  1. Everyone has a different body, skillset and values every .1 GR or mph gained differently against investing in the latest model. So it's quite subjective. If you fly frequently I'd advise yes it's worthwhile for sure. :)

  3. dunno if you're counting my local DZ in that, but here there wasn't even an incident, it was a ban out of the blue. With a WS population of about 10.

  4. If the start time is what you're focused on I would venture to guess it depends more on stall speed of the suit than inlet or airlock mechanics.

  5. On my V3 I did break a zipper stop at the proximal (near body) end of an arm zipper by opening too fast/hard. Put zipper back on the track and as a stop used a dab of super glue for both arms, it never happened again. Having parapack instead of nylon as a stop should fix it, but the superglue mod is super-easy.

  7. I'd suggest doublecheck what your upper body is doing- that you're spine and shoulders are straight/flat instead of curved/dearched.

  8. Really neat. In the video before this one I was hoping they'd go down those gulleys, and it turned out really nice. :)

    "It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. Murray Rothbard Making Economic Sense (1995)

  13. Not really. I prefer to distinguish 'Brand-me' by the actual flying of the suit (which is captured better in memories not photos) rather than suit colors.
    Congrats on having your order accepted.

  16. The venom armwing would compare closer, in case you have an extra venom laying around.

  18. You might not have noticed, but it's not just the CBP that's above the law, it's the whole corrupt government. No accountability, no justice.

    I occasionally looked for it at my local video store and it was never available and couldn't be bothered to put myself on a waiting list.



    It's available in DVD format on Amazon.com

    When Taxes Attack: Forced Out by High Taxes

    It’s not one specific type of tax — property tax or income tax, etc. — that's pushing people out, it’s the combined effect of being burdened by the government.

    “Most Americans don’t differentiate between the taxes they’re paying,” said Scott Hodge, president of the Tax Foundation. “They just feel besieged from all directions by high income taxes, property taxes and sales taxes.”

    If their greed outweighs their patriotism, it's probably best that they go and don't come back.


    imho,
    I would think someone would only want that to happen to their own country when their pride outweighs their prudent judgment of what's best for the people. It's a reversal of what made the country great and so the effects will of course be the opposite. Instead of people coming here for a better life, they leave for a better life. Productivity goes down, and since the tax base shrinks we have less of others people money to spend on what the lobbyists want.

    I am trying to get my family away from the lunatics (cf. tea party, republicans, etc. etc.) as fast as I can. Thank God, we have the option to relocate to another 27 countries w/o paperwork.
    Best wishes to my fellow Americans who lack the option to ever leave the asylum...



    Which are your top 3 alternative countries?? I'd like to know very much. Thanks,

    That's what all this does is push talented people to leave and go support countries with less oppressive governments who are friendlier with economic and personal freedom.

    then how do you propose to ensure that you, personally, do not derive any benefit whatsoever, in any way, from the services provided by the institution you so disdain?


    I don't, I instead propose not having a special parasitic, wasteful, and unnaccountable class of people with unlimited "rights" of violence and coercion against the population; to do away with the mafia style of farming people for money. To ask whether your wages are your property is like asking if the farmer's cow owns the grass it eats. We have no real property rights because the gov't claims ownership of us as its livestock. The livestock aren't free to suicide or do drugs because they do not own their bodies. If you accept the Non Aggression Principle everything else follows quite logically and consistently.

    I fully expect none of this will be at all agreeable to anyone here so dont be surprised if I give up the discussion for more productive activities (like watching grass grow) and feel very free to count it as a debate victory with me running from the thread. ;)
