  1. There’s one born every minute...... Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. I've seen both of those as well. The other cause I've seen is bridle half hitched around the p/c. Which is a different situation in that you may or may not get a deployment out of it. Is this even still a PCIT? I have used and owned both pull out and throw out over the years. I'm ok with either, but I made the switch to the now nearly standard throw out quite a while ago.
  3. That is a design compromise. Perhaps it would be more correct to say that a throw out gives you a better staged deployment rather than calling a pull out an out of sequence deployment.
  4. Yup, 'zactly. Out of sequence deployment on each and every jump. So pulling the pin before you get the PC out is considered "out of sequence deployment"? In my mind, yes. The bridle should load up before the pin is extracted. Unless you’re using a spring loaded p/c.

  6. Ambassadors are not politicians. But they are paid to lie. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. Good point. It's not really a Trump tax plan. It's more a Ryan/McConnell plan. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. What exactly does the term "pitch a baby bitch" mean? And where did you get it from? A Breitbart source no doubt. The right wing sure does get creative in finding words to denigrate people. Too bad they have so much trouble with honesty and decency. The phrase pitch a bitch has been around way longer than Breitbart. So I'll just let you wallow in your ignorance I’m guessing that term originated in a prison or a middle school. pitching a bitch Definition pitching a bitch rate (Adult / Slang) In African American parlance, to cause a disturbance. I see. Pretty fly for a white guy there Marc. But I'm still pretty sure you are using it because you heard or read one of your Reich wing leaders use it. You've always been such a loyal soldier.

  11. Skydivers are the least disciplined of all aviators.
  12. I don't believe he is just floating an idea. I think he's sending a signal to Flynn. Watch what you say. If you protect me I'll protect you. More obstruction. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. Before AADs were in common use fatalities involving people cutting away then failing to pull the other handle, or waiting too long before remembering were fairly common. This scenario accounts for the largest proportion of AAD saves.
  14. These numbers are estimates. But they do illustrate just what countries of the nine known to possess nukes actually have enough of them to threaten mankind. https://www.ploughshares.org/world-nuclear-stockpile-report Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  15. This is a strange statement to make considering the subject matter of the thread. I can explain that. A world wide stock of thousands of fusion weapons exists. Conspiracy theories are only theories. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. All too human and just about what the average AAD save really is. Most of us say that we have them because we may take a hit on a jump and it could save us. But the reality is that we are human, time is short in freefall, and all of us could screw up. I've personally been on the scene of only a few AAD fires. All of them caused by a single person's error. None involving anyone taking a hit. And almost all come with much less honesty than this report.
  17. But it's not just Bannon. He is not the mighty conductor or king maker. He is just a side show. Trump is the man who has taken control of the Presidency and who managed to be nominated by the people who give the GOP it's power. It is already too late for the GOP even if they can find a way to end the Trump era early. They will have to wait for it to end of it's own accord. They simply can not ignore or wish away the one third of the electorate who thinks Trump is exactly what McConnell et al deserve. That one third is two thirds of the people who vote GOP. To put it another way, Trump is twice as popular to the rank and file as anyone else. Who can seriously challenge him? It is unlikely that he can be defeated in a 2020 primary. And I find it equally unlikely that he can win in a 2020 general election. But I like many have been wrong about that before....

  18. I'm hoping for a tie. It's a political death match. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. Compassionate conservatives have left the building. Driven out by culture warriors, talk show millionaires and tea party partisans. If they dare speak up they are instantly branded as RINOs. If they are professional politicians they will be primaried. They are mostly comfortable middle class people with jobs and health insurance. They just don't care that much. And they do not count because they do not vote in primary elections. Yes, they are out there in great numbers. They are the new silent majority. And when they get pissed off enough some of them will vote D. If the D candidate is seen as acceptable. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  20. Wendy's right. Ron's delusional thinking is informative and gives me insight into just how dangerous elements of the "Christian Right" can be. He is warning to the rest of us. There are people in positions of power who share some of his views. There are people who are just waiting for the most horrible things to happen, and who will do what they can to help make them happen, just because it will bring on the the passing of some weird prophesy that they are longing to come to pass. People who think like that become dangerous when they are given or take power. Ron helps us to understand that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  21. Well okay then. If you are going to go down that dark alley I'm certainly not going to chase you. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. Sexual? Nah.....it's just locker room talk. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. The analysis this morning is saying that turn out among minorities was greater than expected. This is a very good sign. They most likely were motivated not just by dislike of Moore, but also Trump. If more of these people had made the effort to vote last year Trump would not be in office now. I understand that HRC was not a candidate they could get excited about, but they are sure paying the price for sitting on their hands now.

  24. I was packing a reserve when my wife came downstairs to tell me there is hope in the world after all. I really had no idea she was even paying attention to it. So I turned on the CNN feed and listened to the Jones victory speech. All the time expecting a shot to ring out and fell him live on TV. It's very easy to read too much into this. Moore was a deeply flawed man as a candidate. But to me, the best part is that this is the seat vacated by Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. Who is actually even more evil than Moore.

    Hey Billy

    I drove I-70 west out of Denver last week. Up and into Rifle to pick up a load. The weather was great all the way. Dry roads and blue skies even at the top of the pass. But I did not see what you saw. I guess I need to dump the truck and get a bike. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
