Dude, don't stand in the swoop lane. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

You have labeled belief as knowledge, and non-belief as belief. Backwards x2. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Your own "evidence" works against you. If people being "changed" by your religion is proof that it is true, then people who aren't changed by it (many) are proof that it isn't true. People worshipped the sun for far longer than they have worhsipped Jesus, and they were all "optmistic and joyful" too. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Damn, I've always said that same thing, word for word. It's also hardly "humble" to claim knowledge of things which are unknowable, hundreds of questions which have plagued man since the beginning of time... where do we come from, where are we going, why are we here? Pure humility is admitting that we just can't know the answers to those questions. And since we can't, then let's stop worrying about it just fucking enjoy our life here and now.

Landscape isn't standard... go get a skydiving magazine off your shelf and see what shape it is. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Actually I have a hard time believing you ARE real, after reading all this nonsense. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

As a young, pliable child (a sheep, as the good book puts it) I did all of the above, and received no great revelation... then or ever. So you just made a promise (with all your heart) that you can't keep. Although I've got to admit this is a really good example of a Catch-22. Let's examine this train of thought: If you don't believe in the power of God... Submit fully to him... Then he will reveal his true power to you. The "catch" is that you can't fully submit to something if you don't understand it. And by your own admission, you won't fully understand it until after you've submitted. But if you submit to it, not having fully understood it, then that would be a false submission, since your previousing understanding of what you were submitting to was false, since it hadn't revealed itself to you yet. I could tell you that you wouldn't full understand the power of Satan (or the Loch Ness Monster) unless you fully submitted to it. I could promise you that with "all my heart." Only after fully submitting and bowing before the beast, would the beast reveal to you the truth: that you were wrong all along and it was really a good and loving beast and could only reveal that to you after you had asked it to. If I told you that, would it convince you to go bow to the beast? In essence, what you've said is that "you can only believe in it if you want to." Well, of course that's true. And you probably have some pretty good reasons for wanting to believe in it... apparently those beliefs help you control a drug addiction you couldn't control on your own. But you can't go "promising" other people that their willingness (or desire) to believe will "make things true" for them too. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

What is the best etch-a-sketch, and what settings should I use? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I don't even want the gum back, it's not the money I care about. If I had cared about it I would have locked it up, as I lock up anything else worth more than $5. But that's just a precaution against something I don't expect to happen, which is a thief in the office. Now that I know there is a thief in the office, I (and others) would like him gone. I will continue locking up my good shit and leaving out my cheap shit, and they can steal all the cheap shit they want until they're busted. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

It might keep your blood pressure down to stop arguing with us young ones about our self righteousness. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

You're right, the assumption is a bit unfair, but I'm still leaning that way. Although I'm NOT ruling out that it's a co-worker. I've never left out expensive things because of this, I keep my car keys and cell phone and iPod either locked up or on my person. I left the gum out because it was just gum... but it still pisses me off... not that I lost a pack of gum, but that somebody with that mentality works in this building. I'm willing to waste a dozen more packs of gum as bait to figure out who it was. They've already taken two in a row, let's see if they'll go for number three. Boy, they must think I'm stupid leaving that in the same place every day (and they might be right!). www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Because someone in this building had her purse stolen and it's possible it's the same guy... I'd rather have him fired than get the shits. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

So, I came into work yesterday morning and thought for sure I had left a pack of gum on top of my desk that was no longer there. Whatever, I'm probably crazy and chewed it all. So I go across the street to the gas station, buy another. Last night I intentionally left that full pack of gum sitting out to see if it would be gone this morning. It was. My guess is the cleaning guys, duh. Seems some other people around here have reported similar things. Can I get some sort of cheap webcam that I can conceal in a corner of my cube and take shots frequently enough (every 2-3 seconds maybe, or only when motion occurs?) that I can catch the jerk in the act? I would love nothing more than to figure out who this is and, assuming it is a cleaning guy, take the photo to the head of the janitorial staff and get the guy fired. Yes, the simple solution is to lock up my shit at night. But I worked in a cubicle for 5 years for this same company (Lockheed) in another city and always left crap all over my desk and it was always fine. This is not very common and this guy needs a new job and he needs to get the fuck out of this building. I need technical advice on what sort of webcam to use and how to set it up (I'll figure out how to conceal it). A wide angle would be nice, to catch the whole cube, but if not I should have it aimed in the right place depending on where the gum is. Or maybe I build some simple electrical circuit to a really loud buzzer, and leave the pack of gum on top of a slim concealed switch that will trip that circuit. Then I camp out late at night in one of my neighbor's cubes and wait for the buzzer to go off. Funniest part is that there's usually a giant handful of change on my desk and that's never been touched, even when they take the gum. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

What kind of parachute should you use to skydive? What plane is best to ride to altitude? There are no right answers to these questions, and they all involve choices and tradeoffs. I prefer top mounting. I fly an HC5 with a .55x lens. That doesn't mean those are the right choices for you. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

What does that mean? You pay half price for a helmet now and get it in 6 months? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

On my Canon camera there were 3 wires to the remote. I made a post on here somewhere before where I described what each colors was, etc... but I don't remember them at the moment and honestly color doesn't matter, there is one very simple way to figure out how to wire your switch. If your camera has a stereo plug receptacle then it is receiving two signals, and your remote wire has 3 conductors. If it's anything like mine (and I'm guessing it would be) the 3 wires are ground, focus, and shutter. The reason for all 3 is so you can use a remote that has the ability to press the button halfway down to focus but not fire shutter... obviously this does not apply to us. The "easy way to figure out which wire is which" that I mentioned above is as follows. Take your wire with the stereo plug on one end and the 3 bare conductors on the other. Insert the plug to the camera, turn it on and aim it at something it will be able to focus on and take a picture of. Touch any two wires together. There are only 3 things that can happen (3 possible combinations of 2 wires): 1) Nothing happens: you touched shutter + fire 2) The shutter fires: you touched shutter + ground 3) The camera focuses, but shutter does not fire: you touched focus + ground Once you figure out which wire is which, the easiest way to wire your SPST switch (IMO) is to short your shutter and focus conductors together. So now you only have two conductors: ground, and focus+shutter. Then every time you close your SPST switch the camera will focus AND fire. Now some people instead like too short ground+focus so the camera is continually focusing... but that never seemed desirable for me (although it could be in certain unique circumstances and shots)... also this may not work on all cameras, and wastes battery if it does work. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

You could always try installing the k-lite codec pack... always a good idea. I don't even have quicktime, I am watching it in WMP after installing the pack. At least you don't feel like Homer AFTER the chili cookoff. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

By that definition I've had dozens of baglocks. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I did not like that part of the FF3 design either, when I first saw it. I don't like sidemounts in general... but I prefer the FF2 closing method over the FF3. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Actually I gave up my copyright to that image when I posted it to Wikipedia. No worries, at that small resolution, it can't really be used for much more than that. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

There are different composite wheels that are thicker than the super thin ones that come with it. You can buy them at Home Depot, there may even be a metal wheel, I can't remember for sure. At Home Depot they usually have a rack of all of them and say what they are made out of and what materials they can cut. The one I got supposedly could even cut stainless steel but I had a pretty hard time just with the soft aluminum, though it was doable. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

What makes you think I am confused? Because the answer to your question is "yes" and does not require a poll. All it requires is a person to have sex with somebody and then die. In fact, anyone who dies (all of us) has had sex with one person (the last person they had sex with) for the rest of their life. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Which word confuses you the most? Possible? Is it possible for my house to collapse tomorrow? Is it possible for me to live to be 100? Now, it may not be possible for YOU to have sex with one person for the rest of your life, but don't go telling other people their own answers are wrong. I'm not even touching this question... just your faulty logic in your manner of asking. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
