  1. I instruct, my wife builds and sells jumpsuits. On the issue of buying suits - we tell them to wait until about 20 jumps or so - get off AFF and do a few dives. Once they are doing 2 and 3-ways, then they can talk about suits. Maybe we'd sell more suits if we took advantage of them early and sold that first one without booties and fitted for their still immature fall rate - but that's not ethical. they should wait until the suit is advanced (that's pretty early), and their fallrate is a bit more understood. When someone insists...fine, they can have one built, but they get taught by both of us why it's advisable to wait just a little longer. On the issue buying rigs - I advise them to wait much longer. They need to downsize through the rentals so they don't waste money early. But shopping early for what they'll need later helps them find better deals. As for buying helmets, suits, altis,...first. It's much cheaper than a rig. As for the suit? new ones are custom and people seem to want to establish their identities through color - jumpsuits early seems to satisfy that need fairly inexpensively. ...

  2. and they wonder why they are sick...... I really hate ER rooms, 90% of the people are filthy. Medical pros have to deal with this every single day. a couple other things: A doctor friend of mine worked ER and obese people come in and have onset of (lots of stuff) - she honestly tells them to simply lose weight and it'll fix their issue. Most of them reply, "no, I'd rather just have medicine to deal with it than that". disgusting Lastly - medical pros that are fat or smoke. C'mon people, claim you're busy or not, but why is this so prevalent? you should be examples since you know how harmful that is. ...

  3. Poor John...reduced to arguing over shit like this in a desperate attempt to make a point. Must suck when your argument is so weak.

  4. Contact Perfect Jumps for Parkinson's Awareness http://www.perfectjumps.com/ He's a great guy and he's been known to share his planning worksheets and experience for other causes of this type. We've done two events for Parkinson's so far (100 in a day and 200 in a day) and 2012 will do 300 in one day. Regardless, the website might give you more ideas. Remember the goal is to raise awareness for your cause. It's not about the jumps, it should be about visibility to Autism. good luck ...

  6. you move around the sun Son in less than a perfect circle??? I guess that's another way of putting it... anthropologically speaking, sun worship and 'son' worship (in terms of christianity) are very well related in terms of mythology and in application as societal control mechanisms - it was a nice trick to carry over some of the less sophisticated prior to the 12th century ...

  7. Roundabouts, when used correctly, cars don't stop. Now how do you train idiots to drive in them when most can't even figure out the dynamic of coming to a stop at a stop sign and taking turns at 4 way intersections? I suspect that it's a waste of time gathering statistics to prove that they move more traffic than something that stops more than half the traffic over half the time. hopefully Mr. Vanderbilt got a lot of research money to prove the obvious at least on this one point. (I just checked the book). From the book, roundabouts compared to lights: - Reduce traffic delays up to 65%. - Reduce total crashes 40%. - Reduce injury crashes 76%. - Reduce fatal crashes 90%. well SURE, if you want to QUANTIFY the actual benefit rather than just get a direction of goodness assessment - then you can collect the data. Or is it Datum, I'm not sure how to phrase that in a Brit thread. Or is it datas ...

  9. but you aren't thinking the children that can't afford pie. 1st - we establish a tax and program that provides FREE pie to underprivileged children. 2nd - THEN we prohibit pie for the sake of health reasons - except for underprivileged children, you can't take away the societal pie entitlement - that would be sexist, or racist, or something-ist (I'm not sure which, but I'm sure it's something or the other). 3rd - establish a "guns for pie" initiative to get dangerous carbohydrates off the street. Oops, my mistake... I meant "pies for guns". If someone doesn't have a gun, we have government provide FREE guns for those that can't afford them. If someone doesn't come and trade for their pie, then we can just deliver the pie directly to where ever the GPS tells us the pieless waif is located. PIE for everyone (everyone I think should get pie anyway). ...

  10. Loosen it every time. Big flight improvement - even when I don't bring my slider down it's very significant. Bringing down the slider thing - no reason other than sometimes I'm just too lazy to want to push it back up past my toggles while packing - even though clearing down the slider would give me even more performance - that's very obvious. ...

  11. Yes and so was the idea of planting thick shrubbery and large obstuctive water fountains in the center... Same people that plant huge bushes on stop sign corners here in the US. They must go around the country and just do things to block vision. I suspect it's a giant body shop collective. ...

  13. Click his "reply too" back to my post. Apparently I understand perfectly.

  15. Look, it's simple: Now that Presidents are pretending they are the Supreme Court; and courts are pretending they are legislatures; and legislators are pretending to be infant clowns;.... then it's high time that policemen get to pick and choose which laws they enforce based on their personal political preferences and union loyalties it's a brave new world - one in which everyone is thinking about the children,.....except the children, they are thinking about recess,....and pie ...

It's normal on DZ.com "Post your favorite (advertise shamelessly here)" threads "Whatever thing I own is the best, therefore everything else must suck" posts\ and my favorite of all "Does anyone know where I can find (some brand of some thing) - these are REALLY great and I want one and you should too" threads (usually posted by some startup) and such ...

  17. But, it's worth it if banning modeltry of all kinds saves just one life. Not the young kind, but over their mid 20's with fully functioning frontal lobes fully developed.

  18. What we really need if a law like this ever passes, is the production rights to very cheap and disposable guns. One would make a ton of ca$h. And, even if I don't want a gun, but can't afford a GPS - I wonder if the government would pay for the GPS under the new gun tracking rule. That way, if I want a cheap (FREE!!) GPS, I could take an old gun in. And I could take it into any building I wanted to - if they point to the sign "NO Guns Permitted in this Building" - I could just claim I don't want to get lost. ...

  20. Well, if you're going to go with make-believe technology, why not go whole hog. If you want to put GPS on pork based farm animals, start a new thread. This is about hunters being able to find their way out of the woods. I'm pretty sure that's it, anyway. Some kind of neat firearms marketing gimmick. ...

  24. I'd think that if a hunter wants to know where he is and how to get home, he'd just buy his gun and his GPS separately. No need to mix unrelated features in a product. (I'm being off topic here because the actual concept of tracking personal property by the government is just too idiotic, intrusive and horrible to acknowledge. If the point is to track criminals, then plan the tracker in convicted felon's femurs.) ...

  25. You ever notice how ski boots or rollerblades seem to be built that only one or two brands actually fit the shape of your feet? And that how one brand is the BEST for your friend, but just uncomfortable for you? Some of these helmets are the same way. The ONLY way to really decide is to try them on directly. Borrow, demo, or find a good skydiving equipment shop that has multiple brands in inventory and put them on your head. And that includes the right padding for correct fitting etc..... ...
