And people will pencil pack pressure suit and rebreather inspections. Until someone dies a gruesome death, then everyone will be all over inspections for about a month. All the cool kids will use the thinnest, lightest pressure suits possible, even when they get so thin that they regularly rupture when exposed to Martian fines. "Won't happen to me," the cool kids will say. "I know how to stand so that those fines won't abrade the suit. But if you can't even stand properly, I guess you should get one of those boat-anchor beginner suits." Someone will work out a shortcut for airlock cycling. They'll notice that as soon as the internal airlock temperature hits 45 degrees F (due to the incoming pressurized air) then you are good to open the interior door. A few people are almost killed when the door opens with a force of several tons of air pressure behind it, but the "45 degree rule" persists for years, despite daily warnings that it doesn't work. And you know there's going to be two Russians who just do whatever the fuck they want to, even beyond normal skydiver standards. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Now you need to spend some time and read your own post here. Then you need to think about it a while. All of this pointing and saying that people should read what someone else posts, huh? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Oh god no. Valentina was picked to be the first woman in space because she was a skydiver[/I]. Not kidding. You can look it up. I'm not denying that skydivers generally have some good qualities for stressful situations. Plus Valentina is just awesome. Just that if you lock a bunch of them together for a long time then they're probably more likely to explode than a typical cross section of people from different groups. We're typically super Type-A personalities. Lots of chiefs, no indians. Great, love triangles, opinions about how the owners need to run the place, staff bitching about the quantity and type of work they get depending on the weather, everyone shows up in the morning smelling like the ass end of a donkey, and everyone brags that they have a job lined up on Venus and can leave at any time.

which seems to be a building block of much of what you post. And if you actually search for the article https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2017/jun/26/new-study-confirms-the-oceans-are-warming-rapidly you'll see that it's about how scientists say then need to deploy more ocean sensors to better track ocean temperatures. Still doesn't seem like anything that should make you stop reading. There are even graphs and stuff on the article and I know how you like those little thingies. I post articles with extensive data and graphs. You do not seem to care about those! We care enough to thoroughly debunk them. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Totally, ridicules. Pssst, he's not talking about himself. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Oh, I thought you were going to stop posting about climate change denial. Well, it's too bad that you stopped reading because the next sentences were which seems to be a building block of much of what you post.

I stopped here. No reason to go further as you show no ability to reason on this topic anymore "I stopped here." Please promise that you'll stick to your guns on this statement. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

A couple living on the DZ broke up. People chose sides. The poster thinks it is unfair to the woman involved. That's my translation. It doesn't really belong here. I disagree, unfortunately part of the DZ life is figuring out what the fuck to do when two of your friends and co-workers break up amidst love-triangle turmoil.

You're right, cask conditioned beer would make it would but just gotta keep the hand pumps primed. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

At least it's a dry heat. With humidity Iran had a heat index temp of 165F helped by the local water temperature of 90F. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/07/30/iran-city-hits-suffocating-heat-index-of-154-degrees-near-world-record/?utm_term=.5d20deffd923 But that's OK, locals say it's perfectly normal but recommend showering: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/08/03/chart-busting-heat-and-humidity-in-iran-city-were-completely-normal-says-local/?utm_term=.d14802c1ad5b "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Brilliant, indeed. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

While undoubtedly unintentional, thank you nonetheless for the best laugh I've had in some time. So what explanation do you have for amassing your population along our border, if not preparation for invasion?? We need a wall. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I like it how a conversation about a band called The Slants has turned into shit talking about the war of 1812. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Everyone agrees? You threw the debate away right there. Don't care enough? Dude that's a new spin on it. My opinion it's got nothing to do with caring but has everything to do with thinking. There's a group of people who say they're offended, everyone knows that. There's a request to change the name because of that, nobody cares enough to do it. What do you think of that? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

yes sir Lee Middle School In the article it states that the name was picked because they wanted to deter black children from attending. Seems like a good reason to get rid of the name. They high school where I used to coach is called JEB Stuart and I was curious about the naming, looks like it was the same deal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._E._B._Stuart_High_School "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Having lived in and around DC most of my life I can attest that the local understanding is that Snyder is an asshole and just doesn't want to spend the money to change the name. The rest of it is just a result of people becoming entrenched and politicized. Everyone agrees that the phrase "Redskin" can be taken as being offensive but don't care enough to get outraged.

I'm sure we'll see similar things on schools named after Confederate Generals. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Nobody ever knew that our global obligations could be so complicated. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

THAT is the kind of man I want to be our President. I'll bet he follows through on his campaign promises too. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I think the cheering section is everyone who didn't go the bullfight and thinks they're a bunch of assholes for playing a sport in which you stab an animal to death. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yes, by a Bernie Sanders supporting left-wing kook. May as well call it an attack by Isis. Bernie is a member of Isis? Well, duh....of course. Bernie and "The Left" may as well be Islamists with their support of genital "cutting" and wanting to bring terrorists into the country. Wups, sorry. This is the thread where we don't mumble a bunch of cliched partisan hypocritical bullshit. Maybe the moderators can delete our comments.
