    Pfffft  responsible republicans! Let alone responsible gun owners. i hate to be the one to disappoint you but those cartridges don't fit that gun.

    Sure Beats the hell out of "hopes and prayers"... At least somewhat in a position to help, is helping... Or trying, anyway.  

  3. To the best of my knowledge, the one DZ in the state flies a 182. Sooo, plan to hit FL up real soon!!! 

    Seriously though, If money isn't the problem, find a DZ with a group of instructors that you feel good about, and get after it. 

    182's aren't bad to jump, and you'll drop off that step right into a good body position! 

    Best of luck in your journey and let us know how it's going...

    I know, I know, he's at it again with his hate spouting. But seriously, put yourself in the shoes of the "women" competitors. 

    Now for the moral/ethical people out there in the real world, money is on the line here... Sooo, about that line, and where to draw it...? Make no mistake, I don't hate trannies, gays, bisexual, trisexual, or whatever group you want to be in, I'm just compelled to stand up for RIGHT! 

    What is right then, you ask? If you really need me to explain it, you have deeper issues. The guy with balls, playing with the ladies with vaginas, and pretending it doesn't matter...    

  7. Trump's 2024 platform: GUNS, GAYS AND GIRLS!!!  The saddest part of it all (the U.S. political scene) is what we ALL have to choose from.  Can you say WE NEED SERIOUS REFORM?!?! The two party system doesn't work any longer.

    Well, yeah, because it usually gets hotter in August.

    But for companies like Globalstar, Inmarsat and SpaceX, the solar maximum (once we hit it in a few years) will be a big deal 

    I like how you think that the sun recognizes "our" sense of time.

    An event on that level will happen someday and the disruption it causes will be monumental. Party on.

    Yup, life is good with power. When you can no longer go to the frig and get a snack, well, MANY will cease to exist.

    Hey guys! 

    I have just recently moved to Canada and I’m based in Vancouver. Does anyone know if there are any chute packing courses happening (anywhere in Canada) or have a contact of anyone in the Vancouver area that could teach me to pack? 
     

    Cheers! 

    Do you own a parachute rig???

    All things considered, my family began stock piling shelf stable foods and other items well over a year ago. With seeing how things went down during Covid, it seemed like a good idea. 

    Just putting some feelers out to see what, if anything you may have to offer in the way of anything special you're putting aside???

    Meanwhile, Russians are booby-trapping the corpses of Russian soldiers, so when Ukranian forces come to take them away to be buried, they are killed by the resulting explosion.

    Speaking from a little experience "in the field", boots on the ground are trained to check dead combatants FOR boobie traps. I would issue an order to BURN in place ALL dead Russians on the field of battle. A fitting end anyway.

    The biggest issue with cluster bombs is the duds. 
    For those who aren't familiar with them, a cluster bomb is basically a big box holding a bunch of 'bomblets' (yes, little 'baby bombs'). It unloads the bomblets and they fall to the ground and explode. Because of all the overlapping explosions, some don't explode. They aren't 'broken', they just didn't go off when they were supposed to. They can go off when disturbed.

    So someone can be walking through an area that was hit by a cluster bomb and accidentally detonate one of these duds. 

    The Russians also include bomblets intentionally fused for delayed explosion. 10 to 30 minutes. This is intended to kill or injure people responding to the initial attack. 

    Russia has been using cluster munitions on civilian targets. That's a war crime. The intentionally delayed munitions on a civilian target is a further war crime.

    OTOH, Ukraine has NOT been targeting civilian areas. The dud rate is also significantly lower for newer cluster munitions used by Ukraine than the much older ones used by Russia (roughly 2% vs 8% from what I can find). 

    While many countries have banned their use, that use alone is not a war crime.

    AND, they will be using these weapons on THEIR own soil. Just like the use of land mines, RESPONSIBLE parties will insure to clean up the mess... Why is this so difficult for OVER paid "analysts to figure out. Never mind, they never walked a mile in issued boots.  

  21. "Last year, WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki called the use of cluster bombs a 'war crime.' Now President Biden plans to send them to Ukraine. Stop the ceaseless escalation! It is time for peace," Kennedy wrote in a tweet.

    "Biden was opposed to cluster bombs in 1982 as well, when he opposed their sale to Israel," Kennedy, who entered the White House race in April, added in a separate tweet. "What happened to his conscience?"

    It's REAL simple guy, TWO completely different animals.  The above statement was found in a headline that bashed Biden for "leaking" info about our shortage of 155mm rounds. 

    Dear politicians, if you've never walked a mile in issued combat boots, stick to what you know best...

    Giving more than a second of your attention to an article shared on MSN.com is WRONG.

    Lots of different people believe and say lots of different things.

    From the article:

    "In 2021, KUTV states, A Black Lives Matter Utah (BLMU) had a post that was showing significant reactions, surpassing the impact of their street protests. The post claims that individuals who display the American flag are racist and referred to the flag as a symbol of hatred. "

    An unattributed "post" from 2021 is news worthy? Newsworthy enough to make it into a current "news story" in 2023? Relevant enough for you at actually read it and then think you should share it here for the rest of us, with bonus commentary from you?

    The real world relevance is overwhelming.

    This is A+ posting from you, and A+ journalism from The Independent News.

    I get my "news" from CNN. MSN is what pops up when I click the mouse at work. Not that I give two fucks what you think about me in general. Not being rude, just being real.

    Well then, I guess having my flag balled up in the basement makes me safe from being labeled a racist! Where does it stop??? 

    American history is truly a sad one. Slavery was a way of life, way back when (in most parts of the world, in one way or another ). But I digress.
