Many years ago your night vision was better. Like all younger people. Of course it is do-able, but the risk level goes up. If you land out with no light it is unlikely you will be able to judge your flare properly. If you are then injured you may not be found till morning. But yes, it can be done.

I've seen night jumps at Eloy on New Years with no moon. Brian Burke said he didn't think it was all that good of an idea, but he allowed it because of tradition. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Electoral College voters who didn't vote for Trump or Clinton
gowlerk replied to nolhtairt's topic in Speakers Corner
SJWs are understood, which is precisely why they are subject to universal loathing and well earned contempt. The term is a practically meaningless attempt at denigrating people with views that others oppose. It's merely another example of the mean pettiness that many right wingers exhibit.

The first sign that everything is going to be alright

To an advocate of completely unrestricted gun access? None. To the majority of Americans according to polls? It depends on how you phrase the question. To the SCOTUS, we don't know yet, stay tuned. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. -
Anyone ever tried Polarizing filter on GoPro???
gowlerk replied to Goblue1433's topic in Photography and Video
Polarizers generally don't work well on wide lenses. You end up with bands of different coloured sky. It would work extra poorly on a skydive or any situation with a lot of movement. They work best on a static shot, because you need to rotate it to match the polarization of the light in any given situation. But you should get one and play with it anyway.

It's always bad managers who cause this. Moral goes down, turnover goes up, and the staff is left feeling that they have no support. It's not patient care that burns you out. It's generally the feeling that management cares about bureaucratic stuff more than care. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I don't see any real possibility of a civil war. There is no issue to fight one over. America has strong institutions that would make a Trump dynasty all but impossible. He is a loose canon and may do real lasting damage with the power he is assuming. But it is not unlimited power. I suspect he will very quickly alienate the Congress. These are people who are very jealous of their power and will not allow Trump to just walk over them. But short of proven criminal actions, I think impeachment is unlikely. What does seem likely is a series of ongoing battles with Congress, leading to real opposition and positioning for the next R nomination. Followed by an older and worn out tired Mr. Trump declaring the victory of the Trump revolution and announcing he will not run again. He will wait till the last possible moment to do this though. As you know, I have been wrong about US politics more often than not. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Nothing about travel. But my wife just left her long term job as a CRN in a very busy large hospital based dialysis unit because of burnout. She started feeling bad about her job more than a year ago, but she put off doing anything about it. Finally it got to be too much and she moved. Within the hospital but to a completely different field. She is like a new person, feeling fulfilled again. Don't ignore burnout, don't wait too long.

There are few words strong enough to express the despair the current opiate epidemic is bringing. And it's not just in America.

This is delicious to watch from a safe distance. Will he seek a second term? Will he somehow be forced out? And best of all, will there be a wonderful nomination fight starting about 2 years from now? The office of POTUS is going to ruin Trump one way or another.

What year did your school convert to square reserves?

Not to anyone in particular. The official language of America is the language of money. Commerce rules the land. You can whine about it all you want but there is money to be made selling things to people who only speak Spanish. And by employing people who only speak Spanish. Smart Americans who are native English speakers are learning Spanish. Those who are less ambitious and hard working come to places like this and complain about the fact that the nation is changing.

Yep, zero. Same as the one before and the one before that, all the way back. We vote for a party and that party appoints a leader. You actually vote for MPs. But everyone really votes for the leader. I live in a parliamentary democracy too. Ya can't fool me, I know how it works. But here, if the PM resigns the leadership precedent would demand an early election.

No it isn't, it has nothing to do with that. If you're saying the minority needs to be protected from the majority in a presidential election then you're saying the minority needs to be protected from the president. Well guess what - you get a president either way. So you've just swapped inflicting an unwanted president onto the minority for inflicting an unwanted president on the majority. So who the fuck are you protecting? A) You would never that in a popular vote. B) You have more of that with the EC than with the popular vote. C) Why is it about states instead of people? Why is one American's opinion less valid because they live within an arbitrarily created political division that has lots of people in it? Hey Jakee, just wondering here. What percentage of the popular vote did the current PM of Britain receive in the last election? Zero perhaps? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Ironically I just read a story about the LGBT community becoming so frightened that they are stocking up on arms. I guess they are getting to be more mainstream American. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. -

I'd have to say I'm neither. But we'd probably get along just fine. I'd only laugh about your Racer behind your back. Or you might think I'm deplorable. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

What is going on in North Carolina is both democratic and constitutional, unsavory perhaps, but by definition, constitutional and democratic. Kimberly-Clark is selling a lot of product in NC.
