Here's a video that explains it well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxwPcUh97oc "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I also Googled "Krytron" out of curiosity. Great, now we're all on NSA/MI6 lists for doing web searches on nuclear bomb switches. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I'm curious how the internet blog of an ophthalmologist is going to give great insight into geopolitics. I lived in the US for 18 years; so have a fair understanding of what the US is like. For the last God Damn time on "Freedom" here are some numbers: The planet has 196 countries of which: 125 are electoral democracies 86 are free and while I'm at it... 38 have red, white & blue flags You're not that God Damn special.

In much of Europe (not UK), it is often size/weight limited with confirmed authorizations from both parents. Example: minimum 35kgs and 130cm for Spain. My oldest son did his first tandem last year at age 10. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

My bad, I was purposefully "winding him up" "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I welcome intelligent opposing viewpoints; but you’re not giving me anything to work with. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

You agitate too easily. You’d be anyone’s bitch in a real boardroom debate/negotiation. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

A lie... Well you can be my errand boy and go get us some verified data. You’re our local forum clown, but how are you on the side of school shootings? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

18th school shooting in US in 2018. Damn, it’s barely mid February. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

We're legally/technically metric, but yes use mph. A few other countries also are metric, but in practice have a few leftovers. I always berate people when they use "stone" for body weight. This is truly the most antiquated half-assed and medieval of all measurement - you are effectively saying "I am as heavy as this many big rocks". "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Good point "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

It’s Angola & Myanmar (just three nations). The US is in good company in the non-metric club of nations. I remember the 1970’s metric plan; it was a really half-hearted attempt. It has to be a pain being a mechanic with two sets of tools. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I”ve got a query. It’s 2017, why is “inches of mercury” still being used in America. Hectopascals dammit; get with the programme. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Cool, I was watching this truck movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SutDTIhbQ2g and concerned about crazy truck drivers, but now (w/ new tech) we just tap our brakes in front of them and the killers can't get us. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

That’s a good video. Yes, everyone should see that if a job is either repetitive, dirty or dangerous - it’s days are numbered. I also agree that tech advances will reach much higher up the professional/specialist chain. On this specific one, the US trucking industry comes not just with the background of being highly fragmented, but with added American ideals inbuilt into it – the open road / freedom / you’re your own boss. US transport truck designs still embody this with chrome/adornments on what is just a utility vehicle. Trucking is just about getting shit from A-B cheaply. Technology will march on in many industry sectors, but this one is going to have a little more “sting” to the American blue-collar working man psyche. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

On a side note, I do like how this forum has marked all the most dumbass comments with a bright multi-coloured balloon. It’s a nice feature and allows for easier use on small mobile device screens. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I see here www.daksovernormandy.com that they will be providing some civilian flights in the UK and France. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I've got to call "Shenanigans" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42914571 You can accidentally shoot 1-2 people, but accidentally shooting 5 people? Didn't know it was a real gun? I'll bet this story would have a different spin if he she had darker skin or wore a hijab. Just after the arrest there was a photo of her, but it seems the net has been scrubbed clean - she looked like your standard-issue suburb school girl. Besides our resident gun nuts here on SC have educated us on how guns don't just accidently discharge. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Just watched the first part of the NBC Evening News; they oddly spent more time on how not to catch the flu at the Superbowl than on getting shot at school. Priorities? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Today's shooter is a 12yr old girl. Damn, no evil Muslim terrorist again! In reading the story, I see the usual "thoughts & prayers" bullshit then the acticle notes they don't know how she got a gun - yeah? like it's difficult to find a gun in the US. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

The effective average tax paid by Fortune 500 companies over the prior years is 21.2%. There's a difference between the statutory rate and that which is actually paid. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

This article says it's the 11th https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/school-shootings-2018_us_5a68586de4b002283007ef83 However, we've got another week left in January, so still yet to be seen how the gun folk get the year started. Sadly, for this specific metric USA is actually #1. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Thanks, I had a look at that one also. Looked on Google Maps and distances from near Cape Town waterfront (I used The Cullinan Hotel) are: 38km Skydive Cape Town 78km Mother City SkyDiving 159km Skydive Robertson "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I've jumped at Skydive Cape Town www.skydivecapetown.co.za, but haven't been there is a few years. I see you listed a new one (Skydive Robertson), but after looking see it is the group that formerly worked out of Citrusdal where I've also jumped and was a great area. Skydive Cape Town is near Melkbostrand (with coast views). Skydive Robertson's area is nice but is 3x longer drive from Cape Town (see attached). Do you have any comparison of the two for Cape Town jumping? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I’ve considered and looked into this for years, using real technicians, not just asking random folk on the internet. This includes software teams hired from MIT used by both Goldman, JP Morgan and large funds with unlimited budgets– not just me talking. The top three would be: Kaspersky Bitdefender ESET NOD 32 By all means avoid McAfee & Norton; they’re both shit bloatware and you will never get rid of them fully (excepting a reformat of your hard drive) should you ever wish to remove them. The technicians I use say a good portion of their business comes from people using McAfee & Norton For both work and home, I presently use Kaspersky Total Security, an occasional run of MalwareBytes and a daily clean of cache/cookie rubbish using CCleaner.
