  1. Today’s mass shooting in Pittsburgh seems already on the usual track. White male, AR15, Dumbass in Chief saying you need more guns... "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  2. Don't know what you've been doing with your spare time, but (judging from your grammar & punctuation) it certainly hasn't been spending time in an English class. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  3. The news is discussing his mental acuity & capacity now. He’s got Trump stickers on his van. I think that definitively answers the query ... not very fucking intelligent. They’re describing him as the “MAGA Bomber” here; is it the same in the US? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  4. Great photo. I've got a array of three 24" monitors and it looks really cool opened across all three monitors as one photo. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

    OK. Game on!

    I'm curious about the non-lethal mousetraps. So it works and I now have an angry/scared mouse in a box - what am I going to do with that? I also live in London, so where is this wilderness that I am to release it, so that it lives out its days with its mouse friends? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  6. Is that true? I'd love to get a chance to jump that. Any more info anywhere? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  7. Watching the news, the one item that works great are their outdoor microphones - they've definitely got that tech sorted. The reporters may be barely able to stand against the wind, but you can hear them crystal clear. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  8. Watching the weather (NC & SC areas for Hurricane Florence), it seems the public gets fixated on the Hurricane “Level” number and don’t really look into the details which can potentially be disastrous. I have friends that live in these coastal areas and been speaking with them on the phone. One contact noted “I’m on higher ground than “in town”, but I just looked at the elevation map and town is 6ft elevation; he’s only 8ft. He’s 75 so I’m certain he’s not ever checked this on the internet. Being a pilot and yachtsman, I’ve studied weather for years, but note now that even though we have the best available resources, models and methods to disseminate the information – we’ve “dumbed” it down. I’m watching this on television now and there is not a single mention of the air pressure. With silly descriptions like “heat index” and “wind chill”, the mainstream weather reports today just simply about “do I need a jacket or umbrella today”. I hope that those that think a category 1 or 2 hurricane is nothing to really be concerned about, don’t find the contrary. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  9. Seems I was born on a good month: http://playmate.uw.hu/html/6612.html "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  10. No, I think you'll find Britain got the Industrial Revolution started. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  11. I see the Trump Organisation’s CFO was granted immunity today. Along with the National Enquirer’s head. The Trump CEO has been in the Trump Org since the 1970’s; so can surely provide some good info. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  12. We're OK with the rest of the world misspelling or mispronouncing English words, but we expect that others at least use the correct word. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  13. Correct, but it was in reference to the word “probability” not probable. Queens English please; now we can return to our fun and games here. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  14. Those words actually do mean roughly the same thing. Probability is the measurement of the likely outcome. However, I get where you were going with this - "probable" which is a likely outcome. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  15. Yes, posted in wrong forum accidentally (did it on my iPhone); possibly a moderator can move it. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  16. Watching the news just now; this is starting to get fun. Meanwhile, while this is happening, he’s on his way to one of his trademark white trash festivals (AKA Trump Rally). "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  17. 1) Your FAI "A" doesn't expire (whether provided by USPA or BPA), however your USPA/BPA membership(s) expire every 12 months and must be renewed. 2) At 50 jumps and a 10yr layoff; yes some refresher training is definitely advised. 3) Cypres (of prior years) expired at 12 years past date of manufacture; the 4 & 8 year service intervals had a +/- 6mo grace period. As you noted it was a Cypres 1, it is quite possibly expired and now a paperweight. Take your logbook and all equipment to the DZ and have a chat with them; they'll get you back in the air.

  18. On a complete side note, living in the UK, we never see Alaska Airlines planes, so whenever I see a photo of one of their fleet, my first thought is "Why is there a picture of Bob Marley on the tail fin"? Only when I can see the rest of the of the photo, do I realise "Oh, Alaska; it's an Inuit" On the event, I did like the attached photo which was on a pilot forum.

    Gas prices

    But we spend it on stuff like healthcare and get the upside of not having file to for bankruptcy over a simple hospital stay. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  20. Ron, while I too think Facebook is a "shit pit". Your post of the stock price is conflating two unrelated issues and events. I'd advise you to give economics and finance a miss and stick to Jesus-related topics. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  21. Does that include the "clean" coal that Donald Trump tells us about? It must be good because he adds extra enunciation when he says the word "clean"; even says it twice. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  22. In my day-to-day interactions, I don't encounter people like you. As I have little desire to visit backwoods hick towns and interact with the locals, I'm certain we will never meet. This general "fucking about" on the internet is one thing, however I find it unbelievable that you would attempt to interfere with someone's real life/business. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  23. The London Trump Protest is going great. Finally, The Orange One is actually drawing large crowds - for real; not just his boisterous talk. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  24. OUCH... I flew an hour in the P51 "Crazy Horse 2" in Kissimmee. On the way out to the practice area the instructor asked if I wanted to take it easy or fly more aggressively. I replied "I've paid a lot of money; I want to fly the hell out this thing" - which we did; a lot of fun and highly recommended. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  25. I so hope an interviewer asks Prince Philip what he thinks of Trump. Oh please; oh please "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
