  1. Golf gloves are very thin and might be a good choice for very hot weather. They are typically not as cheap as basic baseball batting gloves. Even without holes, any single layer leather gloves can be uncomfortably cold, but some are more tolerant to this of course. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  2. People get in trouble when they use ski type gloves, where the inner and outer layers are separated with insulation and allows relative movement between your hands and the outside of the glove. Appropriate gloves will not interfere with your emergency procedures. Baseball batting type gloves (thin single layer leather) are very typical and many use them even in very hot summer weather. In cold conditions adding a liner such as a stretchy latex glove adds a huge amount of insulation without interfering with your ability to feel your handles. It feels great to have the wind on your hands in the summer, but there are many ways to injure your hands while skydiving, and even a thin layer of leather prevents you from bleeding.

  3. I did not say (c) See if you can realize that. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  4. Can you really not see the logical contradiction here? I say there should be no laws making ordinary political vitriol illegal. Even a reporter on national TV wishing Cheney would die of a heart attack or Obama instructing followers to get in the face and argue with their neighbors qualifies as protected free speech. I think that same reporter qualifies as a person that should be criticized for political vitriol that has gone too far, but no law should be allowed to prevent it. Free speech allows people to be assholes, and for others to criticize them for being assholes. I assert that liberal congressional leadership and media want conservatives to 'civilize' their rhetoric because they want them to implement a self censorship, one that liberals cannot enforce by law. No contradiction is present, can you really not see that? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  5. It is about bullshit. The lying author uses crappy analogies, relies on the fantasy budget numbers forced upon the congressional budget office, and tops it off with this real whopper: After his recent Tucson shooting verbal diarrhea and now this - how in the hell does this guy have a job? Because his bosses like his politics is the 'logical' conclusion. He is waging a war on truth. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  6. That sounds bad. How did you test it? I think it would be premature to assume there is any actual testing involved in this conclusion. Do you think that Aerodyne put this material out without proving its durability or distortion characteristics? Aerodyne has data showing that the ZPX fabric has better long term strength. That is of course different than rigidity (distortion). I have asked Aerodyne to address this issue, rather than having speculation fuel assumptions. Let's give them a little while to respond. I'm very happy with the perfomance of my ZPX Pilot, and obviously many people have the fabric on their canopies, and it seems like the only complaints I've read of on this site are extremely rare and very vague.

  7. If you think that is some gotcha admission, then what your saying isn't remarkable or important. Your elitist, smug attitude is showing clear as day. Did I ever say that vitriol can't inspire someone to kill? I think not. Of course ordinary political vitriol can inspire the lunatic fringe to violence. Who doesn't acknowledge that? Big difference between acknowledging that and taking another huge step to say that Palin is responsible for the attempted assassination of Giffords. Libs fall for the lie that conservative rhetoric is so much worse than that from liberals. Vitriol should not be illegal. Those that spew vitriol are subject to criticism. That is the way it should be, the way free speech requires it to be. Pressure on conservatives to stop the vitriol is a way of enforcing a soft censorship. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  8. Wrong! I say that conservative vitriol was not to be blamed because Loughner gives all indications of being a liberal. He has been described by those that knew him as a big liberal, hated bush, and so it makes perfect sense to say that he would not be taking cues from Palin. Can you understand that? It does make perfect sense to say that he might be taking cues from liberal sources of vitriol, because Giffords was not liberal enough for many, didn't even vote for Pelosi. Who do you think inspired the Discovery Channel shooter? The answer lies a lot closer to Al Gore than Limbaugh. There are many examples of high profile shootings in history which have been inspired by liberal ideology, so that is why I say that libs should be the first to stop the vitriol of which they are so profoundly guilty. Actually, I don't think the vitriol should or can be stopped, I just want libs to stop pretending they are pure in that regard. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  9. No its actually a liberals, moderates and RINO's suck thread because the perceptions of the fringe right sees ANYONE who does not agree with them as an evil liberal. The fringe right is not very good with anything other than their white white world. They have no shades of gray. Perhaps it would be appropriate for you to start a "keep the vitriol" thread. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  10. What about those stick pins that are used on mapping software to indicate a geographic location? That implies voodoo violence, wishing harm upon the people of a location, just like sticking a pin in a voodoo doll to harm an individual person. Ban crosshairs! Ban stick pins! So what are we going to use to indicate a point on a map, that will be free from politically incorrect criticism? Perhaps a hand with a pointy-finger will be gentle enough, as long as the hand also has a nice looking shirt-sleeve/cuff. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  11. Perhaps taking a break from SC is in order. This is a completely different angle compared to what has been in play, I think. Anyway, I certainly have not been guilty of starting multiple threads related to the same basic incident. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  12. At first I said it was stupid to use the targets in political ads. I have changed my mind. I don't even think any of the ads had a target/crosshair that was actually on a picture of a person, they seemed to just be on a geographic map. Anyway, since libs were perfectly OK with saying that they wished someone would kill their political opponents, I think that conservatives should not give in to the new political correctness by removing the targets. If the media want to talk about how it is so 'bad', then they should also address the violence advocating, vitriolic rhetoric that has been a staple of liberals for decades. Bring back the targets! Don't give in to liberal PC! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  13. What backs that up? Aerodyne has testing that shows the fabric is stronger when new and after long term abuse. I can understand being skeptical, but what backs up your assertion? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  14. An ordinary commercial jetliner has the baggage compartment pressurized just like the rest of the cabin. Although it might get a bit colder than the rest of the cabin, it is also heated and will not get nearly as cold as the outside temp. Even if it wasn't pressurized and heated, it still would not be a problem.

  15. What? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  16. Is there any timeline on when this would come up in the state legislature? I would think that the AOPA would also be interested in fighting this, as it could spill over into similar battles against them. There is a lot more clout available (lobbyist power and constituent numbers) in politics when it involves airplanes. I sure hope the USPA will try to get them in on fighting this. Maybe also other sport aviation activity groups - hangliders and others. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  17. How cold is cold enough? How do exterminators make a place cold enough - bring in mega portable refrigeration units? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  18. And why do you suppose she did that? Was that a serious question? The first step in triage is to stop the bleeding. Then you spin what you did by saying they're surveyor symbols. But no matter what, you still replace anything that hints at trouble in the aftermath of an event like this. Yes it's a serious question. If she's done nothing wrong, if all they were were surveyor symbols, why should she be compelled to retract them? Surveyor or scope, I don't think there is a distinction that matters. It is lame to try and claim a difference because of that distinction. No surprise that the cross hairs would be removed now, people generally comply with PC norms.

  19. Fixed it for you So the right is trying to pin this shooting on the vitriol coming from the left? Cool show me where please Actually, I have brought that up, but really just to show how ridiculous it is. It does make a lot more sense though, compared to blaming conservative vitriol, so I keep bringing it up. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  20. I heard a very old highly respected psychiatrist that talked about how much more difficult it is lately to have a person involuntarily committed. Can you address that issue? Is it because of the reforms under Reagan? Do you think reform was needed but went too far? Please let us know what you think about the changes and what you'd like to see from an insider's perspective. You claim to have a high threshold for when you want to do this, but even if someone meets that standard, is it hard to make it happen (forced treatment/involuntary commitment)?

  21. Your gear will weigh more than 20 lb total - shoes, helmet, jumpsuit, clothes, altimeters, etc. so you're going to be more than 170 lb. Many very experienced jumpers are at a wingload of about 1:1 even though they have the experience to use a much smaller canopy. I just like having a nice soft landing, still find my big canopy to be fun to fly, and I am more likely to still be able to walk without a limp for more decades of jumping.

  22. Eating a lot of meat, not enough fiber, etc. leads to needing a lot of time. Seriously, if you're needing a lot of time, things aren't working right. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  23. I said that it was stupid, how is that defending? You didn't react stroingly enough to over compensate for his bias. Hence you defend.
  24. That would be a great move. Selling it to us at a discount would have the same effect. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  25. That was really pathetic, vast sea of lameness and all of that rot... People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
