  1. Skydivers get very emotional about AADs.
  2. Yes, but you need them in OH, not CA!
  3. And the Holy Church of Climatism according to some here.
  4. At using the media to her advantage when trying to achieve a goal. Not only is she better, but her goal is many times better.
  5. She sure is bringing attention to her cause. She's getting to be even better than Trump!
  6. I think you are reading more than what was intended into both his and my comment. All he, and I, are saying is that a one to two year battery life is far less than what the market is used to. Df8m1 has addressed that very well, especially in stating that the battery will be a commercially available product as well as being field replaceable.
  7. The MarS M2 battery is said by the manufacturer to be good for 15 years or 15,000 jumps. Whichever comes first. I am unaware of any published jump # life for Airtec or AAD, but a new CYPRES no longer needs to be sent for service and it's lifetime is 15.5 years. A Vigil battery is good for 10 years. So although I don't know where he came up with 10,000 jump life his point is valid. And of course Df8m1 is also correct. This will be a niche product, if and when it arrives, it will not be for the average jumper. It is an offshoot of a product designed for military use. It would never have a chance of getting to the sport market without it's costs of development being offset by the potential sales into the far larger government funded market.
  8. You will have company when the time comes.
  9. Indeed they do. Several parties from far right, through moderate and liberal. Including one dominated by the church.
  10. WA and CA have even better open blanket primaries, as I'm sure you know.
  11. Is there a democracy in the world that does not operate on a party system? I can show examples of city and local politics that don't officially have party systems. But the people in them still belong to national parties for the most part.
  12. From my perspective they are attempting to protect themselves from the poisonous and corrupt effects of power in the hands of priests, imams, rabbis, and evangelist preacher types. Are you sure you are not angry and perhaps hateful over this?
  13. And no cars driven into crowds. Heather Heyer would have enjoyed it.
  14. That is not the theory of the uni (one) verse. That is one theory of a multiverse. No one understands infinity correctly. It is beyond comprehension.
  15. As long as you are not dark skinned that is.
  16. Maybe in the end. But you will suffer first. I've heard a large quantity of ethyl alcohol can make it easier.
  17. If it doesn't work out here they could always go to America. He has an anchor wife......
  18. Not unless you have a trophy wife as well.
  19. Not here though, we don't have those emojis so we'll be alright.
  20. Kind of like switching from burning coal and oil to using wind and solar for electricity. It can make your whole system turn green.
  21. I have a US based source for these things. I don't search for them, they are collected for me. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.
  22. Pretty nice looking soy patty there. I hope your colon is okay.
  23. So, a search of the world news brought you two incidents one over a year old and one over a month old. And that's fine, but I do want you to note that I never post one that is more than a week old and usually only a couple days. America provides me with a very generous supply of this stuff.
