A 60 second freefall on a day when the upper winds are strong can easily move you that far. It's called freefall drift. Your instructors should be teaching you spotting skills, but they are often neglected at larger turbine DZs where the pilot basically does all the spotting using GPS.

Always open to interpretation by the courts. Just like the freedom to choose.

We do it in Canada. I believe it has an effect. I know for sure it pisses off gun lovers here.

That is one of the ways young girls end up deciding to go through a vegetarian phase. Lasted about 10 years for mine. She saw a butcher shop with hanging sides of beef.

The battle against feral hogs in America has nothing on the Great Australian Emu War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

America, the wild west. Everyone needs a weapon because you never know when you may get "the angers" and feel like shooting someone. Anyone.... https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/crime_police/article_cae700c4-b86c-11e9-9f27-dff771536d92.html?utm_content=bufferb953d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Not entirely an accident. She was angry enough to shoot someone, but not her husband. (she claims) https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/08/us/alabama-road-rage-trnd/?iid=ob_article_footer_expansion

You should ask NZ Aerosports. They would deal with this on a daily basis. -
I don't know what the legal name is. Here is their "about" page. https://www.prageru.com/about/ Prager University is not an accredited academic institution and does not offer certifications or diplomas. But it is a place where you are free to learn.
-
So, I had to research "Praeger University". Which turns out to be not a school of any sort, but a right wing Utube video factory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PragerU

The experience of the rest of the western world shows that is incorrect. Sure, premeditated murders may not decrease. But most killings are spur of the moment crimes involving anger. Having a killing machine handy makes it just too easy to take care of the problem with a minimum of time to think and cool down.
-
As I said earlier, American society and law does not allow for common sense solutions. Your demand and belief that the 2nd amendment is a good thing does not allow for common sense. Your society is fixated on it's love of your beautiful powerful killing machines. And so you make ridiculous arguments why they are needed. The absolute silliest being that somehow an armed public will protect you from your government.
-
Or, just maybe your desire for no restrictions on killing machine ownership rights is very hard to defend in a reasonable way. Which causes you to get frustrated.
-
Assault rifles and mass shootings are only a small and very visible portion of the problems caused by America's obsession with killing machines. But you may as well start somewhere. Those who would claim that controlling those types of weapons is just the beginning of a larger effort to remove more and more killing machine rights? Well, they are correct, it is. Good luck, I have no real answers to the problem, but I sure see the problem.
-
If you believe this then you have not looked at accident statistics and the relentless push to lower them. The number of fatalities per mile has been cut in half several times over in the past decades and the effort is continuing.
-
Seriously Ron, do you make it a policy in your life to never apply your critical thinking skills to obvious stuff like this? Or are you trolling us again? It's very frustrating to never know. Are you a master or a fool? I never know.

Everyone is racist, it’s human nature. It’s your behaviour that matters. Mama always said, racist is as racist does. Trump is racist and worse is that he encourages racism in his followers as a way to maintain his power.

The title of the thread is deceptive. The man is not losing his religion. He is merely renouncing one denomination that he was previously affiliated with. I’m fairly certain he still believes.

Even Governor Inslee agrees that he is not a Senator.

Without context I can not say if you are right or wrong.But I would only use that opener with a someone I had a relationship with outside of email or just business.

Well, people have been doing bandit balloon jumps with base rigs for years. None of them have been BASE jumps and neither are these Heli-Skydives.
-
Just teasing about the "rich kid" thing. But seriously, the question you are asking can't be serious. You know it is not a BASE jump.
-
A bunch of rich kids too lazy to climb. Therefore not a BASE jump. Also posted in the DZ forums because it would just get laughed at in the BASE forums.

Exactly, I approve of this post!!!!!!! (But not on behalf of all Canadians)
