This is playing right into their playbook to be able to say that they weren't actually trying to help Trump in the election while simultaneously discrediting him to an international audience. It gives them much more leverage to be able to say they're not doing the things that they're doing or allows them to say that Trump is a bad-guy so the world shouldn't listen to him when he accuses Russia of wrong-doing.

Are we equating "demanding respect" to pushing a foreign Head of State out of the way because he wants to be in front? That's the kind of thing people stopped doing in grade school. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I don't get the relevance of this either. The story he wrote wasn't exactly incendiary or even relevant to how people should view him as a candidate. Was it someone on this thread saying this is proof of their marred past? Someone who wrote another article? Did Gianforte pose this as proof that the guy has been unfairly gunning for him?

Then it's a very good thing that you've avoided a career in politics Absent a professional setting sometimes someone needs to be shown what happens if they try to treat you like a little bitch. This is all getting very hypothetical as our range of settings is everywhere from this guys' interview to me reppin' my turf on the mean streets of Richmond, VA.

Use reduction/efficiency improvements are almost always cheaper than installing solar - every $1 you spend on efficiency saves you $2 on solar. (Used to be $1 saves $5, but solar has gotten much cheaper.) So the order you are contemplating makes the most sense; reduce usage first, then if you go solar later it's much cheaper. Selective reduction/efficiency improvements to a point of diminishing return. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I'm not sure how Gianforte can validate this as proof that Jacobs is contentions towards him. Wuppity doo, he's a businessman who makes investements, a set of those investments are in funds of businesses that are now because of sanctions.

Another example of the failure of decency. It was probably too late for this to create any downfall. But again, all he had to do was paint it as him taking down some pussy-ass liberal reporter who did him wrong and he's back on top as the man of the house.

Countries with most solar use: China: 78,100 MW (25.8%) Japan: 42,800 MW (14.1%) Germany: 41,200 MW (13.6%) United States: 40,300 MW (13.3%) Italy: 19,300 MW (6.4%) United Kingdom: 11,600 MW (3.8%) India: 9,000 MW (3.0%) France: 7,100 MW (2.3%) I'm not sure what your weather data is based upon but if your concern is latitude or weather then compare it to these countries that use quite a bit of solar. The 45th Parrallel runs through Lake Michigan and the South of France and if there's one thing the UK is famous for it's shit weather. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Nobody here is capable of answering that question with anything more than an allegorical response. I had friends who are Republicans who didn't vote for Trump but didn't vote for Hillary citing the arrogance at which treated the security of her server. I have Democratic friends who didn't vote for her because they felt her integrity is compromised. Yes, it affected the election results and this was a very tight race but my opinion is that she did more to alienate, polarize, and mobilize her opponent party constituents by treating them like she was not going to represent them. Edit: The outcome of the election has nothing to do with the need to investigate Russia's actions. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I read elsewhere that an estimated 62% of the votes had already been cast via early voting. I listened to a series of interviews of Montana voters during my 2 hour drive this AM. They spoke about the early voting, which you mention, and those interviewed said that although they thought he went over the top. But that said,they could not vote for a man with no message, that plays his guitar regularly at "Skin in the Wind" concerts at a local nudist camp, WITH HIS DAUGHTER, and who has a record of not paying his taxes, which were delinquent right up until he threw his hat in the contest. Hmmmmm Some of the back taxes were property taxes dating back until 2007. As for the beat down? Opinions about that are all over the place. So now you care about taxes and someone doing weird shit with their daughter? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Love the comments. Quick witted bunch there, I wonder what gave it away, the fake blood sprayed all over the "politicians" or the follow-up stories about the 50 person "Mashinator". "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I heard on the radio that Montana has a very high number of early votes. Probably something about most people being up on Mountains tending sheep or something. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

No one, not even me is arguing that point. The link to Trump is another thing however. And the fact that their meddling did not affect the outcome is something you chose to ignore. Come on John, keep up. So how do you explain hiring Flynn after both the acting AG and the outgoing president strongly advised against it? Stupidity, arrogance, or collusion? That's not collusion. It's a combination of stupidity and arrogance, the same thing that resulted in Hillary's servers and emails getting hacked. Trump saw the warnings about Flynn the same way he saw comments about Rex Tillerson, that both had contact with Russians as a natural course in their former jobs. He does not/did not know the difference that makes someone "compromised". "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

No idea. Just talking out of my ass it could be seen as a personal choice rather than something that ads value to the house. A quick google search shows that it's becoming more of an added value option but I'm sure that depends on the age. According to a website that promotes solar installation (http://costofsolar.com/: "In a state like California, for example, a small 3.1-kilowatt (kW) system can add an average of $18,324 to the value of a medium-sized home. The property value advantages of solar energy only increase as you scale up. Installing 5kW of solar panels adds an average of $29,555 to the retail value of a medium-sized home."

The language used in the report MUST be taking the piss: "At approximately 6:30 a.m. Monday, a car crash involving two pickup trucks sent one of the vehicles inside the AnalTech building of Newark, Del., leaving a giant hole. The truck damaged the facility's laboratory and caused an odor to emanate from the cavity" That writer knew exactly what he was doing. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I don't have to say it bill. You just did. There is no evidence of collusion. And there's also been statements by the government that Russian meddling did not affect the outcome of the election. Do you acknowledge that? Strange as it may seem, the CIA does not share its evidence with me during an ongoing intelligence operation. The fact that the director states that there IS reason to believe collusion is good enough for most people who aren't emotionally attached to Trump like you are. "The CIA received intelligence last summer indicating Donald Trump’s campaign aides were in contact with Russian government officials, information that was worrisome enough to pass to the FBI for investigation, former CIA Director John Brennan said Tuesday." Your responses are getting increasingly shrill. Again RuskieMC, this investigation is becoming more about campaign staff and Trump attempting to hide communications that may have been absolutely fine. They need to stop that and let the investigation proceed. We know for a fact that the Russians were attempting to sway the election. We know there was communication with Trump's campaign. It's very important as part of this investigation that we know what those conversations were about. Is any of that so off the wall? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

That's all a result of poor landing technique and instruction. You should not try to reach down to the ground and you definitely should not butt-slide a landing, especially as a new jumper. The first typically results in a harness shift because the person puts on leg farther down, the second absorbs the shock along your spine. To paraphrase canopy coaching from Greg Windmiller, attempting to not land will result in the softest landing. The best landing will result in the canopy just floating straight over your head as you touch the ground, even in windier conditions. While you cannot fix the added responsiveness of short lines, you can improve the aspect of lines being too long by having the student take a wrap around their hands. This is an EXTREMELY individual topic and I otherwise would not have brought it up because it's only applied to specific students with specific coaching. It's more important to properly coach a PLF landing. A student (or new jumper) absolutely should not plan to land with straight legs or on their butt. To take another step up the decision tree instructors are putting students out in conditions that are acceptable for that student with that canopy. You as an A-license jumper are free to configure your brake lines as you wish. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

My most accurate source (Genius as Fuck brother-in-law who's job is telling companies like Ford, Honeywell and their Chinese suppliers how to more efficiently run their business.) has said the same. It's basically a thing you do because you like it, you'll get the same payback on a typical stock investment. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Ok. So you don't think they should investigate the extent to which Russia attempted to meddled in our election? I'm trying to figure out why you're putting so much energy into this and calling everything bullshit? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Same old bullshit. Are you confusing what "collusion" means? It's beyond fact that the Russians meddled in the election in an effort to help Trump but there is currently no evidence that any member of Trump's campaign was a willing member of it. What is it that you're trying to disprove? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
