    It shouldn't be. That is what insurance is for. You get all your crap stolen and then you get all new crap to replace it with. Renters insurance to cover your own personal stuff is really cheap. Like $15k in coverage is about $20 a month, and it covers most forms of loss. It's really a no-brainer to get. Hopefully the OP finds his stuff. As always you are an expert in another matter you know absolutely nothing about.

    That depends entirely on whether you have a long or a short torso. Some people prefer the longer rig if they lack arm flexibility.

    Nike stock is now at an all time high. https://money.cnn.com/2018/09/14/news/companies/nike-kaepernick/index.html Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    The resistance is getting more and more motivated. The mid-terms are coming. And so are the long drawn out Congressional investigations. But the Mueller probe will probably unearth enough crimes to sink him first. I will enjoy your anger and frustration. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

    Trump's crime will not be "collusion". It will be money laundering. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Ouch. One of my biggest worries. I'd say your best bet is a very splashy social media offer of a decent sized no questions asked reward. They will be nearly impossible to sell. Except maybe overseas.

    Yes, it's manned. I heard him interviewed on NPR. It's an old lighthouse and has been there for many storms. He is not expecting any problem riding it out. That's what it was built to do.

    Right wing snowflakes whining again. Just like the big baby Dotard crying about the press being "unfair". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Now to the tune of 171 fellony emails that have been found on her server. Yes! More we're found just last week. Or her obstruction of justice by deleting email evidence. More empty right wing extremist lies. Please show your sources. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Do you want fancy websites or low priced lift tickets? The business model used there is very unique in the skydiving world. Some people love Lodi and respect it's DZO. Others not so much. You can only find out the truth by going there to see for yourself.

    Unlike you of course. You hate America because it's getting full of American progressive liberals. So you hide out in a small corner of your great country where you feel safe. And can lash out online. But you miss out on the the things that actually make America moderately good. Like good Mexican restaurants.

    Yes, but very few things on h/c s, canopies, or wingsuits are patented. Three rings are not a typical example.

    Cut and paste from the New Yorker. Andy has a good point here. Maybe there is hope..... Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Manufacturing is not testing. Everything everyone makes is based on something someone else made before. We would never make any progress at all and new ideas could not improve on old ones if that were wrong. Seriously, that's what teaching is. Should man invent controlled fire over and over again to stay pure?

    I largely agree Ron. There is nothing here that we did not already know. The revelations of the last two days only provide confirmation of what has been obvious. God Bless America! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Trump can be relied on to sign any legislation that gets to his desk from the Congress. That gives the R party real power that they have not had for a long time. That is all that matters. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's only the lack of 60 Senate votes that keeps them from absolute power. I am relatively sure that Ds would act the same or similar in the same situation. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Resist wear and UV light damage. It is far less likely to break when worn. Line choice is full of compromises. Some, especially larger lightly loaded canopies are less affected by being out of trim.

    There is no doubt about it. Nike is all about Yankee capitalist abuse of poor people labouring in poor countries. It has always been so. It has never had any significant manufacturing in the US. Although it is a Dow 100 listed corporation doing very well and currently engaged in a large scale stock buy back program. There is no reason at all for anyone to admire their ethics or morals. They are now taking sides in the culture wars for marketing reasons only. But they are very clever, they have chosen carefully, and it will work for them. I also don't buy high priced sporting goods just because of branding. Except maybe skydive gear. I generally favour the large name brands because of high resale values. PD, Sunpath, UPT, even though I know the SA products are just as good. Funny how that works.

    How does the "dude at the counter" know what is in the package? He could only know if you talked it up to him. At that point he has no knowledge except for what you have told him. Buy your postage online. Put the thing in the mailbox. Don't go looking for problems and they won't find you. I ship them both by Canada Post and USPS all the time.

    Nike is not just dissing Trump. It's just spit in the face of the NFL owners. Who up to now have been partners. The zeitgeist around the issue has been changed overnight. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
