I got the Pfizer booster on 10/5, when it was being offered to anyone who had the second Pfizer shot at least 6 months ago

You conveniently sidestep the idea that your "doctor" may be a naturopath or chiropractor. That is to say, not actually a doctor at all.
-
lol yeah you can tell by the video that i nearly femurred and bled out
-
Which part is BS, and what does DGIT mean? You can watch my landing and judge for yourself how wildly dangerous you think it was.

Those who believe vaccine mandates to be unamerican may be interested to know that our country's first (inoculation) mandate was instituted in 1777 by George Washington, giving us a strategic advantage contributing to our victory in the Revolutionary War. Our country was founded on vaccine mandates. https://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/GW&smallpoxinoculation.html?fbclid=IwAR0DCON5VQ_rXOMm2mwLZ6SXC3QBnaKCY9vc6IlK-ZUjFKbDsE2Rj2yc8i0

OMG guys I finally just realized something... I could have cut the stows that the brake line was tied around. fuuuuuuuuuck... Reserves are really docile, and you weigh less after chopping. Judge me if you want, I don't really care--I had a nice soft landing on my tippy toes.

I see people using these for CRW and flocking as well. The slim is probably the model to get.

Open like an Echo, flare like a Sabre2
nwt replied to pvandevelde's question in Questions and Answers
I've heard some people say the sabre 3 opens better than the 2, but I don't have significant personal experience. -
Ok I've read the article now, and I don't see anywhere an implication that wing loading matters less for a bigger jumper, or that a bigger jumper at 1.2 is analogous to a smaller one at 1.0. In fact, the author refutes that notion directly from the very start:
-
Looks like WebMD isn't such a great source.
-
Right... Billvon quoted an article from WebMD and then you quoted an article from CBS and pointed out a flaw in it... Completely separate articles...
-
Lol you're the one who cited the reference. What do you think you're proving by pointing out flaws in references you're citing yourself? This, combined with an excess death measure lower than COVID deaths, could be compelling evidence that COVID deaths are being over-counted. As it turns out, excess deaths (675K - 850K) are the same or higher than COVID deaths (680K), indicating that COVID deaths are either accurate or under-counted.
-
That's true, but I wouldn't try to bake that into wingloading to say a big guy at 1.2 is equivalent to a small guy at 1.0. 1.2 is 1.2, and 1.0 is 1.0. If you happen to be on a 150 or smaller, there will be additional things to consider, but that's separate from wingloading. Just like rectangular vs. elliptical--another thing that greatly affects performance that I would not try to bake into wingloading. To put it another way, when someone recommends a wingloading for you, if that were to put you at 150 or below you'd want to have some more dialogue about it. It absolutely does not mean that if you're above 150, that he's actually recommending 0.2 higher. It just doesn't work that way. 150 and below is the special case--above that is the normal case and you don't need to adjust anything.

i haven't gotten a chance to read it yet but i will
-
Which part of it, specifically?
-
I've never heard this before.
-
So you just assumed two different things were the same for no other reason than it was convenient. You can't seriously think this is a reasonable approach.
-
This is news to me. Do you have a reference? The CDC excess death estimates jive with the official numbers pretty well. Trying to predict an outcome that is dependent on a large number of factors that we don't fully understand, by looking at only a single factor, is kinda silly.
-
I didn't really mean to suggest that as a solution, just to explain how polarization works. I didn't know that most reflected light is horizontally polarized though so thanks for explaining.

Could it be possible for you to be fitted at a boogie? That's what I did.
