  1. He did. My suspicion is that's operating cost sans profit. Ad revenue would be up to a new owner for profit. The important part of the offer would be the active user metrics.
  2. She is looking for Permissive Use. D. - Apologies, but I have none. Best to LawRocket
  3. HH Thank you for so many years of being able to not only connect with my fellow skydivers, but to communicate with them in a group. I have developed new lifelong friendships from here. I wish you well in your future endeavors.
  4. Robert Pooley, 49, of Acampo, was sentenced on Monday after being found guilty in May of running unauthorized tandem skydiving courses at the beleaguered site in San Joaquin County that has seen 28 deaths since 1985. After Pooley’s certification as an instructor was suspended in 2015, he continued to train more than 100 new instructors using the digital image of the signature of another certified instructor to sign off on training courses. Pooley charged around $1,100 for each training course. “Pooley falsely told students that he was a tandem examiner,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement Monday. “After those deaths, numerous victims of Pooley’s scheme asked for their money back, but he did not repay them.” ### One of Pooley’s trainees was Yong Kwon, a 25-year-old who had recently moved to California from South Korea. On Aug. 16, 2016, Kwon was paired with first-time skydiver Tyler Turner for a tandem jump. Both men died on impact in a nearby vineyard after Kwon was unable to successfully open either the main or reserve chutes. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/california-skydiving-instructor-lodi-imprisoned-19807333.php
  5. During this period of 15 jumps to downsize; I would suggest you work with an Instructor or Coach to work through the Downsizing Checklist.
  6. I'm old. You're older. :)
  7. Well, brother. The three she's surfacing ain't young.
  8. If Kamala brings on one of the old white guys to be her VP - is that a DEI hire?
  9. Can't say that I blame him. You know of anyone that ever won an argument against an older angry black woman? If she takes her shoe off - you're in deep shit.
  10. So, your goal here was to make Jerry feel like shit because he spent his life helping family and is now on a fixed income. Oh look, Joe's telling us in a different way that he's rich - again. Cause, ya know, nothing makes a man feel like a man by causing a young lady concern about her foundation. God forbid you forgo a bottle of wine on the yacht this week.
  11. Ahh, so you do know the difference between sex education and porn.
  12. Then teach the parents what to teach. They are the child's first teacher. You're assuming "the state" knows better for all parents. How do you think they became parents.
  13. My [limited] understanding was not maintained, but enough to create the vacuum resulting in an "implosion-type" effect resulting in unrepairable structural damage. My suspicion is the matter will be resolved (change out the glue?). One thing about Musk is he can force people to think about alternatives.
  14. Were we perfect; no. But it was a path. We got to where we are today because of it. There were many reasons the framers let slavery exist within the colonies in the beginning while opposed to it. I'm going to be offline for a few days - If you would like to know more about the depth of it - I would recommend Professor Rakove's book, https://www.amazon.com/Original-Meanings-Politics-Making-Constitution/dp/0679781218
