We aren't questioning his social skills and ability to get along with others skydivers. We are evaluating the words in his posts and the worldview he expresses here. I'm assuming we are all okay and are all successful contributing members of society. Even the ones you and I block. Which does not include Winsor BTW. Even so, apparently you can never know when a billyvance may in in our midst.

Nylon will not degrade for a very long time. I suppose it could be incinerated, but the gasses produced would be quite toxic. I'm not aware of any recycling done. We don't reuse it it when all that webbing, Cordura and fabric becomes becomes obsolete or out of fashion. I believe the government should mandate that we revert to using cotton, linen and silk.

Thanks

When I have an answer I am not afraid to say so, that’s true. But many of the subjects that come up in this forum do not have answers. Only opinions. I will sometimes give an opinion, but only once. When the thread turns into the same points over and over, and especially when it turns to matters of faith, I find it quite pointless. I reserve the right to jump in with one liners when I feel like it even if it annoys you. Perhaps others object but only you complain. I can live with that.

Good grief, I hope to never feel especially serious. Especially here. Actually what I try to do is keep it light on top with a more serious undertone. It's not that I don't care, it's that I only have the questions not the answers.

At sea and wet eyes? That might explain why you seem to be getting a little salty lately.

The enviro-nazis forced that on us a couple years ago here. Re-usable bags get filthy. During Covid the stores didn't know what to do. Cashiers were not allowed to touch them. I now have to buy plastic garbage bags instead of repurposing grocery bags. And don't get me started on paper straws at takeout restaurants.

Countries almost never break up peacefully. The problem was the south wasn't strong enough to pull it off. And it still isn't.

I think of it as mere common sense.
-
There was nothing interesting in either one you two's posts. Coreece was making no sense and you were mostly just rude.

It must need a hard re-boot. Or a couple hammer strikes.

I can’t be sure what you mean by “the electric motor is dying “ but it’s hard to imagine that the computer monitoring it would not let a reasonably careful buyer be aware of any problem like that.

The Continent’s Consensus on Climate?……Crumbling
gowlerk replied to brenthutch's topic in Speakers Corner
Yup. The planet will be just fine with or without more or less billions of us. The planet could not care less. If it gets warmer and wetter for a million years or so until the changes we have wrought are balanced out does not matter. Party on Brent. -
It worked when John Kerry got Swift Boated as well.

Back to context Joe. They are just people in more ways than not. They aren't aliens. Skydivers and police officers have more in common than not. But back to the subject at hand. The FOP have a posistion that the rioters need to be prosecuted. They endorsed Trump in 2020 based on his policies which as I said are to give police more slack to do whatever they want. And that is why they don't seem to care as much about what the rioters did to their members as you think they should. And don't forget that there were several LOs on that day who were not innocent of turning a blind eye. Cops tend to be on the right wing of society and it is in no way surprising that they tend to support Trump over nearly any Democrat.

This is something completely missing from politics in Canada. We have almost no reporting on what the children of our leaders do that might be embarrassing to their parents. It's almost as though it is somehow irrelevant.
-
Nice job of completely ignoring the context and meaning of a single sentence Joe. You should consider a second career in politics.
-
Okay Boomer.

Josh Hawley crazy? Edit...That decision will not be made until after the election. If Trump becomes POTUS again his endorsement will probably be the deciding factor and he is known to favour Rick Scott. . If Biden wins it will probably go to one of the current more senior leaders. The most important thing is will he (and it will be a he) be the majority or the minority leader.

He is not resigning his Senate seat. Only the leadership. His term is not expiring and there will be no special election unless he dies or serves it out.

Obviously as a woman you do not understand the nature of a pissing contest and the need of a man to get the last squirt in.

If a usable STC for a diesel engine was available for our 182s we would probably switch. It may not happen though because the type is already kind of nose heavy.

BYD has recently said that they are not even considering entering the US market. A large reason for that is probably that imported EVs are not eligible for any US subsidies. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/video/byd-not-interested-united-states-182445977.html

I'll bet it's set up so the tilt function can be cheated.

I may be nibbling around the edges of the bait a bit.
