    You don't seem to be the kind of man who worries all that much about sounding ridiculous. Judging by some of the positions you espouse that is.

    Are you independently wealthy? I'm pretty sure that is a prerequisite.

    That might be slightly longer than average, but in the ball park. There are several reasons people tend to open higher than they used to. This is one of them.

    I see this argument all the time. The majority in the Senate is blocking things they don't agree with. I'm not liking it because most of what they are blocking is stuff I agree with. But that is not the same as "not doing their job". It is using the power that the constitution gives them. When you have the ball you play offense, when the other team has the ball you play defense.

    After watching the video I would call this a non-issue. First of all you have to stand in front of the yoke and pull in an unnatural direction to make it happen. Secondly the rig does not actually come off the ground, the back of it just lifts a little, and you have to pull carefully and slow to make it happen. Your P?C generates about 70 lbs of pull force at terminal. That said, it should be easy to tell if it is having a real effect at deployment time. If it is catching, the 30 jumps or so you have done will be enough to show some friction wear either on the bridle or the tape on the flap. If there is damage happening at these points I would contact RI about it.

    Well of course it is. Global warming ended in 1998. But don't worry your pretty little head about such things. The adults will do everything they can to keep you safe while you ignore the obvious.

    From there: Including 2020, the linear rate of decline for January ice extent is 3.15 percent per decade. This corresponds to a trend of 45,400 square kilometers (17,500 square miles) per year, which is roughly twice the size of the state of New Hampshire. Over the 42-year satellite record, the Arctic has lost about 1.86 million square kilometers (718,000 square miles) of ice in January, based on the difference in linear trend values in 2020 and 1979. This is an area larger than the state of Alaska.

    Not likely I'm going to spending money supporting someone cashing in on the Q con job. There's one born every minute though, so enjoy yourself and your fantasy Ron.

    You may have heard of what can happen if you bring a knife to a gun fight.
  10. gowlerk
    People say that, it must be true. But I can't find it anywhere so thanks for the information.
  11. gowlerk
    Yes, but it does not compute.
  12. gowlerk
    How is this a topic for discussion?
  13. gowlerk
    Huh? Your fear of Hillary is as irrational as your tolerance of Trump.
  14. gowlerk
    I think that is just an R wet dream!
  15. gowlerk
    Yup.

    Is he gone? I blocked him over a year ago.
  17. gowlerk
    Wouldn't that lead to the possibility of successful 3rd party candidacies? You can't be taking a chance on that, now can you?

    Besides the obvious, she was a tireless hard working figure in the opposition to the huge immoral error that was the American involvement in Vietnam, she still is an active protester who still regularly puts herself out there to be arrested. Many people find her to be an inspiration. Many people find her to be someone to hate. She fits in very well to the Kent State massacre vibe. Which is still an event that divides and stirs emotions.

    All lines should be in the centre as much as possible. The outside lines are more difficult to place completely in the centre because they are sewn to the stabilizers. So yes, they will often wander off a little bit. On a 7 cell canopy shaped like a Spectre there will be 8 each of A,B,C,and D lines. Four go to one side and four to the other. It is acceptable to let the outside lines be a little outside.

    Yes he did. He went to junior high school in the same place as me and formed his first band here.

    Looking for opinions? In my opinion it is not worth the trouble. That should have no bearing on YOUR decision though. Also in my opinion it will increase the resale value. And possibly make it easier to sell.

    I sat through the whole thing. I learned nothing from it. Edit, Please send me the secret code.

    Let me open the discussion by saying that neither of those names mean anything to me. Is he an opra singer and you can't spell opera?

    You were actually parroting Geddy Lee. Peart just wrote the line, you've never heard him say it.
