It is generally not ever possible to get that many jumps at a one Cessna DZ anywhere. (unless you are an instructor) You obviously are used to jumping only at a large market turbine DZ. There is a whole world of frustration and great new people out there waiting for you to meet. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

You've done a good job of pointing out greater evils than Trump. Indeed, he is more of a dotard than a devil. Trumps has done some things that many would consider evil. Much more than most of us have. But overall his evil is small time...so far. Calling people snowflakes undercuts your point.

That's a little like saying the victims on the ground did not die in the plane crash because they were not on the plane. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Evil is hard to define, isn't it? One man's evil doer is another man's hero. My vote for most evil POTUS in history goes to Andrew Jackson for his illegal and immoral forced removal of American natives resulting in the trail of tears. Nowadays we call this "ethic cleansing". It borders on genocide. Evil is as evil does. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Here is a story quoting the NK foreign minister stating that he feels sorry for Trump's aides after his recent UN speech. The world is standing on it's head. He is making more sense than the POTUS. Beyond sad. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/21/politics/north-korea-donald-trump-united-nations/index.html Although I do disagree with the "barking dog" comparison.

That's been predicted many times. So far, a complete bust. But as long as people can say there is a future, the rapture can be looked forward to I guess.

Be confused no more: Christians understand that we are cursed. We took our freewill and wasted it. Humans fuck everything up one way or another. Feel good stories about angels make our eyes roll, while evil stories about vampires are sexy cool! We are all enemies of God. Didn't you ever learn that in Sunday school? "Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them." What a dismal viewpoint. No wonder you have such a low opinion of women. I see where you get you paternalistic and misogynist ideas from now. You should be aware that there are many denominations that call themselves Christian who take a different view if mankind. Maybe it would do you some good. I did not realize the level of self hate western religion is based on for some people. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

This is not about the evaporation rate thing in dispute here but in general. Lately I have seen a lot of press mentions about global warming related to the recent weather events. And I do believe it is undercutting the real science. There MAY be an intensification of these storms. But the sources I have read that are credible go no further than that. In the meantime, many news outlets seem to feel it is their duty to inform the public that these events are a direct result of AWG. This is typical sensationalism and it will hurt, not help in changing minds. Because the simple fact is that it can not be proven. There are plenty of provable signs of warming. We need to be careful to stick to using them as our arguments and not to be tempted to jump on the band wagon over transient weather event when discussing climate. And for the record, billvon is usually correct when he gets into the numbers. But even if he has misinterpreted something here, warmer water evaporates quicker, and warmer air can hold more water. That no one can deny. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Perhaps a little more complex than that, as the North invaded the South Jun 25, 1950. The USSR exploded a nuke 10 months earlier - August 29, 1949. sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDS-1 Double the reason to take Stalin's forces out. They were still early in the program. Support of the NK invasion would have provided a perfect reason for a pre-emptive strike. Opportunity squandered just like Billy boy did when he could have taken out the middle Kim. And don't get me started on BHO's missed chances. All the time crowing about getting Bin Laden while NK was enriching uranium. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

The whole Korean debacle is the fault of weak kneed Democrat party presidents not standing up like men. Mostly Truman. Who accepted the division of the peninsula in the first place. And then failed to nuke China and Russia when they supported the North's invasion of the South. By the time Eisenhower took over it was too late. Russia had the bomb too. On a side note, the NKs are tough as hell. The USAF dropped enough bombs on them to destroy about 85% of their existing buildings. The death toll was enormous. And they have not forgotten. Not even a little. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

There are basically two styles of container to choose from. (not counting Racer, which is actually a third concept). The fully enclosed reserve pilot chute and the semi exposed pilot chute. The Javelin is of the second type, and that "freaking giant circle thing" is the cap on the reserve pilot chute. It is actually under the reserve flaps and not the main flaps. Wings, Glides, Vortex are other examples. The first type is the fully enclosed type. Mirage, Vector, Talon, and many others are examples. It's a little like buying a car. The style and marketing often are more important than the engineering. Mostly because we can understand style so much better than we understand technical details. The other thing that matters is service and support. Of all the choices out there the Sunpath Javelin and the UPT Vector have the best support. It's your money. Buy something that you will be happy to own and wear. Mirages look and are built awesome. They are not a bad choice, just not my first choice for the reason I stated. I'm a rigger and I deal with servicing these things, so I get exposed to problems as they occur. Your average Mirage owner is usually very happy with them. There are arguments for and against both, but both have proven themselves to be safe effective designs over many years. That said, you probably should not buy a container with a design that "bugs" you. I prefer to give general guidance rather than firm recommendations in situations like this. It encourages learning. But with that said, the advice betzilla just gave a few minutes ago is pretty darn solid. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

And any from before 1997 are not then. When will the company be sold yet again and have new owners who once again disavow any responsibility for the product? That's crap. You can get parts and service and info for older Javelins, Vectors, Talons, Racers etc. For some reason the owner of Mirage thought that once he acquired the tso that was all he needed from the company. Just cut the old customers loose. We don't need them, we can get new ones. Why would anyone take a chance on a buying a product from someone who would do that? Mirages are very nice rigs. Even the older non supported ones. But I would never buy one or recommend one to anyone. Service matters. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Hate crimes happen most often where haters rub up close to the people they hate. Which is of course mostly in cities. Some societies have tried apartheid type policies as a way to harness the hatred and turn it into suppression of the hated. America seems to be trying to deal with it straight on at this point. Or at least, most of America is. Others choose to shelter in place and avoid dealing with the people they hate. The bastions of liberal progressiveness point the way to the future of your society. Your cloistered haven points toward the past. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Wow! Nice catch. I don't see Mirage advertising that. I couldn't even find that until I googled and found it way down hidden in a long list of FAQs in tiny print. That is NOT IN THE MANUALS as far as I can tell. I couldn't find it in the sections on packing the Trap, or Limited Life Components, or Inspections. Nor is it part of their News at their web site -- Creating a life limit for a component of the harness is big news! (So, if it isn't in a manual, or an official bulletin, what weight does it have legally? I'm tired of the B.S. about following manufacturers' instructions when they hide stuff here and there, so that the only technically legal way to pack a reserve is to look at every page of their entire web site every repack.) Sending a whole container back to the manufacturer is a big pain, especially for those away from the United States. Mirage's wording doesn't even technically allow for packing without the Trap, so if you have mal #3 (non-total) at a boogie you are screwed, even if you find your freebag and keep your handles. (Or send it in during the off-season after 2 uses..) The "3 uses then inspection" wouldn't be a bother for most people, but I have a swooper as a rigging customer who would have had to send such a rig in twice in the last 10 years. Thanks for spotting that Peter. This is a good example of the laxness in maintaining adequate manuals found in smaller gear companies in general. As far as I'm concerned, if it is not in the manual or an SB it is not real. As much as I like Mirage containers I would not buy or recommend one because of the lack of support they offer. I know people who have needed information for older Mirages and have been told that "that was made before we bought the company and we can't help you". They don't support their products all that well. It's difficult for small companies in this industry. They also recently stated they don't have the resources to maintain and update their website properly. They make a very nice product, but they could easily close up shop at any time. Buyer beware. I advise people to stick with the larger makers these days. Generally the ones that also do a lot of military business and therefore have more staying power. That said, I still like both the Mirage and the trap System. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

It is relatively new. It is made of nylon, not metal. They think it is rugged enough, but just to be sure they would like to inspect it if you ever get up to three cutaways. That could be three jumps from now or 30 years from now, who knows? I would not hesitate to choose a Mirage if that was the container I wanted over this small matter.

I voted yes. But I do not feel he is completely evil. If there is any such thing. I really believe that he has tendencies toward do selfish things, and that leads him to do evil acts.
