  1. So is left the norm in most places? Each time I have been down to my DZ they seem to favour right. (learning here, please bear with me) I am assuming by left/right you mean keeping your landing pattern either left or right while doing downwind/crosswind/upwind legs, is that correct?

  3. Don't you ever get bored of baiting and trolling? I actually think you're doing the ACLU a great disservice by even suggesting it. Baiting seems to be a big pastime here. Certain members seem to never get tired of it. Then again... some members are easier to bait than others... Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  4. What, are you 10? I am well over 10, and I had to look up what a .wad is. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  5. Isn't calling that a near miss a misnomer? It should be call a near hit. I mean think about it. A near miss implies you nearly missed. So the inverse of that is you totally missed? Anyhow, those dudes should fly the pattern from what was shown. I feel the same way about unsliced bread. What.. did you slice the bread, then unslice it? Shouldn't it be not sliced bread? Or maybe just a whole loaf? And why do we take a pee? We aren't taking anything... I hope! Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  6. I'll try just about anything once. But it seems like more hassle than it is worth. And I am a beer snob. Sorta. Well, I usually only drink particular beers. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  7. Well not all of us are scanning for every little bit of news about the US president, I suppose. A link to the relevant news article, such as you provided, would have been good. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

    I have no skills with photoshop or whatever it is people are using these days, but I think this would be a good image to mess with... make it look like he is piloting a canopy. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  12. If ya can't mock politicians, who can ya mock? A society that is unable to mock its leaders is a police state. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  13. I am totally new. I was taught that you do your last leg upwind, usually. I am looking at the video on my phone, so the screen is small and I cannot see any windsocks or means of telling which direction the wind is blowing, but it seems to me both cannot be going upwind. Wouldn't it make things less chancy if folks are going in more or less the same direction? Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  14. More of a grammar fascist, really. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  15. Well the books were probably the first of those remote control save the world stories. They were reasonably well written, though not my favourite. I got a much better charge from the Heinlein book Starship Troopers (definitely the book, NOT the movie), and it was making similar statements about xeonocide, dehumanization of people in war, and the political state. I would suggest Starship Troopers well in advance of Ender's Game. (again, the books, not the movies) And Heinlein was not a total homophobic douchebag.

  16. I shall! Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  17. Couldn't tell ya. How do you like Marvel Heroes? I played DC Universe Online... but some of Sony's policies piss me off. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  18. Not giving a single cent of my hard earned money to Orson Scott Card. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  19. Awesome! Though Deland is a bit far... even for beer But if you or Normiss ever find your ways up to Toronto, the beer is on me Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  20. I don't know if that is true. Yes.. we are well past sustainability with our current rate and means of consumption. But a radical shift in the way we do things would still allow us to live sustainably, even at this population. In other words, I don't see it as a population issue. I see it as a consumption issue. As in the WAY we consume. We just don't need as much as we are taking. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  21. I loved it on Firefly. It was not overdone, and I feel it created a slightly more believable experience. They did the same for BSG, with equal success. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  22. i agree. class warfare: rich vs. poor. i'm just waiting for the Justice League movie instead. That'll be a long wait. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  23. He did not really create his own credit card... he just amended the contract and sent it back to the bank for their approval. Pretty standard when it comes to negotiating contracts, really. Bank's fault through and through. Bet you that happens only once... Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  24. Same thing my PFF instructor told us. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
  25. You are right, alas. It is too bad.. smaller, decentralized is far more efficient. Tailoring energy production to local communities, using what resources they have on hand, if at all possible, would prove far more efficient. But profit over efficiency!
