I know two other people that got the rush option with their pit specials and it took 4 weeks. I said ah screw it, I'll wait 6-8 and... yeah it took 8... but now I have it...

ran into this little guy last summer at pahokee make with the clicking

"scientists reveal today that research can discover anything..."

if you can stand the spoon upright in the coffee... ...that's when you know it's good.

I've definitely felt the pain of walking up to my car to find the sideviews dangling by the control cable things with dusty shoe prints on them... real f$%^ing constructive...

I can assure you, it's not dropzone.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdotted

I looked at the message, and I'll be happy to comment on that now. My initial [admittedly superficial] reply was to express my detestation for the ever-growing misconception that all exchanges must be accompanied by rainbows and cookies. It reminds me of these words to the wise which, I believe hold a lot of truth. As for maintaining budgets by open spending at the end of the term so as not to lose the money the following year? Well, this happens everywhere, it's a result of bureaucracy, and while I agree it is a problem, I don't see how it relates to the relative budget appropriations in question. If you want to start another discussion about finding and eliminating waste in federal dollars spent, I think we'd have a lot of agreement. I'm not a teacher, but that doesn't mean I haven't had my eyes open as I went through schools in all kinds of different neighborhoods. My parents moved a couple times, and the districts I was in were constantly changing their borders. I saw four different types of people. -people with very little that are lazy -people with very little who are bright and motivated -people from wealthy families who are lazy -people from wealthy families who are bright and motivated Two of these are atrocities. I come from a family that's well off, and I've gotten shit about this plenty in my life. I'm apparently not expected to do anything but well in school. It's apparently not a surprise I've acquired internships and built a strong resume for an undergraduate, and how could I not get a job out of school, after all I came from a wealthy family. I'll tell you right now this is bullshit. I've worked my ass off through school to get where I am, and there's plenty of people (yourself included I'd guess) that have done the same. Giving schools more money is not going to be some miraculous solution, I think it's more important to reward hard work and motivation. I'd be more interested to see the federal government spend money to give more academic scholarships to people wanting to attend universities and let the states deal with the rest of education.

that's enough for all sport skydivers to jump free for over 17 years although somehow I have a feeling we'd all jump more if it were free /edited to add: but if we had just one oreo cookie, we could all jump for free for 215 years

I know it doesn't help you now, but this kinda interests me. I think I might try and get my hands on a dytter (whatever model) do a few tests, and try and find an led that would work. all you'd likely need is an led, some high-gauge wire, and a series resistor to regulate the current draw. Once you had the details worked out a tutorial wouldn't be too hard to put together. My only concern would be is if it would effect the performance of the device... some testing would probably be in order there.

It's called brain-lock. When you get something else (or in some cases, absolutely nothing) on your mind during a jump and you end up with a dumb look on your face and freeze up. if it didn't happen all the time... well... there wouldn't be a witty nickname for it.

That's because he's gotten soft. Death to reposters! Damn it, after taking that quiz I'm gonna be up all night downloading music (using one of the many legal music purchasing programs)

Damn, that was confusing... Now maybe if he'd have used fuzzy wuzzy teddy bears we could have opened up a real communication channel.

no no, we did. Anyway... click

This kind of banter of is all well and good as long as no one starts quoting The Cheese Shop sketch.

an exibit came to the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago a couple years ago and I visited with my sister. She has a number of photographs from the trip here /edited to add: I stole the camera and am responsible for the "hidden lily" photograph...

I understand that I'm going to have to take a polygraph test as part of obtaining "restricted security clearance" (I honestly have no idea what that even means yet) from the Department of Defense. I was kinda chuckling at the thought of someone as boring as myself being interrogated by the government.

You can see part of his bridle flapping in the wind prior to it happening. I wonder if the guy one from him CCW (with the green & black rig) noticed it at any point. I'm guessing one could pretty easily get focused on the dive flow and miss things like this? cool video, definitely making its way into my "random skydiving" folder

cool, it appears to be on again at 1am ET, I'll check it out, those guys are great.

Ah! Brian's Psychology degree strikes again.

Certainly beats being a, "What are YOU looking at" drunk.

ah! I didn't know there was a second season starting up, thanks for bumping this.

BAD. BAD AND WRONG.

Ah, that is certainly a scary thought. But it's pretty pointless to believe you can "screw up your fate." You could go on endlessly saying "oh well I was actually fated to screw up that last fate I had... NOW I'm on the right path." I think there might be something to the whole fate thing in a mechanist sense. Sure you make "choices" day to day (what you're going to have for lunch, light turns yellow and you could either stop or go through the light, which job to take out of school) but at the end of the day how many actual choices did you make? If you lived the exact same day over again without knowing it would you really do anything different?

well no, which is why I definitely don't need to be listening to techno music as well...

The only reason I ever found aybabtu funny was because I actually had the game Zerowing for the Sega Genesis as a kid, and I remember laughing too hard after the intro sequence to be able to play the game... ...it just went altogether too far. The Badger crap is just the most recent in a long line of "nonsense flash cartoons", that are supposed to be funny by not making any sense and having some catchy looping audio track. They see people with talent and think "if it's a flash cartoon it must be funny, right?"
