  1. Congratulations to everyone! And fellow Texans, we got a new record to beat! "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
  2. And here's one of my Linux desktops.

    I tried it and didn't like it all that much. I wasn't as easy to see as I thought it would be. I'm getting a little better at freeing up my hands so I can look at my wrist-mount. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

    Pulltime

    You might have mistaken breakoff with pulltime. At breakoff you don't want to just go to your belly, you want to gradually transition out into a normal track. At pulltime, yeah you definitely want to be on your belly. Otherwise as you said.... WHACK!!!! "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

    For good or bad, I tend to rely on mine a lot. It's why I went out and bought a Dytter as a backup to my ProTrack. I still can sorta sense when we're getting close to turn & burn altitude, but as far as when to actually make my move, I listen to the beeper. It's kinda funny. My internal clock is now tuned to freefly times. I went on a few RW jumps and every time I'd start getting this "Shit we should be breaking now" feeling. I'd look at my alti and we'd be at 6K. By the time we got to 4K breakoff, I was getting really ancy, like we were burning it Way Low. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
  7. Wouldn't they better be qualified as "dairy"? "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
  8. Ahhhhh. Perhaps the perfect boobie thread! "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
  9. I forget where I read it, but a very large number of violent criminals had a previous history of being cruel to animals. They get desensitized to animals suffering and pretty soon human suffering is no big deal either. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
  10. One of the best media portrayals of our sport that I've seen was a show on The Learning Channel called "Risk Takers & Thrill Seekers." It was basically a profile of people who enjoy "risky" pastimes. The profiled a body surfer, a motorcycle jumper, a wing walker, a BASE jumper and some skydivers. They also followed two guys who apparently were part of the production going through AFF. They went into the psychology and physiology of risk takers and, surprisingly, portrayed them in a very positive light. Very interesting and a refreshing change from the norm.

    I know whenever we do tracking dives we're out last (well, before the students/tandems last). We go out perpendicular to jump run & turn around at about 8000-9000. Last jump Trent set his ProDytter to go off at 8000 and we turned around & headed back. Worked just dandy. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
  14. The you're going to the wrong rodeos! Of course the Houston rodeo is the biggest in the world. Goes on for a whole month. I've never seen so many women in tight jeans in one place in my entire life. I'm a married spud... I'm a married spud... I'm a married spud... I'm a married spud...

  17. Not all tequila bad. Bad tequila es muy bad. Get some good anejo (Herradura, El Tesoro, etc.) and it's a pretty decent next morning. Of course, ya gotta pay $30-$50 a bottle for the good stuff, but it's well worth it. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

    ouch...

    You got spanked by your Spectre? Or was it the diving turn? I occasionally get that when I collapse my slider. The grommets just barely fit over my toggles so every once in a while I'll pull it down & it pops a toggle. WHOA! "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
  19. You can get hurt, even killed, drinking coffee.... ------------------------ Man Dies After Falling on Coffee Mug The Associated Press Friday, February 22, 2002; 4:31 PM SEAFORD, N.Y. –– A man apparently bled to death after falling on the shards of a coffee mug he was carrying, police said. Joseph Stoyer, 51, was found face-down on the sidewalk outside his Long Island apartment building by a jogger Thursday. "Somehow he falls, the cup shatters, he lands on one of the sharp pieces of the cup," Detective Lt. Frank Guidice said. -------------------------- "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

    Oftentimes it's a medical condition. Circumstances just amplify it. Of course, being a medical condition, it can be treated with medicines.

    SEX

    No offense intended to Richard, but when I think of spandex I think of bad 80s hair metal bands, valley girls & aerobics videos. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
  24. Well like I said I wasn't singling anybody out and I'm not taking sides in any of these things. I just hate seeing all the arguing. And the only way to stop is for all of us to take it upon ourselves. Hell, the Jews & Arabs both have good reasons for killing each other. But the only way to stop the killing is to stop killing. In that case no one wants to make a firm commitment to stop, because revenge is so much easier and satisfying. Thus, the cycle of violence continues. These little tiffs are really no different.
