This is a fantastic place to visit with some jumping included. I'm planning on returning at some point. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Excellent article. I liked the point: "The result is that everyone sees a different version of the internet tailored to create the illusion that everyone else agrees with them." I too detest Facebook. Online, I'm more about privacy than sharing all my personal details - I just don't understand it. However, you end up with scenarios such as people putting information for an event only on Facebook thus requiring a login. So I created a fake name with full fake contact details (I wonder how many of Facebooks user numbers are actually fakes like myself).

I think Jesus would have stayed in the Paris Accords. A view shared by all other G20 nations. However, I see on the internet that Trump is a "genius" - actually a "very stable genius"; so I understand that you must concur with the viewpoint (Trump's, not Jesus' of course) "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

That's really a query for you and your family. That said there are many people with children who jump actively. I myself have a 5yr old and an 11yr old (my older son did a tandem last year himself). Of course, it's not cool to spend all you weekends at a dropzone, if you have a wife/kids, but once trained you can spread out the jump time. I get away for the occasional day and intermittently go off for a jumping weekend away (sometimes taking the whole family). "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I'd never harm an animal, but I'm just not a "dog person". It may sound harsh, but if you've got a dog that's gone a bit mad; have it put down. When all children and vulnerable persons have been attended to, then we can spend time with cats/dogs. I live the global capital of dog lovers (the UK is dog crazy), but I find it odd that "dog people" just don't get that not everyone are in love with dogs.

Not always possible to sell, buy or even give away a jump to someone else. At a recent visit to a British-owned dropzone in Europe, I wanted to pay for two other jumpers tickets for one jump. They don't allow this as all jumps must come off the indiviuals own accounts - quite a pain. Since I started jumping in 2002, I've always had some unused jump tix in my gear bag. I commend those DZs that honour the purchase, but I've lost many hundreds of Pounds/Dollars/Euros to those that don't. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

We have this same pitbull "shit" in the UK. Misunderstood breed? That's utter bullshit; they're trash dogs for trash people. You never hear of a story of a cocker spaniel going mad and killing or biting a child's face off. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Thanks for that link, I didn't know about these changes to the FAA Medicals. I have both FAA & EASA PPL(H) licenses, so must hold both FAA Class III and EASA Class II medicals. Now that I'm 50 yrs old, I have to do the EASA every year and the FAA every 2yrs. Having both for over a decade, I find the EASA side far more onerous and expensive. I just did my EASA which costs £300 with the mandatory ECG. The FAA one is usually in-and-out in 45mins and $75 please. On both sides, I've personally run into several "nutcase" AME's. If someone has a problem, definitely go see another doctor with understanding of the specific issue. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I did my AFF is South Africa in 2002 when the South African Rand (ZAR) had taken a big hit against major currencies. I got: Tandem: £70 equivalent (video was only £14) AFF: £440 equivalent (including 2 consol jumps) Back in the UK, I did 10 consols at £20 each As the Tandem wasn't inlcuded as a requirement, the total for my A License was £660 As a plus I even got a custom-made carbon fibre helmet for £40 equivalent. Sadly now with BREXIT, our half-assed Pound Sterling won't be getting me any stunning deals around the globe. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Yes. It's because "John" doesn't evoke images of "brown-skinned people" as does the name "Hussein". "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Jesus was not born on 25 December; all evidence points that he wasn’t even born in the month. This fallacy just “jumped on the back” of the mid-winter pagan festivals and for modern man so neatly fits with the end of Q4 and the fiscal year. Google the research on the exact date yourself, however here’s a couple points noting extracts from your “favourite book”: 1. We know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:7-8). Shepherds were not in the fields during December. According to Celebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Luke’s account “suggests that Jesus may have been born in summer or early fall. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night” (p. 309). Similarly, The Interpreter’s One-Volume Commentary says this passage argues “against the birth [of Christ] occurring on Dec. 25 since the weather would not have permitted” shepherds watching over their flocks in the fields at night. 2. Jesus’ parents came to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census (Luke 2:1-4). Such censuses were not taken in winter, when temperatures often dropped below freezing and roads were in poor condition. Taking a census under such conditions would have been self-defeating. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

No question; buy a rig. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Irish infrastructure projects have a way not being well thought out: Here's a prior one an Irish truck tunnel that was too low for European trucks https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/latest-motorway-tunnel-too-low-for-supertrucks-25901022.html "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Yeti started selling in the UK last year. I remember reading the first review of the small “soft bag” cooler. It went: £175 for a cooler bag?? I’d rather drink warm beer. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

This is good news and a step in the right direction. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/walter-scott-police-shooting_us_5a296288e4b03ece0300a697 So finally it's acknowledged that shooting someone in the back (multiple times) while they are running away from you is not self defence.

On my visits to the US, I'm not "feeling" the freedom - seems to just be a talking point. I now find in quite oppressive in many regards. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

So, your folksy “Hillbillies go a courtin'” example lends understanding to a man (near 30yrs old) with a 14yr old girl in her panties with him trying to get her to grab his dick or forcibly trying to get another young girl to give him head? The woman below doesn’t seem the type to be seeking fame or a spot a reality TV show to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacV95jBEho You say you don’t know what to think?? What you should be thinking is “That’s fucked up” "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Yes, Volvo doesn't have a pickup truck in their vehicle lineup. Here's some Moore backing from over 50 Alabama pastors: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/alabama-clergy-supporting-roy-moore-show-crisis-in_us_5a0a5590e4b0065239218392 "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I'm a yachtsman and thought this looked "dodgy" upon first seeing the news announcement. I paused the TV and replayed pointing out all the questionable elements to my wife. Just clicked on their interview video. YES, they do both seem dim as shit. This is definitely a scam of some nature on their part. Here's some other yachtsmen take on the events: http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?/topic/194207-five-months-adrift/ "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

It’s a mathematical cohort (section of society) which is applicable here. He did not infer it was a comparison between religions. For these instances, America is actually more at ease if the perpetrator is “brown skinned”, foreign or different. It gives them a target to be angry against instead of looking introspectively. Their “Fuckwit in Chief” has already mentioned mental health when we see no discernible difference in mental health statistics among the G7.

Be careful, you could see “fire and brimstone” for teasing Ron. Similar to this Jim Bakker warning: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jim-bakker-stop-making-fun-of-me_us_59e593f3e4b0a2324d1d2f54 The article quoted the pastor as saying: “One day, you’re going to shake your fist in God’s face. And you’re going to say, ‘God, why didn’t you warn me?’ He’s gonna say, ‘You sat there and you made fun of Jim Bakker RonD1120 all those years. I warned you, but you didn’t listen.’” "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

So you say they’re professional in one sentence and note they’re quick to “lose their shit” in the next sentence. Being impolite in not a crime. You often give your “world view”, but then note you seldom venture beyond your small mountain town. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Profiling (as performed by US police) is merely another racial injustice. If performed according to your specs, the 64yr old white guy that shot up Las Vegas would be free to pass while the police checked out the "brown people" "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Yes, I'd do it but; - no photos/video (just cool memory) - insist on aircraft with side-by-side seating with jumpers sitting boy-girl "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

It seems that Trump's plan is to first set fire to the house, so he can then try to put out the fire and say "look I made everything better". "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
