What's interesting about this episode is that I previously knew very little about her. Now that I do I want her at least as a VP if not President. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

On the post election day morning when we knew the outcome I drove to work feeling like I didn't wake up in the same country I went to sleep in, that for some reason everyone let the nuts run the asylum. This is one of those nuts. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Out of curiosity, if that instrument resembles a computer and keyboard then I think we have a measure of who little you care. As is....you're still posting about this. How are you calling this a myth? She has DNA evidence now that she IS part Native American. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

As I have been saying for over two years now, it is very reminiscent of the early days of the Third Reich. One only has to read The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich to see the commonality. Kristallnacht anyone? Jerry Baumchen Or, Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. Deep State anyone? No. I'm sorry to say but this was not a a Soros funded, Alinsky motivated event. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I hope you realize that through her life she's been on an academic and professional level that has eclipsed anything for which a "race boost" would benefit her. She's not some half assed teacher they hired so they could put a checkmark next to their Diversity Goals list. She's one of the top three most cited lawyers in commercial and bankruptcy law,w was an associate Dean, has served in numerous advisory roles to professional commissions, and has taught at some one the best schools in the country. To say she's gotten academic favoritism is laughable. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Germany going to bomb Pearl Harbor again? If they do, it won't be over....again. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yup, I have friends actually saying that this proves she's a liar and if I care about Trump being a liar then how can I not care about Warren being a liar. My response is that only one of those people recently paid a multi-million dollar settlement for their lies, aka Trump University. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yup. My sister's results showed up as 0.1% Subsaharan African and remainder very very very Northern European. Presumably that would put the closest relative at something like 10 generations ago assuming it was a 1/2 split each time. The group who made the test says this does reflect an actual connection, not an error in the testing. We can only speculate what the situation was but history would indicate that it had to do with slavery on my father's more British Isles side. I'm also part of the don't give a damn how Native camp but I understand that it has been vogue for a long time for people who had a Native American relative to say so. In the 60's and 70's it seemed like just about everyone and especially black people had a Cherokee great great great...etc...grandmother. The fact is that she was told by her family she has that relation and I don't fault her for saying so or even exaggerating it or even allowing her employer to further exaggerate it as I don't think it's relevant to any assessment of her honesty or integrity. What's happened here is that the Right lost their favorite insult for Warren and the best they can do is continue to plow through it as an insult in their quest to drag her down. They're trying very hard to make her the next HRC and if some confusion about her ancestry is the best they can do then it sounds like we have a good candidate for 2020.

Bloomberg/Warren "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

What's your point? Are you saying that this issue disqualifies her from running for President? Back in the day she said she has some American Indian heritage based upon family lore, someone she ran against brought it up in an election cycle, Trump brought it up later and now she's shown that she does in fact have some American Indian heritage in her family. Sure Harvard shouldn't have run with it as her being a full blooded native and yes seems like she let them say that but in the end.......Who Fucking Cares? Is this really all you guys have to try to turn her in the next Hillary Clinton that everyone on the Right will hate? So in conclusion, concerning the issue of Elizabeth Pocahontas-Gate: Wuppity Fucking Dooo. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I recall we talked about solar in Ohio a while back so you must have forgotten it. Your area is just fine for solar. Here's a map (scroll down) comparing you to Arizona. Your state is starting to install more solar on a global scale you're just a little bit farther North. Remember that solar electric isn't the only solar source, active solar heating is used even on industrial scales in Canada. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Have you ever wondered how many coal enthusiasts would volunteer to work in a coal mine? I would Not that is in any way relevant to this discussion What's stopping you? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

No. But it WOULD limit the damage they could do in the long term. The appointments are already political AND have no time limit. If you can't get rid of one, get rid of the other. The Supreme Court is always going to lag a bit in the Conservative vs. Progressive concept. On average there's one replacement about every 5-10 years. I'm not concerned with that kind of turnover. What I AM concerned with is the SC nomination being more entwined with the 4-year cycle of popular/fad politics. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Term limits will NOT make SC appointments less political and therefore politically shortsighted. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yuri, that's not an equation. I think I know what equation you're going for but you're leaving out just every real world concept and confusing statics, dynamics and fluid dynamics. And yes that's what my degree is in. What you're trying to say is that there's a relationship between friction, force and the angle of the fabric against each other. That's not something that can be modeled by back of the napkin math or really any mathematical equation as it applies to fabric at those wind speeds. You would do that in a wind tunnel with ultra high speed cameras if you really wanted to set up a perfect analysis.

In conclusion, learn to pack under the guidance of your instructors and established methods (Look up Performance Designs Pro Packing). Don't do gimmicks and tricks and voodoo and bullshit, just learn how to pack correctly from the get go. If you're struggling it's because you're learning, not because you're failing. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

That doesn't mean that it doesn't need to be addressed. It won't move by itself, push the grommets all the way up the lines while folding and closing the bag. Yuri, you should know better than to try to dish out a slider-out packing method to a beginner over the internet. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Holy shit, that's been a punchline with some of my friends. Hilarious that someone actually made the song. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Interesting that this was the same person who called for Al Franken's removal without the due process she says was lacking in Kavanaugh's case. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

You know this happened one time, right? This is a pretty small bone to pick if your gripe is how USPA handles things. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

That was way over the top. Could you imagine the Fox News outrage if a Democratic appointee said that? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

This is getting to be a bit ridiculous. Does anyone really think that a TI, during his medical is going to write in that he or she is dealing with depression knowing that it's a possible disqualifier? We're not going to add a suicide screening process because one TI committed suicide. Also, the "governing body" isn't going to rush into an investigation and make a statement like that. What would you think if just a week after an incident the wrote it off as "suicide" and did no further investigation? The fact is that for almost every incident there's not new boogieman out there, if you follow your procedures correctly and maintain your gear correctly that thing won't happen to you. Everyone cool out. We probably all know what it was but if you're interested in addressing the issue then go back to your DZ and review procedures and gear maintenance with your staff. I don't know what to say about addressing depression but the last thing I want is the USPA or the government adding psychological screening to my life.
