The more times you say that the more it starts to sound like a challenge... I, too, nominate Promise5 to take you down. You guys do realize I'm a bit of a prude, right? I say things for amusement value. Hell, I've given guys lap dances just to see them blush (fully clothed). But when it comes down to it, my personal life is pretty conservative. I am the avatar of chaos and I have never given a dude a lapdance I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Heh, when I started training back in July (Wasn't really THAT long ago) my instructors were concerned that I fell so fast (170 mph several times in those early jumps) that if I ever got away from them and "failed to act," they wouldn't be able to catch up to me to deploy my parachute. From my perspective, from jump 1 (Before we even were aware of that,) there was just one thing I absolutely had to do on that jump, and by God I was going to do it. I like the idea of the AAD, but if I realized on the ride to altitude that I'd forgotten to turn it on (Which, I might add, would be very unlikely to ever happen,) that wouldn't stop me from doing that skydive. I'm very comfortable with my altitude awareness and have been since my very first jump. If I realize on the ground that it's malfunctioning, I'd just jump rental rigs that day. In a hypothetical scenario where I have my own gear (Should be soon now!) So yeah, there are circumstances where I'd jump without it, but it's not something I'd want to make a habit of.

That does look like fun. I'll add that to the nifty videos I've run across lately, including speedfliers skiing and flying down the alps and the bridge day human catapult (I can dig either of those up and link if anyone hasn't seen them before.)

Up to 6 ounces of medical tequila. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than have to have a frontal lobotomy! I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

If you ever start actually skydiving, you'll find that male jumpers will be inviting you on jumps that are not yet safely within your skill set, all the while assuring you that you'll be OK. You won't be. Put bluntly, they're trying to get in your pants. Unless you're careful, the least that might happen is the ol' walk o' shame. The worst that could happen is a really, really bad accident on a jump. Anyhow, all the friend requests are the cyber version of this. Also, like a number of other women on this site, you have your actual photo in your avatar. Frankly, I think that's dangerous - for all you women who are reading this. Watch out for those horny gorillas! I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Enough people fall for the scams for the scammers to keep doing it. There are basically no consequences -- most of them originate from other countries and the government is effectively incapable of prosecuting or otherwise doing anything about them. Sending E-Mails or even phone calls is free with voip, and voip calls are effectively untracable, too. So get used to them, because they're not going anywhere.

Its really too bad she does just not go up into the mountains and practice those MaD cLiMbInGsKiLlZ in the Rockies and get away from all those evil skydiving demons in her head No matter how far you run, you can't escape from yourself.

We all love Point Break, but today it did something amazing for me.

Before my first jump I wondered if it'd go like this... I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? -
Is that... is that a hook coming out of it? I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

I suppose that kind of depends on how many slips of the hand you've had previously... I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

I mean how bad are we talking here? Any time you shave you're going to get some nicks. Just man up, slap some aftershave on it and carry on! If you're using a straight razor and accidentally circumcise yourself, well, that might warrant a trip to the emergency room but chicks will love your sporty new look once it heals!

I've driven that road.... in a rental.... at night.... for the first time. Ok sit on me lap, it's story time. Ok don't, I'll tell you anyway. When I first moved out here, I was driving an RX7 I paid $900 cash for. Since I moved from North Carolina and they don't actually have snow there, my tires were a little... bald. So the hotel down in Boulder near my workplace was $60 a night, and the Twin Owls Motor Lodge in Estes Park was $30 a night in the off season. So on the weekends I headed up there to save a few bucks. So one Monday I come out and there's about a quarter inch of snow on the ground. And I'm all like "I can make it into Boulder!" Because I'm an IDIOT! So I start driving and I make it up the first hill just fine and I'm like "I'm good!" Then I look up ahead and there are some elk crossing the road. So I decide to slow down early so I don't plow into an elk in half a mile. Well I barely tap the brakes and I go flying off the road and into a ditch. So I'm sitting there at a 20 degree angle, with a herd of elk looking at me like I'm retarded. After a while a snow plow comes along and he's like "Hey buddy! Want me to pull you out of there?" So I say "Yeah!" So he goes off to get chains for his snowplow, and the elk are still looking at me. After a while he comes back and pulls me out, I bump start the RX8 as he pulls me out, and I'm like "I can make it to Boulder!" Because I'm an IDIOT! So I'm going along at about half the speed I was going before, and I start sliding off the road. And I'm like "OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO DIE!" Then my tires catch and I slow down some more. So I hit the turns and there's a row of like 8 SUVs behind me going "GET OFF THE ROAD YOU IDIOT!" and I slide off to the side. Fortunately I stop before I go over the edge. All the SUVs go around and I slow down some more. Couple hours later I made it in to Boulder, and bought new tires that very day! With good all season radials on it, that car actually handled pretty well in the snow. I more than got my money's worth out of that car, though. Paid $900 for it, drove it for several months in North Carolina, then drove it from North Carolina to Colorado, then drove it out here a couple years until the exhaust system fell out of it. It was quirky as hell, but it got me around! I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Heh. Bring it out here to Colorado when you buy one! If you let me drive your Corvette on the Longmont to Estes Park to Longmont loop, I'll let you drive my Nismo on the same route! I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

You need at least a B for a lot of the really fun stuff. A few folks from the DZ keep jumping from hot air balloons every month or so. I'm comfortable with the idea of doing that, and the night jumps the DZ does during full moons through the summer. I'm thinking about taking a coach class a few of the instructors do, too. Hmm...

I'd be curious to take one for a spin to see if it handles as nice as it looks, but I'm kind of committed to the Nismo Z for the foreseeable future. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Did she poke her with a stick? It's not officially dead until it doesn't respond to being poked with a stick. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Sounds like she needs one of those "I aten't dead" signs. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

I just do that to turn the socket into a stream. You could use the old-school C-style read and write to interact with the socket instead, assuming standard POSIX sockets actually work in Windows. The server handler class has the file descriptor (fdes) in as one of its members, and it's already been opened by the socket server, so all you need to do is read and write that descriptor.

I wrote "47 Shades of Grey" once, but it was 3 shades of grey too few. I stumbled across this a while back, though. I still don't quite know what to make of it. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

It's all source code up on github. The objects are all fairly small and straightforward, so it should be pretty easy to convert them to any other language. The only thing remotely esoteric are the conversion routines that translate from one coordinate type into another, and even those aren't too bad. You really only need to be able to convert from ecef to latlong, latlong to ecef and ecef to eci. I'd start with the time routines, you need gmst and julian date for some of the conversions, and those are also fairly simple objects.

I just posted some C++ libraries for time and coordinates and a(nother) demo on my github id. fr_demo_2 reads ephemeris data from 2 day old NGA published GPS satellite ephemeris files and plots the orbits on Google Earth. (probably) requires Linux to compile and run. Definitely requires a new gcc (4.7-ish) or other compiler that implements c++11. Also requires some boost libraries. If you're into that sort of thing, check it out! https://github.com/FlyingRhenquest?tab=repositories If you're not, but have google earth installed, and want to know what the hell I'm talking about, you can download the "sample_output.kml" file from the demo directory and open it with google earth. If you don't have google earth installed, you're really missing out! You know it has a built in flight simulator, right? Install it, point it at your drop zone, fire up the flight simulator and fly your jump run! Bwahaha! Ok, I'm easily amused. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind.
