    If someone NEEDS to know how to do this then PM me. I'm not giving the information to anyone who I don't recognize as a real person/skydiver.



    Actually, I'd be happier if every thief knew how to use a slim-jim on cars.

    That way they'd just steal whatever they wanted from the car and skip the part where they break a window and perhaps screw up the window track or related pieces.

    We've had to repair two windows in the last four years on my wife's Honda at $250+ per incident. OTOH, $250 in window repairs from parking outside beat the $1600 we'd have spent on another garage space over the last year.



    Knew a guy who had a window broken by a thief. The window was so damn expensive that his solution after that was to just leave it unlocked, because he never kept anything in it that would cost as much as the window to replace.

  2. Way back when I was driving a V8 Jeep that got about 15mpg, I borrowed my GF's economy car (which got 40+ mpg) to go to an out-of-state Jumpmaster course. Damned if I didn't lock the keys in the car 200 miles from home. As I was ranting and kicking myself, I suddenly noticed something: The rear quarter windows were gasket windows. All I had to do was pull out the 1/4" strip that locked them in place, pop out the glass, and I was in the car with no damage in just a couple minutes. Then I spent the next 15 getting the glass back in.

    Hi Will,
    We're off to Grand Bo for the week of 9th March.. but I'm hoping to go to Verbier in January to do a Speed Riding course with Verbier Summits (I'll P.M you when I get some information).

    It's neat! but,

    1.) How much do you think it weighs when the battery runs out and some poor guy has to lug it back. (I can see it's tethered right now, duh.)

    2.) How effective is it once one of those joints gets shot out, or gets sand in it?



    Or when the guy hops out to go take a leak in the ditch, and the suit suddenly straightens up and roars at him:

    "PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON! YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY!."

    If it had not produced testable hypotheses which have since been validated - yes, you could claim that. Unfortunately . . . .



    A few months ago I watched a PBS show on physics which discussed String Theory and interviewed various physicists. One guy made a comment that was quite interesting. He pointed out that as of yet, no one had any idea of a way to create experiments to prove or disprove String Theory, so at this point it is indistinguishable from a religion.

    Jon Stewart does better than any of them!



    I agree completely! His is the only show I watch regularly. (I get most of my news online). His is the only show that will call out politicians on their lies and contradictions by going back and pulling up video of earlier speeches and playing them back to back with what they are saying now.

    It is ironic that what started out to be a parody of news shows has become a harder-hitting source of news that the shows it was imitating.

    Do you understand what the word infinite means?



    Quade, you just need to order the Infinite Improbability Drive the next time you buy a new car. It's a great time saver!:ph34r:

    The only movies worth seeing HAVE no plot, and get watched .25 cents at a time....;)



    The great thing about porn flicks on VHS was that you could watch them once in forward, and then watch them again while rewinding, and they were just as good.:D

  18. The correct and legal answer is Attacking or About to Attack Others and Attacking or About to Attack Me, but your poll won't allow multiple choices.

    People who think that the infidelity of their SO gives them the right to attack the SO, or the other person, are living in a state of arrested development. Resorting to physical violence because you can't accept the fact the your SO doesn't feel about you the same way you feel about them, is the behavior of a loser.

    So, where are you heading this season?



    Colorado Rockies, this is where I hope to see snow for the 1st time:)


    You haven't seen snow before? Do you plan to try skiing?

    Might give boarding a go. but i don't expect to be doing much skiing, i have jumping to do after i leave CO and don't want anything broken :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:


    If you do try boarding, then wristguards are a must!
    If you don't believe me, then ask SkyMama.:ph34r:

    Also, wear a helmet. The first time I tried boarding, I had a headache for 3 days from the heel-side falls. (That was before I started wearing a helmet). That helmet has saved my brain from a lot of high-speed equipment dispersals.:S The impact of the helmet hitting hardpack sounds like a gun going off to the ears, but it beats the hell out of having a splitting headache for the rest of the day, and the next two.

    Although we did get told off for being on a Black Run (Diamond?) with rentals skiis on - WTF?



    Well, there is a higher probability of a person on rental skis being a beginner, and there is a higher probability of finding rocks on the steeper slopes, so the combination of those two means a greater likelihood of breaking the skis.

    I watched the interview again to remind myself of what was said, and all in all it looks like that show was probably the wrong place for such a discussion. The presenter clearly had no interest in the book's thesis (he plainly acknowledges he hadn't read the full work, and didn't even see the need to) and the author failed to grasp the soundbite-y nature of the show, apparently expecting an opportunity to lay out her conclusions in some detail.



    Had she actually been allowed to speak, the interview would have sounded more like this:

    On a practical level? I think it would be nice if Tancredo were in the white house, because we'd see legal BASE in National Parks in the US. Tancredo is the only congressman to actively address this issue, and has essentially asked the NPS to allow BASE jumping.



    Unfortunately, I can't think of anything else he has ever said/done right. Every time he opens his mouth he makes me embarrassed to be a Coloradan. I can't support anyone on just a single issue.
