  1. The last we had one it was easy to tell that the poster was several people working in shifts. The level of English skill would shift from day to day along with the general intelligence of the posts. That was of course during the Russian efforts leading up to the 2016 election. At least one of them had a some knowledge of skydiving though. This poster has not yet shown any that I noticed before I blocked him from my feed. I'm not sure what is going on here now. It is more likely to be a real disgruntled American idiot this time.
  2. A trump supporter who is reduced to coming here and posting garbage as he licks his wounds from losing bigly.

    covid-19

    Corrections Canada started vaccinating some federal prisoners Jan. 8. There was a small ripple of protest I saw on FB, but it died quickly when people started pointing out how vulnerable they and their guards are.
  4. Good practice for competing in mental gymnastics. Fortunately I still see the most prized excerpts of his wisdom without having to read all of it because you and others selectively quote the highlights (meaning lowlights) of his trolls when wasting your time replying to it.
  5. There is no advantage to ZP in a reserve because it is seldom deployed and therefore does not become porous quickly like a main does. On the other hand ZP is difficult to pack as neatly as we like to pack our reserves and it is bulkier which is undesirable.
  6. Precision made a Raven -MZ for a while. It had a ZP topskin only. It was thought that would be a best of both worlds compromise. Also, as you know Ravens were also sold as mains. I have had the distinct displeasure of struggling to pack a Raven -MZ into a couple of reserve containers. I sold one cheap on the internet far away and made the customer who had one get rid of it.
  7. Ted Cruz made up for it by leaving TX and taking his family to Cancun for a holiday while the state is shivering in the dark. https://us.cnn.com/2021/02/18/politics/ted-cruz-cancun-texas-disaster-electricity-power-water/index.html
  8. As I have heard some people say here, don't get your panties in a twist over it. They are just channelling their dead hero Rush. Next you will likely be a cuck. Duck cuck.
  9. Fire risk from EVs is a real and fairly well studied thing. It has been judged overall to be just slightly less risky than the risk from gasoline powered models. It will not become a limiting factor in their adoption and the firefighting community will have to deal with the difference in how they must be fought. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_electric_vehicle_fire_incidents
  10. That driver must have known he was going to get hit and bailed out of the cab quickly. What a dumbass.
  11. Biden lies, but they are being seen more as "errors". Whatever. He has a long way to go to catch up with the former office holder. https://us.cnn.com/2021/02/17/politics/fact-check-biden-cnn-town-hall-anderson-cooper-milwaukee/index.html
  12. Welcome to my ignore list. You will have good company there.
  13. He may be annoying enough to get some attention though. Just like that Limbaugh guy.
  14. Apparently he believes god sent the tribulation to help TX society weed out the weak and unworthy.
  15. They stick them in the back of a closet and forget about them. When they die their children deal with it like all the other crap that needs to be thrown out. There are a few collectors and this is in nice shape, but seriously it is just an old useless obsolete curiosity at this point. And I do know what you mean about hard to throw away. I once had a similar rig pass through my possession. If I remember correctly I sold it for one or two hundred dollars. Probably on Ebay, but possibly on one of the FB skydive gear sites.
  16. Rush may have been sweet as pie in person to those who knew him. And those people may legitimately grieve him. To the world at large he made his living and his calling being a complete fucking asshole. No one should be the least surprised that those he loved to make hate him do hate him and are glad to see him gone. And from what I know of him and his habits a long period of suffering through lung cancer was appropriate.
  17. Paywall, and opening it incognito doesn't work. But I just tried FireFox with Java script disabled and I have it now.
  18. Ya John, you just like to show off your WaPo subscription by posting stories us plebes can't read.
  19. That's why I said the handle came from the hack! Fancy Bear just picked an inactive ID!
  20. Russian troll. Picked up the handle from the Solara hack. Second coming of royreader. .
  21. Well that proves it. I guess you know now. The cat is out of the bag. We are coming for you and your ilk with blood in our eyes. All those extra weapons being sold? Yup. You know now.
  22. Can you supply sources for ANY of that?
  23. Yes, money talks, bullshit walks. Corporate America is betting big on an electric future. Deadenders are posting big claims to an enduring past on internet forums.
  24. It flows into MN all the time. A new line was just completed last year. https://www.hydro.mb.ca/projects/mb_mn_transmission/
  25. We can send you Nelson River hydroelectric power to help keep the above ground portions of your new pipeline working.
