I believe that is a powered parachute. You strap that to your back, add a parachute, and fly around.

I don't have anything to hide (nttiawwt), but I always figured you should buy swab as a "gift" and use fake name/snail mail address when mailing it in and set up a gmail before doing the dna test. Aren't results just emailed to you?
They already have enough of your relatives in their database to catch you.

Mine must be a dud. I have to fire from point blank (like 3-6") to even disorient a common housefly. It's boring as shit and nearly as useless. Give me an Airsoft any day.
Yeah, mine pretty much sucks. But it's the old original version. Maybe 2.0 is better.

Great news! So like 11.5 hours of labor? That's not too bad.

Yeah, I see them everywhere in town and places that grown on you shooting them here in East Texas, but there won't be any where I can actually hunt them. At least not until October when the goat weed starts dropping seed.

Watched Slow West last night. Not bad, but I probably won't have any desire to watch it again. Western with a Indi vibe. Worth watching once if you like Indi movies and westerns.

Cramming for my PPL check ride has begun. I flew with the CFI yesterday and today and I'll get in a solo day tomorrow to do air work and try to nail the short/soft field TO/Ls. Then I go back with him on Thursday, to make sure my chops are up to snuff. I'll be cramming all weekend for the knowledge part and we'll do a couple of mock rides next week before hopefully getting checked out the following week (might shoot for 9/11 cuz fuck terrorists).
Any pointers from the surly pilots out there? Gotcha questions you remember from your check rides? or other related stories?
I'm really hoping to get my ticket punched because I have a plane reserved to fly in for the USC game that next weekend.
Make sure you don't tell them you aren't concerned with knowing how to land the plane.

The catholic church made a big mistake when it stopped letting married men serve as priests. It really fucked up the religion. They deserve what they have coming to them as an institution.
Not exactly. At the time corrupt cardinals and Bishops were setting their sons up as successors and creating family dynasties to control the church's lands and power that furthered corruption in the church. Forbidding them to marry helped to curb that corruption. Of course that purpose has now outlived it's usefulness, but the original purpose was sound at the time.

The local Bishop released a statement earlier today that basically threw the Pope under the bus, so there are clearly those in the church who find this concerning.

Yeah, so say the part of the pack that is loaded is 30 pounds. That's 30 pounds bouncing around and shifting your center of gravity every time you take a step. What could be better for a rocky trail where you have to keep your footing sure and your balance steady than a constantly shifting center of gravity?
-
The last thing I want is my backpack bouncing around on the trail. I prefer it to be attached solidly to my back, thank you.

Sounds like you need some subsonic .22s, a suppressor, and a night vision scope.

Yep, The Thing (1982) immediately comes to mind. One of the best.

I think it's more of a spend less on marketing and try and piggyback on the other movie's hype.

I think part of the difference in philosophy here is related to different definitions of what is real. Aphelion seems to be of the mind that unless it can be proven to be real than it is not. Essentially that uncertainty denies reality. However, I am more of the mind that something does not need to be provable to be real in order to be real. We can use logic to demonstrate that many things that cannot be provable to be real are likely in fact real. We cannot observe any galaxies or matter beyond our observable universe. However, we know that our observable universe is growing larger each second as more light or other things that we can detect reaches us. At some point to mankind we were not able to detect the things that we can now detect. It seems logical to me that there is likely more out there that we cannot observe yet, and it doesn't spring into reality suddenly when we are able to detect it.

And one of the big differences between Baptist Churches and the Catholic Church is that for most Baptist Churches the highest level of institution is the local church itself. They do not have to answer to any higher authority (on Earth at least), so there is no other organisational structure to cover it up. If one Baptist Church covers up sexual abuse, the Baptist Church down the road is about as related to them as the Catholic Church is from an institutional level.

Yeah, I think you could say that the universe cannot be proven to exist without perception, but to follow the idea that it requires perception to exist means that nothing we cannot have the means perceive exists. What about things that we can prove we don't have the means to perceive, like stuff outside the observable universe? Can we say then, assuming we are correct about not having the means to perceive it that it does not exist?

Had a misfiring on my F150 a few years ago. Replaced the plug and coil over that cylinder and had the same issue. Had the battery tested and it was bad. New battery and the misfire went away.

So put a spear on the front of your bike in bear country?

Yeah, just free climbing the dawn wall was considered impossible until Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson did it, which is what the documentary is about. This was probably one of the biggest things in the sport of climbing to happen in the last decade.

A good primer on climbing in Yosemite is Valley Uprising. Looks like it is available on Netflix now. Very cool doc and worth the time if you are interested at all in rock climbing.

In January 2015 the world watched, spellbound, as Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson spent 19 days clawing their way towards the top of a seemingly impossible climb on the 3,000 foot vertical face of El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park. THE DAWN WALL is a feature documentary about their history-making climb, the years of effort it required, and the inspiring life journeys of the climbers. The movie goes beyond pure climbing action, paints intimate portraits of Caldwell and Jorgeson, and celebrates the universal spirit of dreaming big, and never giving up.

Brewery nearby has a rewards thing like that. You get your own mug on a shelf, and depending on how much you spend you get a full up free once a week, day, or whatever. Also get some swag and a discount or something like that.
