  1. 36 years old in 2002; still jumping. Did a tandem with my wife and went back a couple months later and did my AFF My son just did his first jump at age 10. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  2. What about the people whose lifetimes were before religion? Do they get an automatic "heaven ticket" or is it fire & brimstone for them because well ...rules is rules. Which raises another query; where exactly are these rapture people going? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  3. I just called and spoke with them. They do zeppelin jumps twice a year (usually April & September). Cost is EUR 295 and they go to around 1000metres (3300feet). For reference, they charge EUR 225 for their normal 30min sightseeing flights which goes to 1000feet. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  4. That looks great. I've going to contact them myself. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  5. Fox News has been taken off the air in the UK: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41087659 While I never regarded it as actual news, I was one of their very small UK viewership. I'd occasionally put it on for a sociological perspective (in the same manner you would watch chimps to better understand primate behaviour) or just outright entertainment (the Fox & Friends hosts were just so Goddamn stupid it was actually funny). Regardless of how poor a news outlet it was, it gave an insight that you only get with local input. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  6. Just announced today; possibly a "Holy Grail" for helmet mounted stills and video? https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/dsc-rx0 https://www.dpreview.com/news/4343428297/sony-rx0-puts-a-1-inch-sensor-into-a-rugged-and-ultra-compact-body Not cheap, but good specs.

  7. Where does this "Hillbilly Intel" come from? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  8. Yes, the 360 degree sunset/dusk horizon is pretty cool. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  9. Just saw this eclipse jump video on a heli pilots forum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpqoAC8Ts74 "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

    2017 Eclipse

    This article starts off by noting the eclipse is the work of the “Prince of Darkness” which made me ponder what does Ozzy Ozbourne have to do with it, then of course realised … Oh, they mean Satan… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/christian-radio-host-eclipse-satan_us_599a5db2e4b01f6e801f5141 "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  11. A solar eclipse has nothing to do with religion - any religion. If you're on the internet so often looking at websites to understand the world, why don't you ever visit an actual science website? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  12. Ron, you are extra "full of shit" today. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

    2017 Eclipse

    I've had to explain to two older relatives in the US that they will not see a total eclipse (where they live) and it will not be getting dark for 2plus minutes in their respective areas. Granted both are dumbasses (not blood relations), but is this common?; do the Trump-voter types think all of America will be experiencing a total eclipse? "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  14. That's a good one. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  15. Travelled through NC and Virginia in recent weeks. Though I lived in the area years ago, I came away feeling sad for the whole area. 30 years later and still a hotbed of racism and close-mindedness. VA Highway Patrol showing up to assist seems like just adding more of the same to a Klan / White Supremacist rally. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

    North Korea

    I see two chubby psychopaths with bad haircuts (photo attached) "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  17. Damn, just read that Chester Bennington (lead singer of Linkin Park) was found dead at his home today – apparent suicide. Just over two weeks ago (3July @ O2 Arena, London), I took my 10yr old son to see them; it was his first concert. He’s got their world tour shirt (now with dates that won’t be played) and a poster for his room that he hasn’t even put up yet. He’s in bed now asleep; in the morning I’ll tell him about the news – don’t quite know how to explain suicide. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  18. Though no opposition showed up for this motley mix of Sons of the Confederacy, KKK and Donald Trump supporters, someone still managed to get shot… Guns And KKK Members At Gettysburg Confederate Rally, But No Foes To Fight http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gettysburg-confederate-rally-kkk-antifa_us_59592bd8e4b05c37bb7f0ca4 “Although many came expecting violence; even after Antifa made it clear its adherents never planned to show up; the only bloodshed came when a lone militia group member accidentally shot himself in the leg.” "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  19. Exactly Yes, that 50%: got you Trump, the level of driving skill displayed on American highways and a further supply of dim-witted kids "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  20. 2-digit IQs and firearms are seldom a good mix. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  21. Until Trump, no US president in history has said/done dumb shit on a daily basis. Has he ever sent an intelligible tweet? WTF is the POTUS even doing tweeting with the voracity of a 12yr old girl chatting with her mates? However, this isn't wholly new in regards to media; we got endless bitching about Obama in the prior 8 years. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  22. 5 people shot today in Virginia and San Francisco: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-francisco-shooting-downtown-20170614-story.html Difficult to keep up with all the shootin' "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  23. Every country has angry & disenfranchised individuals. Not every country provides these individuals with easy access to high-capacity assault weapons. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  24. A Bernie-voting liberal with an assault rifle - this is going to caused mixed emotions. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
  25. Shooter named as 66yr old James Hodgkinson (sorry folks, no Muslim or Isis radicals). "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"
