  1. Because semi stowless bags are the new fashion. People are convinced that they will get cleaner, on heading openings. If a manufacturer does not have one available their sales will suffer.
  2. This week in fake news news...... https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/01/05/not-real-news-what-didnt-happen-this-week Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. It's not that risky. You'll be ok if time and money are not an issue.
  4. Skydiving is one of the most selfish things you can do in life. For several reasons, not just the risk. But so what? Go for it. You deserve it like the rest of us.
  5. Apparently you have a hard time reading before replying. But it doesn't matter. Trump is now nothing but a laughingstock. The end will probably come well before Mueller is finished. Trump will resign before summer. "Medical" reasons. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  6. I've never heard of the author before. So I did not know about the reputation you are alleging. Do you have anything to back it up? Or is it just the start of the right wing apoligistia slander he will be facing? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. I did not know that. NPR is a delicate organization. Robert Seigel is retiring. His last day is tomorrow. Maybe that will change things.
  8. Why did you steal Billy's thread title for this?
  9. Actually, people with this kind of operational experience rarely are the kind of guys who talk about it. This guy is kind of an outlier in a couple ways. But first of all, he talks too much.
  10. Nice story telling. It sounds like a lack of planning and training for the pax to me. But as a non American no one cared. About what I'd expect.
  11. So I wonder. Was Melania crying for herself and her family, or for the nation? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. Yeah but it doesn't mean we're going to hit it first. It won't really matter who was first if the buttons are pushed....... Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. And now we know what country has the biggest most powerful button. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. Your version of the lyrics is missing the point of the song....
  15. It turns out everything is Russia's fault. I just heard a CBC announcer say that Canada is getting "record cold air from Siberia". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. Sometimes your trolls are just plain silly. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. From a democratic and anti-Trump perspective I'm enjoying watching his and the R party's support plummet like a rock. And elections with strong D turnout. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. Yup, dogs are ok and I like them just fine. But when people ask for money for no kill shelters while walking past hungry homeless people I just don't get it.
  19. Obviously no one here can give you permission or take responsibility for what you decide. What I can do is tell you what I've seen other flex pins made of. Which is either clear coated steel cable, or alternately a piece of yellow lolon coated cutaway type cable folded in half so that two pieces go through the closing loop. (one alone would not be stiff enough) In both cases the cables had a loop in the end formed using a Nicopress swage with a lanyard larksheaded onto the loop.
  20. I've never seen any material like this without cable inside of it. Pictures?
  21. I don't know where you got that idea from. Maybe a local law? Where is this in force? It may be a good accounting practice, but I'm not aware of any such law. Major retailers and restaurants, Apple and nearly everyone sell gift certificates. They do not hold the money in any form of escrow. If the company goes out of business the certificate holder gets in line with all the other unsecured creditors.
  22. The rational? Greed and shortsightedness. Nothing more, nothing less.
  23. I can't imagine that any real data exists to answer that question one way or another. But I think that the fact the patent must be long expired and as far as I know no one has since adopted flares into any current design tells me that they are not advantageous.
