  1. The president says he represents Pittsburgh, not Paris. Pittsburgh's mayor isn't happy. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2017/06/trump-pittsburgh-wrong Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. Speaking as someone on the outside looking in, the world has always seen the US this way. It has always acted in it's best interest first. As well it should. There is nothing new about "America First". The only real difference now is the extremely short term view of what America's best interest is.

    Sorry, explain what part? If you mean about being too heavy I was not speaking of you. I meant Keith is too heavy. Ravens should not be loaded much beyond their rating. A Raven II is rated for about 220 lbs. (I don't remember exactly) . Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. Hey Marc, just wondering here. You do realize that "jumping the shark" does not involve anyone riding on a shark, right? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jump%20the%20shark Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    I've got one with a Raven 2 in it. One with Spectra lines. It fit with no problem at all. But if it's for you to jump, the Raven is no good. You are too heavy for it. You'd be better off with a PD193R, or a 218 Optimum. 190 9cell ZP mains fit as well. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. Same as many Americans. They were not as much pro Trump as anti Clinton. In a democracy the people get the leaders they deserve! Too bad America does not use a democratic process to choose it's president. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. The whole thing is more than a little fishy. Apparently the info comes from the Russians? How the hell does anyone know what Kislyak reported to his superiors? And if anyone does, how the hell does this capability to know something like that get to a newspaper? This looks like more than a mere leak. This is an attempt to use very classified info to take down Kushner. It maybe justified, but this is serious stuff. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  10. What if the DoJ through Mueller prosecutes him? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. Oh, I know they don't care. But he can't keep his security clearance if he did that, can he? That would be pretty messed up. Would there not be a law against such a thing? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. If that turns out to be true Kushner will be finished. Along with his security clearance. And possibly Trumps's last hope of having an effective term. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. He probably will not run again. I'm guessing Congress will be a pretty boring place for an high tech millionaire. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. I only go back to '92. Back then several people at the DZ had Racers and they were considered to be very good equipment. Except for the RSL. Everyone back then knew that Racers were fine, but for some reason they had this ultra stupid RSL design. So everyone disconnected them. All the riggers said so then. And it is still true. Except maybe today you would say "uber" stupid instead! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. You are completely wrong. The proper order is for the leader of Canada to be first. I know because God told me. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. Let me try. Racer fans do this quite often. Instead of defending this flawed design they say "what about the other guy". Over and over again. That is simply changing the subject. What should be the last word for this design is a simple "discontinued". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. Skydivers are that stupid. But not pilots. Both pilots MUST have been jumpers too. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And a penis is just a penis. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. I have a few of those. All I can say is, again, Zebra F-301. The Airtec supplied ones do work. But you have to get them started on paper first. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. I'd say arrogance. "You can't tell me who to hire!" And as a reward for loyalty. He did not have that many qualified people with him from start to finish. For some strange reason most of those who did were misfits of one type or another. Flynn probably seemed like a good guy to Trump. Flynn pledged loyalty so he got a job he should not have. Comey, who was not part of the team, would not pledge loyalty so he got fired. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. Since new jumpers are always looking for a good deal it makes no sense at at all to exclude the AAD that offers the lowest price. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. There probably is no such list. If there was, it would quickly become inaccurate as different countries change the rules. Or the person keeping the list made errors. Since everyone else is ignoring your question and telling you the cycle in their county instead of answering you, I may as well add "180 days in Canada".

  23. It is highly unlikely Trump will be impeached. Unless of course, he stumbles and bumbles even more. I predict that he will unofficially abdicate in favour of Ivanka. He will become the Ceremonial President and do public events. Ivanka will run the country. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. By that time Trump will have done enough other crazy things that he will be long gone. For incompetence if nothing else. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  25. So the reserve free bag first pulled on the red rsl lanyard which resulted in disconnecting the left riser and then (after the full cutaway was performed) the rsl lanyard got off the skyhook, otherwise the departing main would just pull on the bridle back and just deploy the reserve? But what does it mean to be "dangling from the skyhook" now that the rsl lanyard is gone? What am I missing? I'm thinking something similar to you. The cutaway should allow either the Skyhook or the P/C to continue deploying the reserve. Or at least raise it above the pair, (who knows what configuration the lines were in by then). But since it was an AAD fire (which should be at around 2 grand) they probably were out of time by then. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.
