That my is an old Strato cloud,1.5 oz fabric...the rings as slider stops,the line attach point s( type 4 coreless nylon,covered by a piece of 1.5 inch type 3),the windows on the bottom surface AND the dual bridle attachments ,not to mention the zig zag stitching using FF red thread,.ITS ALL PARAFLITE!. I KNOW CUZ I WORKED THERE. The serial number was stamped on one of the ribs,since these ribs are all black,you will find the serial number on one of the reinforcing tapes on the rib.it may no longer be visible because the ink PFI used at the time was NOT permanent

Perry's got a point about keeping the Feds out...have you seen the type of dipshits they let run the Department of Energy?

I do. But I will give you an opportunity to prove me wrong. Post Al Gore saying that "the world was going to be under water in 15 years." Should be easy, right? You are all about facts, right? Just point me towards the speech where he said that. In fact I will even bet you $200 that you can't do that, that you will end up saying something like "well, he said sea levels will rise, and a low lying city might be underwater soon, and isn't that sorta the same thing?" Want to put your money where your mouth is? Should be easy money for you.

Johnny. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Is that a problem with wind or a problem with Texas? Seems like wind turbines are able to operate in cold climates in other parts of the world? Same as natural gas works pretty well in cold climates, if properly prepared. Texas decided not to learn any lessons from 2011 and prior incidences of cold weather impacting the power grid, resulting in history repeating itself. Looks like the issue isn't how the power is generated, but to what standard the network is maintained. You want all the cheapness, but then whine when it turns out cheapness has a price.

What the fuck is the point you think you're trying to make here? I spent Monday and Tuesday night freezing my ass off, had great fun trying to find warm shelter for my wife's 80-year great old aunt who went the night in a 40 degree house before she gave up 'not wanting to be a bother' and called for help. We're much luckier than most in that the only casualty seems to be a 12-year old washing machine out in the garage. The Texan death toll will likely be in the dozens when the dust settles. The root cause is an infrastructure not able to keep up in the cold, with wind and solar accounting for a very small percentage of the lost capacity. A person has to jump through a whole lot of logical hoops to get to a point where your post makes any kind of fucking sense...Are we in this hypothetical Fox world where people are suggesting that we drop 100% of fossil fuels today? Were the TX blackouts caused entirely by frozen turbines and not gas/coal production facilities that couldn't handle the cold? Ken's got the right idea with putting you on the block list. I've wasted too much time reading your bullshit. With millions of people suffering right now, kudos for trying to twist this into some contorted attempt to score some political point while ignoring the facts that don't support your very weak argument.

They need to get in contact with Kuujjuaraapik and Whapmagoostui.. A lengthy article about the use of diesel power generation in Canada's north. How wind power is replacing diesel that sometimes has to be flown in.

You really "watch" to know? And that after you edited? Not very impressive unless you are shit faced, of course. Seriously, as it has been pointed out on these pages by others, you often aren't too quick on the uptake. Let me make it simpler, the next time the urge strikes, instead of us, jerk yourself off.

We are, totally. Just go to the moon. That or stop with imagining why the future isn't what you imagined it would be and instead be marveled by all of the awesomeness around you.

Hi Keith, I used to play volleyball with two guys who flunked out of engineering, One became a dentist & the other a V-P at Jantzen. Both made twice what I made. Jerry Baumchen

The XL Cloud did not have lower surface vents. The Strato-Cloud did.

Maybe forums are due for a comeback. It's such a great format.

I was at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in 2019. Look close at the computer screen...

I only brought it up because someone else put it on the table, and I don't think there is a correlation
