  1. Not sure how objective they are. They probably are pretty objective when comparing a PDR to a OPT. Remster
  2. Canada (or US, depending on the frame of reference for what "foreign" is :-D ) Mexico UK France Spain Malaysia Remster
  3. I'll add to Chuck's comment that you shouldn't have to be pointing your toes hard to make it tight. Remster
  4. http://gethypoxic.com/blogs/technical/16491013-setting-up-the-gopro-hd-hero3-black-for-skydiving Remster
  5. You need to be able to arch, with a rig on. If they were tight standing up, your lower body wouldn't be able to get in an arch. What you are looking for if the booties being fully engaged when in a natural arch. Remster
  6. You're not helping me change my opinion of the skyhook, Bill... Remster
  7. Does that happen in several middle east countries? Sure. Now, replace beheading with daily shootings, and you what part is not true about life in the US? Remster
  8. Because Americans are taught/brainwahsed/indoctrinated/whatever you want to call it, from an early age that they live in the greatest country in the world. That American and Americans are the best at everything. From that perspective it would be hard to believe a country would not want to be invaded and "liberated" by Americans. So if your choices were: (1) being burned alive, (2) stoned to death, (3) beheaded, (4) shot, (5) thrown off a building, (6) "being liberated by America," Which would you choose? Yes. This is exactly what the choices are. Remster
  9. Well, the part about buying something with the specific intent of using it, then using it, and then returning it for a full refund - rather than renting it honestly - is called "stealing". It may or may not be strictly illegal, but I happen to feel it's unethical. The skydiving community already has enough detractors as it is, people who think we're bums and druggies. I don't think giving them ammo to call us thieves, too, is all that good an idea. Pardon my high horse. I think the question was about the pro pass... http://www.skydivecsc.com/experienced/info/csc-pro-pass/ Spaceland does something similar http://houston.skydivespaceland.com/shop/lift-tickets/unlimited-jumps-2015/ Remster
  10. Cool... The news-bit I saw this AM was only talking about missing... Some good news then... Remster
  11. Only 0.05% of them would want to run anyway.... Remster
  12. I think math should be off limit in SC. For everyone. http://bit.ly/1vssNQR (PS: I realize Dan's reply was to a new question, but still, all this bad basic math is hurting my teeth). Remster
  13. It doesnt have Democrats contolling the big cities....... You'll find that most people on the right in Australia are still on the left of the spectrum of US politics. Remster
  14. At this point, I don't think there are any known survivors. Only confirmed dead vs unaccounted for. Remster
  15. John Sherman posts on here. I'm sure he would explain. I've read his explanation (he posted it somewhere in the forum not that long ago). I still don't get it. Remster
  16. On the other hand, if I just made up a bunch of numbers I could make Christians sound pretty bad too. Calculating percentages is so VERY difficult. Have to divide by 100 and other hard stuff. That depends on what definition of percentage you use. Remster
  17. I know Jumpshack offers a single sided RSL as an option, but I completely do not understand why they still sand by the double sided design and still offer it.... Remster
  18. If only 0.05% of the Muslims are jihadists committed to our demise, that means 78,500,000 of them are our enemies. How about only 0.025%; 39,250,000 want you, your family and your way of life destroyed. Math is so hard! Lets go to the mall church of the bigoted instead! Remster
  19. Oh, I see. So Scientific American is more like... Scientific Canadian now. Eh. That was uncalled for. I'm sorry. Remster

    Plasma is pretty much a dead technology (more or less). You just don't find many out there anymore. Just go to Costco, pick a size in LED, and get the Samsung in that size. Super high refresh rates are kind of silly since the feed is not that high. Stick with 1080p unless you plan to go really big and very high end, then get 4k. Remster
