider and paraglider pilot, all-round "adventure type", has good mechanical knowledge from his initial formation prior to being a pilot. Some will say he is not a "very good" skydiver, and he will say the same, but he has seen lots of different stuff, can understand stuff, knows what he doesn't now, and is always willing to learn and ponder. Of the other Jetman, Vince and Fred, they were world champions in free flying several times, accomplished wingsuiters, BASE jumpers, true athletes, who think ahead, plan jumps and jump plans. Other people involved in the projects (as there are different projects), have different backgrounds, but each can bring something. So if you believe you have anything to offer, feel free to share or contact them . The worse answer you could get is a "THANKS, BUT NO THANKS".
  15. Can you post photos/video ? I have a hard time visualising your issue.
  16. The well regulated militia part which seems to have been forgotten?
  17. Don Jong Trump like. Maybe Zimbabwe should send observers to supervise your elections
  18. So more or less half the people in the country are ok with this omnipotence, almost a dicktraitorship ?
  19. Will there be another Republican candidate, or will donald trump be the only one?
  20. and also it will modify your center of gravity, and limit your ability to arch. Pretty serious arch man, congratulations. As mentioned above, I am also jealous of that one. I still feel pretty young, and am rather thin, but flexible like an ironing board. keep on like that, have fun, you are just at the beginning of an adventure.
  21. Get back to the news. There is a big comeback of these guys in southern Syria and western Iraq
