Pardon my ignorance. My understanding is that my lever action .22 is not semi-auto. Nor was my bolt action rifle.

It's specifically designed to trigger. Ya gotta love triggers.

I would point out that many D supporters said that Trump was illegitimately elected due to Russian interference. People hate to lose and they hate when their team loses. Rs are just louder about it because it's in their nature to complain.

Probably the same guys who are fascinated by Harris's sex life.

Well then, that didn't work. Those women went for Obama in droves. Karens don't like other Karens, they want the manager.

I wonder how much it will sell for at auction once he recovers it?

Palin was picked to pander to the people who later became known as the deplorables, but are really the more religious and conservative activists who did not really trust McCain because he was too moderate. And she did appeal to them. But she turned off others in a way eerily similar to the way Hilary turned turned off other people. Both scary women.

Do you really think things changed when Biden relieved Trump who relieved Obama who relieved Bush?

Wouldn't ya know it. Both players are Canadian!

Is this the type "wokeness" you are complaining of? https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/23/us/hockey-jacob-panetta-suspended/index.html Is it okay to "cancel" hockey players?

Hi Jerry, nearly all deployment bags for mains are made with urethane coated fabrics. For decades all javelin free bags were made with urethane coated fabrics. All sidewinder free bags are made of the same thing. That’s all I have to say about that.
-
As I intended.
-
Not hardly.
-
I answered as I did because other people read this forum and you alamist feelings on this could influence others for no reason. If you bought a new freebag from Sunpath for an old pre-K container it may be old stock off the shelf and be the same thing.

You say tomato I say tomato.

As you probably guessed by now that would be because there is none required and none available. Other than the third party liability covering property damage that comes along with a USPA membership.
-
Only in the USA has the FAA decided that the accepted worldwide term NOTAM needs to have its meaning updated. You are correct there is no real change and a NOTAM is still a NOTAM.
-
Don't overthink it. The Sunpath freebag works fine, even the older coated ones. The newer ones are the same thing just uncoated. Which mostly helps to make them easier for the rigger to get the canopy into the ears. There is no safety issue here. Let me be very clear on that, despite the OP having "pull pretty hard" there has never been an issue with this and there has never been so much of a hint of it causing a malfunction in all the decades that Sunpath has been making the Javelin. It is just a little thing that riggers sometimes like to bitch about.

This whole thread is supposed to be about a joke, remember? Compromise is how disputes get resolved. Our society is built on compromise. If there were no need for compromise there would be no need for deliberative bodies like courts and congress and such. Compromise is us.
-
Finally a joke. A very sick one but what the hell?
-
Your raving against "wokeism" is so utterly meaningless that it is impossible to argue against. That is why you like the term so much. Instead of debating individual ideas which you could never defend you get to wrap up all your fears and hatreds into a bundle and give it a name. It is so vague that it is nothing more than a shadow.

It probably got left in a hot car trunk or some other warm place. That makes the urethane coating get sticky. Sunpath was not the only manufacturer to use this material. The water proofing aspect was likely seen as a good thing, and it came from the mill that way.
-
Yes, Sunpath had a SB for the red Cordura. Some of it had a very thick coating and it would get very sticky especially if in a warm place. This is a different thing with the coating in the freebag. As far as I know it has never been more than just a nuisance.
-
They have always been made of a white parapack type material with urethane coating on one side, like cordura normally is. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it was just the standard from the textile mill for that particular fabric which is often used where water resistance is important. The thickness of the coating was never consistent and often it was quite sticky. In the the last at least a couple years Sunpath seems to have changed the material to uncoated and the newer bags don't have the problem. I don't think it was ever bad enough to cause a reserve malfunction or anything like that, but it made the job of inserting the reserve into the bag difficult sometimes.
-
I thought that was because of a shortage of yellow vests.
