You don't think prosecutorial abuse happened?

Please help with seeking Clarity instead of Agreement (Dennis Prager's line). I don't want to debate individual issues. Rather than trying to seek AGREEMENT about any particular issue, how about we seek CLARITY about an OVERALL philosophy? Who are the progressive leaders? Who closely represents your "philosophy" on the issues of the day? Please exclude people that were/are primarily just spiritual leaders, such as any religions prophets. However someone like Jesse Jackson I think should not be excluded because I think he is more of a political leader than religious. It doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they say, let us please not demand purity/innocence from sin. Think "big picture", not "tiny detail". Remember, the focus is to be on the notable "thinker/philosopher/leader", not a particular issue, so if you think a guy I like about economic issues is lousy, then don't just attack him, tell us who is a better leader. My quick/not at all comprehensive list to start, with no implication intended by order: Thomas Sowell Milton Friedman Larry Elder Ronald Reagan Ben Shapiro Jordan Peterson Dennis Prager William F. Buckley Jr. Walter Williams...and I'll think of many others... Please don't bother telling me any of these are on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate group list. Thank you in advance for participating, let's seek clarity over agreement.

Should not be a surprise that the hysterical fear mongering about Trump's impact was not correct. It is Biden's weakness that should be highlighted.

I just did. A really popular movie was made by conservatives with the title, "What is a Woman". ...get back to us.

I didn't say that, or even close. Your disinformation wallows in a vast sea of lameness. DEI is supposed to mean diversity equity and inclusion, but it is actually an excuse to be a bully with a cloak of virtue for yourself.

DEI is toxic and divisive and a lot of other awful stuff. Y'all can't even admit that adult human female is a good definition of a woman. Too afraid to offend your rabid progressive lunatic fringe base. Here in the real world, your disinformation campaign was ignored. You LOST.

Two things can be true at the same time. Not so hard to understand. So much entitlement on display. So much condescension, which means you talk down to people.

How could a person be against apple pie and baseball? DEI, as it is in the real world, is awful and will rightly DIE along with other wokeness. DEI was intended to replace the meritocracy, which is a horrible goal. Democracy at work, truth to power, elections have consequences.

"There was always talk of it." What BS. There was the talk about how we should not allow talk about it on social media, because it will promote vaccine hesitancy and all the rest. In fact there was a lot more than "talk" about not allowing the talk, actions were taken against people whose unforgivable act was to voice dissent. If you missed that, YOU weren't paying attention.

Please, tenaciously hold on to your ability to not self-reflect. Keep up the "It's not me, it's you", that will do just fine. https://babylonbee.com/video/new-kamalexa-amazon-echo-rambles-and-never-answers-your-questions

A bit safer? There was no room for talk of possible safety concerns before. Gets harder to remember what to lie about, darn it!

I remember an FBI official testifiying before congress about how his bosses had decided to fundamentally change the way hate crimes were reported to artificially boost the numbers. This claim about hate toward women is likely similar. AWFL women ought to try spreading around less hate, as it certainly generates replies, which of course must be counted as hate... I live in Springfield, Ohio. How would you know whether pets have been eaten? Gullibility level is off the charts to take the word of the local officials that have every incentive to not admit it. You might still believe Jussie Smollet was the victim of a hate crime. https://babylonbee.com/news/ladies-please-check-the-mail-as-your-handmaids-tale-outfit-should-be-arriving-today

If only y'all had been more hysterical when informing us of your disinformation, we might have believed it. Try running around with your hair on fire next time. You can do better, but you will have to put in the hard work.

Your ability to assess what is inevitable does not exist. https://babylonbee.com/news/trumps-cabinet-picks-are-unqualified-says-party-of-pete-buttigieg-rachel-levine-kjp-sam-brinton

If y'all hadn't been spreading so much disinformation such as this...

If only y'all had told us before the election. Wonderful strategy to blame the awfulness of the electorate, please keep it up.

Why are the others dead? Was it that long ago?

Thread bump: This is a good alternative to traditional ripstop repair tape, however this thread may lead me to conclude there is no problem with the traditional repair tape. https://www.seattlefabrics.com/54-Insignia-Cloth-Adhesive-Backed-Polyester-2695-linear-yard_p_60.html I had heard some say traditional ripstop tape is best applied with heat (with a clothes iron) to seal the tape which is supposed to be put on both sides of the fabric to be repaired. The insignia tape has been on a canopy of mine for a few months, about 50 jumps or so on a few locations. It seems to be fantastic, there is no hint of the edges lifting or wear of the fabric itself. This stuff works great on jumpsuits, especially since it does not have the square weave pattern to set it apart visually. From the Seattle Fabrics website: Insignia Cloth Adhesive backed polyester fabric for numbers, letters, and graphic designs. No sewing is required. Printed grid pattern on adhesive paper makes this an easy job. The 54 inch wide roll from which this material is cut from opens it up to applications a narrow tape roll doesn't allow. What do you think?

Some people might want to think it could be a major draw for a really big boogie...

I've noticed areas of slinks and the top of risers looking "polished". At first I figured it was due to physical wear from long term contact with vibration from the slider flapping, but later realized it is from the grommets being hot due to line friction, and partial melting of the material. Now protection is provided with large link covers/slider stops similar to what you might see on a tandem rig. I use wide risers, do those using narrow risers not experience this so much because their slider comes farther down the riser before stopping, perhaps spreading out the transfer of the heat? Do my Dacron lines perhaps generate more heat than the newfangled types? It seems the Dacron lines themselves do not suffer.
