I don't think Russians would have a problem with that. As long as Putin is seen as the dominant. The guy behind and in charge that is. They like strong men. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Hopefully they are protected against Russian and Chinese hacking by some kind of isolation as well. Tit for tat cyber wars are just around the corner. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

As a so called effeminate, uber liberal, dinner party going,truck driving Canadian, I also offer my condolences for your deep seated resentment over losing the culture wars. Despite this election result your world has changed and will not return to the white patriarchal hypocritical religious era you long for. The battle cry has been given. The Trump administration will energize the left from it's lethargy. You ain't seen nuthin' yet. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

So it's just like judo. Turn your opponents power against him. Isn't Putin a judo expert? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Dreamer. it won't do any of those things. Do you not understand supply and demand? The EPA is not nearly as powerful as you think. The only power they really have is the power to make you angry. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I wasn't trying to make one. I was concerned about safety implications of the choice. For example, a rigger at my DZ told me line twists are slightly harder to kick out of thinner lines. This is actually a little funny. Your first post, and a reasonable one at that, leads to conflicting advice from two of the best advisors on here. MEL is a very highly skilled active cutting edge rigger involved in many aspects of high performance skydiving. Riggerrob is a grey beard who has been doing it for many years and has seen many things come and go. In this case they are both right. The lighter line is more high performance. And it is also currently fashionable to go with higher performance materials, even when they are not needed in the particular application. The word "fashion" here is being used in a slightly cynical way. There is a balance to be struck between strength and performance. Most people would choose the heavier line in the situation you are in, but if going a little faster in your swoop is what you want out your Safire 169 the lighter line is the way to go. In the end this is just a minor one of the many choices you will be making. In my experience the smaller the line the more line twists will be generated in any given situation. Are they harder to get out of? Not if you know how to do it. Smaller lines won't start unwinding all by themselves like heavier lines do. But they do respond fine. Methods of getting out of line twists belong in another forum, so I won't start on that here. You are asking great questions and seem to have put a lot of thought into your choices. There is nothing but good here. If you stay in the sport you may end up involved in rigging as well. You seem like the type.

Yes, starting with the new Secretary of Keeping Labour Costs Down. The business man from the fast food industry. The guy who wants more immigration to feed his business. Just what you need more of, low paying fast food jobs. In place of the manufacturing job the lying liar promised but can not deliver. He has a lifetime of making promises he can't keep. Experience, the new American value. Suckers..... Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

You sure talk tough. You must be right. In my experience talky talky bullshitting anonymous posters like you are never wrong. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Probably true. But at 100 jumps and under a 170 canopy, completely irrelevant. Except perhaps as a fashion statement. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I guess that would be a pointless argument. So sure, flight can happen in a vacuum. The days of big space spending by the government are over for now. Space exploration will have to pay it's costs to advance, unless the military needs it. The Wright brothers did not have taxpayer support, and Elon Musk is trying to do as much as possible without it as well. But advances in atmospheric flight are being made all the time. It's getting cheaper, more efficient, and safer. The future is still bright. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

That's certainly possible. He has after all spent his entire life since childhood looking out for the best interest of other people. A real Mensch, and now a King.

You are correct. It is nearly always the drivers fault. That will be considered a preventable accident. Driving too fast for conditions. He was also in the left lane, probably illegally. Quite possibly because he was passing cars that were smart enough to slow down. Then he had no where to go when he came upon the stopped traffic from the accident series that had already started. He may have chose to leave the roadway rather than rear end the stopped traffic. ABS braking systems would normally allow him to stop straight.

Maybe Trump will let Ivanka oversee the EPA. Nope, Scott Pruitt, a climate denier from the oil patch who has sued the EPA. The best part is the Dems are powerless to stop him because of a rule change they pushed through. Yes, I'm well aware of the nominee. However, the power will still be sitting on the Throne. And who will have the tyrant King's ear? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

You will be when you see what Obamacare repeal really looks like. Your country did make a hard move to the right for now. But in the end it's only the one step back in the old "two steps forward and one step back" game. Social progress may pause a little, but it won't go backwards. The pace of chance in the last decade has been slightly dizzying. Maybe it's best to just rest a moment and let the right catch their breath. Maybe Trump will let Ivanka oversee the EPA.

Uhh....which of the other players have aircraft and ordinance to conduct bombings? The "establishment media" is actually a very fine example of competition at it's best. There is no one media, the media is a chaotic mix of viewpoints and proponents. All shouting to be heard above the din. There is actually no one who does not believe what the media says. There are however many people who choose which brand of media to listen to and believe. You believe "the media" yourself. How about you tell us where you get your information, the information you do believe I mean? Are you a conspiracy theorist by chance?

The UPT sizing chart indicates that a Safire 169, and most other similar sized canopies will fit into your V349. No matter what lines you choose. It also lists the PDR176 as standard fitting. Looking at this information it appears that your choices are correct and that you should have no problems with this combination. UPT will probably look at the canopies information and have nothing to say about it because it is correct. Here is a link to the UPT sizing chart to help you out. http://www.unitedparachutetechnologies.com/PDF/CHART_00037___Rig_Sizing_Chart.pdf Your original question about line types was very well answered by riggerrob. Get the heavier line, it will make very little difference in pack volume, but a large difference in line life. My earlier comment about a used canopy was just a hint to make your life a little easier. A new 170 sized 9 cell canopy will work, it will just be more effort to pack.

Wallet full or empty, you should consider a used canopy. It will be a lot easier to pack into a container that will be full. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Actually, America indicated a preference for HRC at the ballot box. The electoral college prefers Trump. America is extremely divided. What America needs is a strong enemy to unite it.

Oh, now I understand what's going on. Finally, something that makes sense. Thanks! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

What's really happening is that you thought your list was so clever. But everyone mostly ignored it because it makes no sense. Now your upset 'cuz no one is playing the game.

No one is ever going to show you proof. You will choose to believe what you want to believe anyway. Just like everything else in your post truth world. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
