It's not for a lack of trying.

Is not. It makes everyone do something for the benefit of the few who can't deal with the changing of the seasons.

Now that Trump is safely out of the White House, the NYT admits the laptop belongs to Hunter. The scope and breadth of the misinformation campaign, suppressing the truth about Hunter’s laptop, was breathtaking. NYT, the intel community, Facebook, Twitter, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and others colluding to protect Biden and influence an election. https://nypost.com/2022/03/17/the-times-finally-admits-hunter-bidens-laptop-is-real/

Just a quick update - college is going well. Engineering is hard but I'm maintaining good grades in all my classes. I'm going to shoot for Aerospace when I choose my major at the end of this year (If I can't get in, I will try Mechanical, and I can still get into aerospace industry with a ME degree) Sometimes I really miss California's weather but can't complain haha. Looking back I believe that I made the right choice, and thanks to everyone who pushed me. I think right now I'm learning something meaningful, and will do something meaningful in the future. About skydiving... well, I still think about it and my past experiences from time to time, but not as much as before. After my accident I always had that urge of 'immediately' getting back to it but now that has decreased a lot. I will jump again when I'm fully ready after a few years. Blue Skies and stay safe out there

I am against changing the clocks twice each year. I personally don't mind if we stick to "standard" or "daylight", or even if we go to Zulu (after all, ATC manages to synchronize worldwide just fine using Zulu, so it must be achievable). But making that choice was (and is) not part of my suggestion.

Hi folks, I think that this horse had died. It is not possible to inflict any additional punishment. Let's move on. Jerry Baumchen

Don't forget that he also caused high gas prices, inflation, bad breath, trains and the Kanye/Julia breakup. THANKS BIDEN!

Does anybody really know what time it is? I keep hearing that the end is near anyway.

Agree Agree Disagree. Did you graduate from the trump school of international diplomacy and law? Ukraine didn't fight the annexation of Crimea and the Donbas because they had a military with no capacity to do so. They had a broken down army with outdated command procedures along Soviet lines. A communication system completely compromised by Russia. Few weapons. Since then NATO countries including Canada, US, Germany, Poland and others poured weapons, ships and training into the Ukrainian armed forces. Eventually Putin will be gone. With it the will of the right wing fascists in Russia to re-create the Russian empire. In the short term the rule of the jungle, the bigger bully will settle geographic boundaries law. Russia will pay a heavy price for Putin. Financially and politically. When Russians, the resident of Crimea and Donbas. See a successful Ukraine and a stagnating Russia. See the facts of the world. They will vote economics over pseudo-nationalism. Because the disinformation campaign of the Kremlin won't last forever. Because sanctions will bite and a 10-15% drop in GDP will hurt them.

Why the snark? Because skydiving will look bad if something goes wrong? Because it isn't you getting paid (I get that, I wish I was good enough to get some of that Red Bull $$)? You mentioned Tom Noonan earlier. Luke is not providing some guy with too much money an "extreme experience". He's a professional stuntman doing an impressive stunt. If he fucks up, no paying customers will be injured or die. Huge difference. I'll be watching.
