I'm 32, so I can't answer. I always laughed at "the fish" Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Never done cross-country - how do you think a 190 wing-loaded 1:1 would do? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Have I mentioned how much I love skydiving women?? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Err - b^2 - I have an issue with the weather you ordered up in Eloy. It looks like highs in the 50s until Friday, with highs in the 60s. Should be there by Friday . 'Course, it's better than here in Denver, with today's high being 25. But I want at least 70s dammit!! Come to think of it, last time I was in Pheonix at Christmas, it was only in the 60s too, so I can't complain too much. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I prefer to know my good friend cypress is jumping with me, and I actually enjoy packing. Unlike work, I get a sense of completion out of it (most IT projects seem to die or get cancelled before they get completed), and I get a sense of satisfaction out of doing something that saves my own life.

You also need one for people who currently don't use anything. Oh wait - I guess we're talking about skydivers here. The alcohol one must be the default. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

You're asking skydivers if they like "sky" as a name? Summer is a nice name, though. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

They are way overpriced, but I saw them in their test market in Atlanta - cops and postal carriers were using them earlier this year. I thought they were very cool, but they were only supposed to be $3,500 then, and I thought even that was too much for one. You can buy a pretty nice used car for $5000. I think Kaman is going to target them at government first, and hopefully the cost will come down - I think a good target price would be $1500. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

For informational purposes only, here is a home synthesis of MDMA starting from MDA (which itself is hard to make). http://peyote.com/jonstef/mdma.htm This is a couple of days worth of work, typically, and requires constant attention. My guess is that most people find it easier to just purchase it overseas (from pharmaceutical companies) and smuggle it in than actually make it. I've done quantitative labs in college, but I would never attempt something this difficult. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I have serious doubts you could make X in a tub - if you've ever studied chem, take a look at the pathways sometime - it's a very complicated procedure. I've heard that a lot of X is cut with amphetamines, which would explain why it's so popular with kids that want to dance all night. LOL - doesn't surprise me that it was brought by by mental health "experts" - I'm pretty sure a lot of those therapists prescribe themselves plenty of the good stuff. Some of their conclusions lead me to think they're pretty high. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I kind of made the knee-jerk assumption that most Vegas dropzones are tandem factories - people looking for an adventure while they're in Vegas. I've never jumped there, so I don't know. Any one jump there that knows better? Are they mostly tandem places, or are there quite a few experienced jumpers too? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Plenty of stupid doctors out there, but they're no match for stupid people. Before my last surgery (appendix), I had to sign a waiver allowing them to revive me if I died under anesthesia. I asked what the point of that was - they said some people (usually religious people) don't want to be revived - they think if God kills them, doctors shouldn't bring them back. I told them I would be dead in a few hours if it wasn't for the doctors, so if I thought that, I wouldn't be there in the first place. Obviously, God was trying to tell me something by trying to make my appendix explode. I wonder if he'll be mad at me on judgement day for slipping one past him? Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Nothing wrong with Macs at all (since they went to a BSD kernal, anyway). But I love Mac people - they always just want to plug things in and magically it works. Ideally, computers should be this way, but in reality they don't. Any nerd like myself would have checked for hardware drivers first. I agree it's pretty stupid, but knowing stuff like that keeps me employed. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I just went back through my own log to get the qualifying jumps for my C. It's 20 jumps within 5 meters (about 16 feet) of your intended target. I didn't know if I had enough, but it turned out I had about 50 jumps that were that close to the peas (almost half of my total). If you have more than 100 jumps, you probably have 20 within 15 feet of your intended target - note that I don't think the intended target has to be pea gravel - it can be anywhere you intend to land. It's much better (IMO) to do exactly what you are doing and land somewhere free of traffic - just make sure you record that you did that intentionally. Have you been recording this in your logbook?

XTC, or MDMA, was originally created in the 20s, believe it or not, by the company that eventually merged, changed names, etc into the Merck chemical company. It was created as a diet suppressant, but upon clinical trials they found it caused a lot of "erratic behaviour". It was then shelved until it started resurfacing in the 60s as a recreational drug. But due to a difficult manufacturing process, it didn't become popular until the 80s as a club drug. It's still one of the hardest popular drugs to manufacture. And probably the only reason it is still around is because it's manufactured, very legally, in other countries (mostly European ones), before being exported to the US and other countries. And next, on the Riddler Learning Channel, we'll explore why he knows so much about a drug he's never used. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I always wondered why 420 was slang for marijuana. Anyone have the inside story on that? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Is that like Oxycodone? (The generic equivalent of percodone)? Been on that a few times. Liked it very much, thank you. Nice week that I don't remember, except for being happy a lot and sleeping. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Ohh! That makes more sense - I've forgotten my lunch plenty of times. But only really lost my lunch a few times. I'll have to try that next time I make a lunch. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Do you always look in the fridge before walking out of the house or work? Sound like a food issue to me I keep my keys in my pockets. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Due to my insatiable curiosity about drugs, I have asked many skydivers about this, and all of them have said skydiving is better than any drug. I know it works for me

you're a Politician! Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Politician which means you are a Success / Golden. Your primary sub-type is defined by "Success" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Golden" characteristics. That means you're forceful, innovative, and popular with the masses. Chances are you aggressively pursue your goals, and you enjoy impressing people. You've always been surrounded by friends and loved ones and have a natural sense of showmanship. How do we know all this? How do we know that you're perfect for any work that requires personal interaction? How could we have divined that you would never say anything that offends anyone — at least to their face? Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Politician. And that's just scratching the surface. I hate politicians. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Rent the movie "Office Space" - they have a great scene with a printer that doesn't work. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I would like people to call me illegal. It's not the legality so much as the pee tests. But I had to do that a lot when I was younger. These days, the only urine sample anyone'll get out of me is a taste test. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Nice Avatar Erno. But they need to amend the description to say "Wookiees have been known to pull people's arms off when they lose" I am Luke. As in bad actor with no real future. Too bad - things were really looking up after "Corvette Summer". I want to be Darth Maul. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
