    A pretty clear indication that most of the population is sick of the R bullshit. Newsome himself is not all that popular but few were willing to risk seeing a Trumpist in charge. I know that CA is different from the rest of the USA, but not that different. This bodes well for putting some of the worst excesses to rest. If there is one thing that can make a political party change it is losing its chance to gain power.

    Actually there is no plan to create a "two-tiered society", that is hyperbole. Instead there is a plan to put enough pressure on the unvaccinated to make it much easier for them to just give in and do the right thing. And it is beginning to work. Right now it is still a big issue. A year from now we (and most of them) will be wondering what all the fuss was about as we all get used to our yearly booster shots. And since when is admission to a private business a "right"? At least here in the US, the majority of service-industry businesses proudly proclaim that they have the right to refuse service to anyone. Intoxicated, abusive, shirtless/shoeless... and now those who could spread a deadly disease to the staff and other customers.

    I guess you don't follow American politics.

    I think many of us have put things on hold this past year... All I can say is that the sky isn't going anywhere and try to make sure you are good and ready to get back out there. xx N@

    The unit has been tested through the weekend and I'm really happy that it worked! Unlike previous attempts, when proprietary GPS units couldn't handle freefall, this time GPS data was displayed during all phases of the flight. Update was to 250ms and unit reaction time was pretty accurate. GPS unit rated up to 5Hz, with time it will be upgraded to 10Hz (same as in FlySight) I didn't have time to order tinted tape, so I put black one on the back, and on a bright day digits were readable no problem at all. Despite digits being blurry (the image attached is pretty close to what's in reality) it was easy to read them during the flight. Display is not distracting and could be looked at with quick eye movement. You might need some practice on the ground first just to get used to it, but then during the flight it didn't take an effort to check speed. As promised, basic source code and hastily written assembly instructions: https://github.com/RomanTheLegend/WingsuitGps Contributions are welcome because I won't have enough time to develop this project at a good pace, and there are few quite complex functions to be implemented. Next on the ToDo list: * Make few more units for my friends for wider testing and feedback (mid-October because shipping is only from China) * Make 3D models and wiring cleaner and leaner * Explore the possibility of attaching some control switches - that would allow to write some kind of menu interface in the future P.S. I got carried away a bit and added Bluetooth intercom made from old cheap headset while at it. This helmet gets more and more advanced

    We have attached our information and pricing sheet for the 41,000' jumps for both licensed and tandem skydivers. Before you flame me about the price, I would suggest that you go purchase an aircraft for 41,000' jumps, maintain it to RVSM standards, purchase the associated oxygen equipment, and hire a pilot with the knowledge and experience to do this (such as me). When you have done that, then you will be qualified to comment on the price. HALO Oxygen Jump text for website, Cheyenne.docx

    Veis thank you for providing an image that illustrates the real issue of this thread. This thread went wrong, not productive when the debate started about equipment or what could/should have been the proper course of action made by NWT. The thread should be focused on the management of the excess break lines and how well they were not secure and then show methods on how to improve securing the excess break line that can help prevent this type of unusual malfunction.
