gowlerk replied to turtlespeed's topic in Speakers Corner
The whole hole thing? It is my belief that many people manage to have fun in ways you do not approve of and still stay safe. I'm not sure why you would think that some kinds of sex are clean and safe while others are dirty and dangerous. But you should know that harmful microbes can be found in any body cavity. God made us that way. -

Coreeece Seems to fancy himself to be a “man’s man”, As well as a somewhat recovering Christian. Mostly he seems to be trying, but he doesn’t always hide his tendency toward misogyny and homophobia. None of us can be perfect. -
Trump exposes both the weaknesses of American democracy, and its strengths. It’s hard to conceive of a greater test then the last four years.

They do. I don't get it. -
A 2 yo used a stray killing machine on himself. https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/2-year-old-boy-dies-after-accidentally-shooting-himself-sc-officials-say/JBHXEDLPDFCSJDRDCUIMYYOMPY/

As others have pointed out, that would be because the DC mayor does not have the authority to force them. And yes, there is a ton of hypocrisy involved. It is the hypocrisy of DC residents having no real representation in the legislative branch of the federal government.

You are confusing camo with brown shirts.

The NFAC or "Not Fucking Around Committee" put on a second amendment demonstration in Louisville today. Three people were injured and sent to hospital when one of their firearms discharged. I Am Not Fucking Kidding. Yes, this did happen and the video is at the link. https://www.wave3.com/2020/07/25/victims-sent-hospital-after-guns-discharges-during-nfac-demonstration-baxter-square-park/?fbclid=IwAR3PUlsMsmrywpGpuVaCI_sjO5py8FsB9s-b2_BYyXXVWHwNVCJc2_bAZiM

Awesome.

It is dangerous to leave loaded killing machines where 3 year olds can find them. The God of the 2nd amendment claimed another young angel yesterday. https://breaking911.com/3-year-old-s-c-boy-fatally-shoots-himself-deputies/

How experienced fun jumper needs to be to jump around tandem?
gowlerk replied to CoolBeans's topic in Tandem Skydiving
But that is not relevant to the subject here. The question is about a new lower time jumper lurking a tandem. Several things can and have gone bad in that situation. A normal tandem is not complicated. The decision tree and potential for things to go wrong make the possible EPs on a tandem jump extremely complicated. -
Stone had his sentence commuted. She is not even going to trial till summer of 2021. Long after Trump is defeated and the rats flee his ship.

Q is mostly an online social support group for people who are powerless but want to believe they are insiders. It is a way for them to mitigate their fear. I have no fear of Q or it's believers. I only have pity for fools.

In aviation every aircraft altimeter is set to measure MSL altitude. It's pretty clear that your new pilot missed the part of the training where he should have learned that his job is to take skydivers to their assigned altitude above ground level. Mostly they do the math to figure out what that is in MSL altitude.

So how is your DZ handling the virus?
gowlerk replied to Westerly's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Around here in Manitoba we have very little Covid-19 currently. It is only online that I have seen people talking about "bullshit", in person no one here is speaking openly like that. We are wearing masks in the buildings and in the airplane. Compliance is not 100%, but we remind each other and try. Most of us know that there is little danger at the moment, but that the picture could change quickly. Our management team knows that social distancing and skydiving, particularly tandem skydiving, are not compatible. We are fully prepared and willing to cease operations if there is a case of Covid-19 among our key personnel or customers that appears likely to cause any spread. We consider ourselves very lucky to be in a place with almost no problem now. We realize that only by being vigilant is there a chance it will stay that way. -
Me too, but your people do and they will get the word out to you through the Q network.

Fox News will be telling your people what to think about this later today probably.

We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

I did no such thing. I merely commented on your comment. It can be hard to keep track of who posted what upstream in this forum.

I've been busy lately. But I decided I needed to take some time to remember the children. https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/07/20/arlington-texas-3-year-old-killed-apparent-accidental-shooting-family-member/ https://www.kark.com/news/local-news/12-year-old-shot-early-sunday-morning-at-residence-inn-in-little-rock/

Trump clearly goes out of his way to make people angry at him. It is the main way he appeals to his base. That much is easy to understand. What is hard to understand is why anyone would be surprised that it actually works. People are angry at Trump. Duh....

This is how you use kids as a political weapon.

According to the theory of evolution it is quite clear that Han Chinese are the most successful people on the planet. -
But starting off with easier simpler dives than where you were when you last jumped. By recognizing sensible limits and re-learning old skill. In some cases it may involve formal instruction and/or coaching. But mostly it's just common sense.

Fox news has a far reach. I never watch it, and rarely watch any TV at all. All the same the time I spend here and on other social media informs me of much of what Fox news is saying. You should not assume that anyone in particular is watching it just because they comment about it. We are all mostly aware of what it is.
