A fart with lumps in it?

Maybe you need to get out more....;-)

Point of order: A Death strap is something used by riggers when packing reserve canopies for a racer type harness, where the strap is put around the reserve to make a "molar" shape to fit into the container nicely. If the rigger forgets to remove the strap, the result is certain death if the jumper deploys his reserve parachute. Racers are a bitch to pack without one. What you use to attach to each other in a down plane should be called something else, not a death strap, although impacting in a down plane is definitely unhealthy enough to result in death. I personally think tying yourselves together to do a down plane is a dumb idea, but thats just me. It pays to remember Murphys law. Call it something else, but riggers already have that terminology patented. Hiding a riggers death strap after he's finished packing a reserve WILL get you punched.

I think his point was more to convince them that he was operating at genius level, way above normal humans. Which is what he wants his supporters to believe about themselves. They'll swallow that bs like cream on top a sugar doughnut. Of course most of them fall well below normal on the IQ range.

But I'm not a very nice guy about this sort of thing). Apologies to Stephen Fry: Homicide. Killing another person. Suicide: Killing ones self. Fratricide: Killing ones sibling. Countryside: Killing Donald Trump.

A paraphrased view of Trump from a writer in England: "He has no class, no charm, no humour, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour, no honesty, no morality, and no grace. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing. To lack humour is almost inhuman. If Doctor Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws, he would make a Trump!"

Trump thinks magnets can be killed by pouring water over them. Who knew? I always suspected those magnet fishing videos were fake. And obviously the navy were tying those limpet mines to enemy ships. As for the earths magnetic field,.... Absolute Jenius.

Don't give up your day job!!!

It will be good to see Rudy living in a cardboard box at the back of Walmart....richly deserved before he starts his jail term.

Thats great. They really shouldn't breed.

Not sure these scumbags should get off scot free with a plea deal. They were neck deep in it, and would have been looking forward to a successful outcome of Trumps scheme. Nothing could have happened without their involvement. We are seeing crocodile tears and false repentance. They all need to see the inside of a jail cell.

OK fair cop. Didn't notice it there, but I was looking for it somewhere else on his harness. He was obviously not even thinking about it. Full panic mode, when you have to be cool headed and clear thinking in those moments. This guy, in fact both of them, could be called DGITs.

These two should totally get some proper training in CRW, and EPs in a wrap situation. Didn't see any evidence of a hook knife to clear those hung up lines, and both of them dicked around far too long. Bottom guy chopping first, left his mate to be properly wrapped. lucky not to be. Having a rsl hooked up is a very bad idea when doing CRW. Seems to me these two really didn't have much idea of what they were doing.

Debateable whether it made you better or safer, but it does give you a different perspective to put in your experience bucket, not only from the jump itself, but with the preparation and planning that goes into it, and the decision making process involved in actually pulling the handles. So from that perspective, having that in your experience bank is a good thing. You may be asked to pass on advice in the future as well, all us old dogs are moving to the great DZ in the sky, so someone needs to pass ideas on to the next generation. I've done several intentionals on display jumps, as well as a couple of cutaways for real, and no matter how much practice on the ground you do, nothing replicates the moment of the real thing. Used to be a requirement of our old D licence to do a cutaway if you hadn't experienced the real thing. Back in the day it wasn't common to get to D licence level without at least one mal. For me it was jump #6. But its always important to remember, that anytime you put yourself in a different situation like this, your risk level is increased. That is why it is important to talk to the right people, get the right gear, and plan it properly. I wouldn't induce spins or anything unusual to make it more "real". It could turn to custard pretty damn quick. I jumped several torn up canopies to see how they behaved, but I can't say I learned anything special, because they were just one offs and behaved differently. I gave myself extra altitude for these jumps, so I was back at normal activation altitudes for normal deployments. I wouldn't worry too much about it, better just to keep current, and practise your EPs regularly. When you really need them, they should be ingrained and automatic. The most important thing in a stress situation, is to make a decision, and carry it out immediately. You'll find when it turns to shit in the air, its pretty easy to carry out the EP drills. He who hesitates is lost.....

22 years is not enough. I hope the DOJ can appeal all these sentences as being too light. All should get 25 years minimum.

I think he said he thought Trump genuinely believed the election was stolen. When he'd been told by all and sundry it was legit. So Jared probably lied to the grand jury. Perjury charge anyone?

Did my own packing, and terminal openings put a bit more stress on the body than sub terminal. I had nothing to eat or drink all day as well, 4 of them were night jumps, so didn't finish till midnight. Was not particularly physically fit either.

30 jumps in a day is pretty hard core. He must be incredibly fit. I've done 13 in a day, and I was knackered.
