...and both showing the same serial no.

I agree with your sentiments about Trump... but why is this a sticky?

Hit up your rigger... or the local seamstress. Simple sewing job it is...

Fortunately, These folks didn't buy into that line of thinking.

...I'm pretty sure Uber don't give a shit either way and only put the policy into place as a CYA measure.

In line with that.... When my wifey and I got married, neither of us had a pot to piss in (never mind a window to throw it out of!). We scrounged up all of our unwanted and broken jewelry from close friends and family and wound up with enough to not only make both rings, but to also pay the jeweler. Her mom donated the rock from her marriage to my wife biological sperm donor (asshat abandoned them when she was 6...). End result was net zero cost for 2 rings and a rock I still couldn't easily pay for, but the rings mean much more to us than any OTS ring ever could.

pssstt.... dude.... read more and post less, and respect those who have blazed the trail you follow.

Just say'n....

I don't get it either... why is this piece in the political section?

Can't bitch if you don't vote.

Aren't you missing a point? ...WTF is wrong with setting a standard that is high enough to ensure you get the best possible caliber of applicant available (regardless of sex), instead of just 'whomever' applies? Were not talking about working at Walmart here...

Kinda feel bad for the inmates, having found themselves in the shitty situation of having to clean up the po-po poo-poo cruiser.

There is an 'understoond' 1 in front of the X that isn't normally shown.... representing (1*X). Common convention is to drop the '1'....
To follow on... (1*X) + (.0825*X) = (1+.0825)*X = 1.0825*X = 1.0825X

Clear as mud?

So... apparently if you don't like the message, insult the messenger.

Got it.

...The worst part, dickhead bosses know the job market, this gives them their power.

Dickhead only has power over you if you let him.

Nevermind the implied supposition that if you can ban/confiscate firearms, ALL that money would be saved and there would be no violence.

What a crock of shit.

Too late! We already voted!

I'm sure the judge does.... prolly wouldn't be one otherwise. That being said, Does ANY judge have the authority to grant items on CQS wish list?

I live south of Canada, and I can assure you that I don't live in fear.

Yes, Iraq had/has an armed populace and I'm well aware of what has happened there. And being armed, they had a chance to defend themselves and the opportunity to stand up against tyrannical forces. Those populations killed under Stalin (20M), Hitler (13M), China (20M), etc. didn't have the means to stand up, because their gov't banned and confiscated firearms.

I'll concede the final point and actually agree with you. There's no realistic way to put the genie back in the bottle, or effectively repeal the 2nd without a likely civil war in the process.

I'm not at all insecure, so no worries there.

No one is necessarily saying your typical “Earl & Billy Bob” can’t have a gun to go squirrel huntin [sic].

I think we'll disagree on this note too.... It seems like every other person on the left side of the spectrum from the Brady bunch to Bloomberg to Coumo to the assoc of peds has made it their life's work to disarm America.

Maybe lets start by having the whole populace 'packing'... It wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Granted, the asshats would likely kill themselves off rather quickly and there would undoubtedly be some innocent old ladies or kids taken out in the process, but when the dust settled there would be a lot less crime overall, the chances of another Sandy Hook or Columbine would be drastically reduced, and society in general would be a lot more polite. Does it bother you to see someone packing while your walking down the street or getting gas? Why?

What's wrong with leaving said gun on the kitchen table? I grew up in a house with guns behind every door and in more drawers than I could count at the time. The difference is education, discipline, and no mystery as to what the gun was (a tool) and what it could do (kill).

They had a decent reason in those days, with the passage of time it is clear they are wrong.

Wow... Not sure what to say on that. Other than, once again, you you're showing yourself to be incredibly niave, and oblivious to the lessons history teaches us.

Their reasons are as important today as they were then. You can live on your knees if you like, but your right to do so shouldn't affect those of us who would prefer to stand.

Regardless, there is no way of changing it now.

Again, let me correct you. There IS a way to "change" it. We have a well established process in place to change our Constitution. If you feel so strongly about it, get out and so something to affect the change. Get involved, get the votes and do your best to Amend the Constitution of these United States. I wish you luck. You're going to need it.

No it wouldn't.... the unemployed would fill the ranks.

If she's there specifically to listen to the skydiving noise, as in actively listening FOR it, wouldn't the noise be perceived 'louder' than someone standing next to them who were, say, not paying attention to the circus around them?

I'm envisioning the safety briefings.....

...the fork didn't make her fat.

are you saying its hard to put on a rig with out b12 buckles?

I'm not saying it's hard... by my old fat ass finds its much easier with the B12 snaps. I've had them on every rig I've ever owned, and just can't see me changing in this lifetime.

You've asked 3 questions about options... what about some others? ie: (and there are others)
- 7cell or 9 cell. What do you want to do and get out of your canopy? Interested in CRW? Demo's? swooping? keeping and maintaining your originally issued landing gear?
- leg pads. Padded ones cool. Extra padding is nice.
- B12 snaps. Were you a gymnast in a past life? I wasn't, and I'll prolly never have another rig w/out em.
- hard riser inserts. These may come in handy if you opt for a soft loop reserve rip cord.
- The container. Do you like Ford, Chevy, or imports? What's popular where you normally jump? Why?

I don't have any answers for you, just some additional questions you might want to answer for yourself before laying out a ton of cash and wishing 'if only I'd of thought of that before I ordered....'.
