Ouch. At over $400, I wasn't exactly considering them a good value myself, but I guess that's the name of the game. I think it's going to end up being cheaper for me to get a Viosport Adventurecam 3 bulletcam setup and mount it to my current helmet than it will be to go buy a brand new helmet. The only problem is that is that then I'm going to end up with the wire between my helmet and my body. cavete terrae.

In the reasonably-near future (4-6 months) I'll probably start wanting to fly camera. I am, however, not really big on the idea of losing a camera to riser slap, or worse yet, having a nasty snag on my helmet. So after looking around a bit, the only camera helmets that seem to be an all-in-one design are from 2K Composites. is this right, or did I miss some? cavete terrae.

one of the few times i actually enjoy working on contracts that adhere strictly to the Govt JTR

I'm speaking more about the general public, more than skydivers and those actually involved with the aircraft. If anything, I personally have LESS willingness to fly on an A380 or other future superjumbos, just because it's going to take that much longer to load the damned things up with people and luggage, and unload, meaning more time sitting around doing exactly fuck all. A 200 person supersonic with seats that will fit me halfway decently is what I'm hoping to see some day. The A380 should offer cheaper seats compared to alternatives, as did the 747. That is the incentive to put up with the herd. A supersonic plane would be great for the shorter flights, but unfortunately it also means flying at very high altitudes. The Concorde flew at around 60,000 feet. A depresurization at that altitude would give most people the bends I think, never mind if you'd pass out too quickly to get an oxygen mask on. It would take a long time to descend to a safe altitude to breath. It would be fun, but we all know that planes are vulnerable to failures of all kinds. It was very fortunate that it never happened to a Concorde. Do you think those savings will be passed onto the customers? I sure as fuck don't. I don't mind the risks of flying high if it means I'm not sitting next to a fat smelly guy for 16.5 hours. cavete terrae.

More legroom would be nice. Wider seats would be nicer. I'm not even a fat guy, I'm just not the "average" 5'7" 160lber. That's up to the actual airlines though, and they've been more than happy to prove for years they don't give a shit about customers. cavete terrae.

I've been trying to figure this out. Yes, it's cool when you see them outfitted with bars, nightclubs, whatever, but in actual use, it's the same as always: Huge economy class with everyone jammed in as tightly as they possibly can, and then business and first class being where most people will never go more than once or twice. Wake me up when they're dramatically faster (supersonics would get my attention, even if only available for overwater flights), or when the airlines start putting reasonably sized seats in them. cavete terrae.

the offspring of our brother, the offspring of our sister, Uh, I think we call the male offspring of our sister the same thing as we call the male offspring of our brother. Same with the female offspring. Er, shit, I'm tired. fixing that. cavete terrae.

primo/prima in spanish cavete terrae.

Why is it not gender specific, that's what I'm asking. We have gender specific words for our male/female offspring, the female offspring of our brother/sister, the male offspring of our brother/sister, etc. cavete terrae.

We have aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, right? One word for boy, one word for girl. WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE WORD FOR COUSIN? cavete terrae.

Yeah, but it's still a good joke cavete terrae.

She was found face down in Rikki Lake! cavete terrae.

Well played cavete terrae.

I'd say I'm jealous, but that's sort of like saying Michael Schumacher drives a car decently. Well done. I hope to some day make a post like that. Though I doubt it'll be 5.5 years from now cavete terrae.

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout cavete terrae.

Yeah, after reading back through it I think you're right, but I'm going to apply anyway. One way or another, I need to get some income. I'm down to about 1 month's worth of savings in terms of rent, food, etc. cavete terrae.

According to grue, it's all solo and lesbo stuff. So what's the problem? That's what I'm gleaning from the ad. Lemme post it, one sec. EDIT: Ad is now in first post. cavete terrae.

Cinematographer! cavete terrae.

What if it's gay porn? Going by the wording of the job req, it sounds like it's all female solo or lesbian stuff cavete terrae.

There's a local porn firm looking for a videographer.. I'm probably qualified for the job, I'm just not sure if I could do the job without randomly laughing. Should I apply anyway? cavete terrae.

It's really pretty meaningless, I was just bored. I guess if you really wanted to, you could say that the lower the number, the more dangerous it theoretically is, but that'd be pretty unscientific. cavete terrae.

There's no damned way it's that slow. Most economy cars aren't even that worthless. 12 seconds to 60 is bordering on dangerously slow. cavete terrae.

A bit over six weeks. cavete terrae.

Too embarrassing to post pfft cavete terrae.
