Are all those nations in the USA “sphere of influence “? (I realize your point was unrelated)

Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers
gowlerk replied to Phil1111's topic in Speakers Corner
There’s a lesson for Canada in this. One day when the United States falls to a right wing dictatorship we are going to wish we had nuclear weapons. -
What part of the constitution or Bill of Rights speaks of responsibilities?

How Putinesque of you.

She has also taken a stab at leading a separatist movement that would like to see the three prairie provinces form a nation.

I've never heard of the Whole Foods to Cracker Barrel ratio before. Is it also a voting pattern indicator? Edit, Good Grief!!!! I Googled it and ....it is. https://noah-ford.com/cracker-barrel-whole-foods-presidential-2020 I don't really get it though. I like Cracker Barrel but I've never been to Whole Foods and don't even like the concept. Obviously I don't vote in US elections. But I have never voted for a conservative in my life.

Around here first nations women picking wild blueberries wear bells to alert the bears. I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing. But there are no grizzlies in the area.

The number 2 comes mind. It's sort of like potty humour. The amendment is a piece of shit.

Could you put that into an easy to understand meme for the simple people here?
-
There you go, as I said I'm no expert. But there are experts here. Is there a requirement that approved materials are used?
-
TSO testing is kind of useless as you state. The real value to the TSO system is the requirement for maintaining manufacturing standards and traceability of materials. There is also a procedure for bringing design flaws to the attention of the FAA, and the manufacturer. One that does not involve accusations and angry claims on social media.

That is my understanding. That most of the new containers that we now jump are incremental upgrades and are still approved under approvals granted many years ago. I am not an expert on this and there are probably exceptions, but it is generally true.

boodacious double mal (making the rounds on media)
gowlerk replied to SethInMI's topic in Safety and Training
Old discussion for sure. I'm going to go with the possible two out and save the cutaway decision for later. -
Not exactly an accident. "Good guy with a gun" screws up big time. 9 year old girl dies. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/19/us/houston-parents-describe-shooting-of-arlene-alvarez/index.html

More than a little impractical, but what the hell? I wonder if they are "arms" under the 2nd?

There is a reason container systems are TSOed with drop testing and not static testing. Of course the Talon TSO was issued many years ago and probably was tested with velcro riser covers. The scenario with a total mal where the reserve risers need to pop the covers will always be high speed. The RI rpc with a nearly 3 ft long spring is a very high drag piece of equipment. The force generated is much more than that used in the video. I'm sure that by now Sandy, who is retired from the business is aware of this thread. He has come under personal attack by a man who is in a business dispute with him. Since it is unlikely that Sandy is going to dignify this with any sort of reply, which he absolutely should not do, I feel someone should point this out. There are not as many Curvs in the marketplace as some of the other brands. But there are many nonetheless. If there has been a problem in the field with riser covers not opening on reserve rides we would have heard of it by now. This whole thing just reeks of petty jealousy. Vive la France!

Kim Potter was sentenced to 2 years this morning. Seems to me to be the most reasonable outcome available. I'm sure some others will disagree. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2022/02/18/judge-to-sentence-former-officer-kimberly-potter-friday-in-the-killing-of-daunte-wright

Eric has been going after both Aerodyne and more recently RI over his anger about a patent dispute for several years. He is not a disinterested party, he is a man looking for revenge and he is attempting to get it by smearing the companies and people he is angry at.
-
Yes, it was very popular with everyone under something around 40 years old. The people who didn't like it for the most part simply don't care for that style of music. Turning into a race thing is incorrect. White America has long embraced POC in music and entertainment.

That's because I don't have an agenda. I'm just commenting on what is going on and the arc it seems to be following.
-
Isn't he the angry guy who keeps complaining that he invented a MARD and it was stolen from him?
-
I see. I know Sandy a little. I would say that this post says more about you than it does about him. But I guess you are on a mission of some sort.
-
So, what does this show and what is worse? Riser covers that don't release till later in the reserve deployment sequence or riser covers that don't stay closed during high speed skydives? And why do so many irrelevant static tabletop faux problems seem to be popping up here, almost exclusively from France? This is a non issue.

Do you seriously think we have not already heard of the long debunked "Great barrington Deception". Are you in the grips of other conspiracy theories or just ones about Covid?
