Australia breaks weather records with hottest ever summer

Cue tweet from Trump dismissing it as fake news because it's winter right now.

 

Defence attorneys use experts too.  Early input from an expert, even for the Claimant, might kill a case dead before letters are even sent if there's no negligence involved. 

The White House hasn't paid it's water bill - water company should turn off the stop cock.

Plenty of times and when they're cooked well they're great. The problem is it's really easy to screw up the cooking and turn them into rubber - kinda like scallops.

I know it is/was fashionable to criticize the Franco regime, but it is worthwhile to note that Spain sent zero troops to be slaughtered in the war that swept Europe.

Slight point of order but they actually sent just short of 50,000 troops to help the Nazis on the Eastern Front.

UK allows reserves packed by FAA rigger but the repack cycle is held to be the FAA repack cycle rather than the BPA cycle. Made a difference back when it was 90 days and the UK was 6 months. Now it's less of an issue but still leads to the odd day difference here and there as 6 calendar months is slightly different to 180 days.

Pretty open and shut case of defamation isn't it? Who do you sue though - SHS? US Govt? Office of the President, for whom she was simply the spokesperson?

It's a wonder anyone is still sane there.

We aren't old boy.

It's been some time since I've visited a US DZ but I'm sure that when I did (post 2001) they honoured the UK's 6 month repack cycle even though back then you guys were on a shorter cycle - what was it 120 days?

Also, certainly did not require everyone to get a reserve repack from an FAA rigger, reserves were all jumped as packed by a BPA rigger.

He's a twunt

Skydiving and SCUBA - both sports where you're fucked if you run out of air.

And surprise surprise he's a medical doctor employed by the GRU and either a Lt Colonel or a full Colonel and just like his buddy he's also been awarded Hero of the Russian Federation by Putin.

The primary things you're seeking to prevent in the way you fold the bridle and PC is a hard pull and provide impact mitigation in the event of an out of sequence deployment.

A PC that can easily self extract if the pin is pulled out of sequence for any reason could turn a highly dangerous horse-shoe malfunction into [I]merely[/I] a premature deployment. Still dangerous but significantly less so.

What you're looking for therefore is a nice even width along the length of the rolled up PC, with the bridle in the middle of the PC fabric and the slippery PC fabric facing outwards towards the BOC/base of the container. There are many ways to achieve that goal.

There's also this theory:

One of the suspects (who supposedly was just a civilian living out a life-long dream of visiting the cathedral in some random provincial English city) has now been identified as Colonel of the GRU Anatoliy Chepiga, previously decorated with Russia's highest award, Hero of the Russian Federation by decree of Putin.

You can get ones with a valve in them. Your hearing's important.

Trump's Tweeted about Woodward:

"Only the Obama WH can get away with attacking Bob Woodward."

Oh yeah, my bad, that was in 2013...

Russia had nothing to do with Trump's victory. That is the huge point you refuse to see.

That point's been conceded repeatedly. It's not that people refuse to see it, it's that it's irrelevant.

If I conspire with person A to murder person B, if I don't manage to actually kill person B, (say I only wing him, miss altogether or get caught before I even do anything), it doesn't matter, I'd still be guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.

He may have prevented a car from being stolen.

As a practical effect he didn't even really prevent that - a car with brains all over the interior will be written off.

a) do nothing - car's stolen and owner gets an insurance pay out (if insured)

b) shoot the guy - car's written off and owner gets an insurance pay out (if insured)

[Slow hand clap]

Yeah, was doing the rounds over this side of the pond during the run up to the Brexit vote.

[Trump]"Everyone has to wear cammo guys - we're doing this super secret so no one knows we're coming. It'll be a surprise attack, such a big, beautiful, surprise attack, everyone knows I do the best surprise attacks".[/Trump]

Trump carries a fuck-off lamp.

******Evidently his feeling have been hurt.
"But after being asked about the blimp, Trump reportedly told The Sun newspaper: “I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London.”

We need a few of those blimps for D.C.

I'd buy the license for those balloons right now! I get freaking rich off them.

Er... have you seen the blimp in question? https://goo.gl/images/BiYwEq

We did it all over a piece of paper?

So did we. A piece of paper sent on the morning that Germany invaded Poland that said words to the effect of "Confirm by 11am that you're pulling out of Poland or we'll declare war on you".

They didn't, so we went to war.
