  1. In reference to above the force by friction is probably magnitudes greater and I allowed the hydrogen bonding may be negligible. However just considering the attractive forces they are 100 times greater.
  2. The fabric has more surface area so attractive forces between fabric will likely be much greater. However, there may be something to the line issue as well.
  3. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules are some of the strongest interactions possible. The relative strength of the wet lines versus the dry lines is probably around 100 to 1. So they are 100 times more attracted to each other. This is not to say it will require 100 times more force to pull them apart, but that the attractive forces will require 100 times more force to overcome them. This may or may not be negligible, but my gut instinct is that this almost certainly could have an effect on a deployment.
  4. Jesus I have a real job now. You may see me more often yet.
  5. Ross, Jamie and I are going to NiN. You should go with us. I would prefer not to be the third will I'd like a 4th wheel to go. My girlfriend is not that interested in going.
  6. I might could do this. If Dave doesn't go.
  7. Also wondering the same thing. NO RIG FOR US.
  8. Yes lots of new car stuff as well. If we aren't too hungover tomorrow I will see if she wants to come out. I have to meet her parents in North Raleigh tomorrow anyway, so a jump may calm my nerves.
  9. I probably won't be around for a bit unless I luck out this weekend. I am done with half my finals. I still have one tomorrow and one monday. All of them have been at 8 am. I have only been to work 2 days this week :( Yeah that's my excuse, I've been too busy with school
  10. I'm moving to Miami sometime in June. I figure I will get a small keg for a going away party. Everyone will be invited.
  11. What would your mom think of you BASE jumping missy?
  12. Glad you guys had fun. I was in the hospital all day on Sunday. Hope you guys don't get sick! See ya this weekend maybe.
  13. I could be talked into it... Fucking nice.

    Just wondering what it's like down that way. I'm going today for a series of interviews tomorrow, and I will possibly be moving down this summer for good. I saw a lot of stuff on my last trip down, just wondering if there are any active people and what the dl is on objects. Thanks.
  15. I am leaving to go up there in about an hour, someone better be there. One load is going up and I think Eric, Dave, and myself will be there. Someone support the PAC with us please. Thanks :)

    Where do you order it, and has anyone seen it first hand?
  17. I think an hour or two done over the course of a few days would be most helpful. I wouldn't attempt for much past that because you really have to spend a shitload of money to get a lot better after that point. It's probably better to get the base with backflying and if you can get off the net in a sit you'll be doing good when you get in the air. It worked out a lot of my kinks with sitflying.
  18. I couldn't find that thread. They need one for Mr. Skydiving Name Dropper You may know that swoop god, but you're just a douche who hooked himself in a few times. Random thought. Everyone know someone like that?
  19. Not really. You can bring an assload of tuna and peanut butter. I pretty much solidly lived off that for 2 weeks. Buy 2 loaves of bread when you get to Stavanger. And yes if you want to drink you will want to acquire beer elsewhere.
  20. I may or may not be out this weekend or the next. I have a physical chemistry test tomorrow, it has been a rediculous bitch. I studied 8 hours today, maybe longer and didn't even go to work. Keeping a 4.0 sucks ass. Oh well I get to know if I'm in at Carolina soon then who knows I might even have a job that pays worth a shit... With three damned degrees I better.
  21. Sounds like a good idea, though you might try for a harder launch and do two since it's an overhang.
