    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I go to San Marcos pretty much exclusively. I go to Spaceland in Houston once a month or so. I am currently on a hiatus until mid October when my new shit is ready. If you want to carpool up I live on Parmer/Metric Blvd area. The go to site to hunt around for gear isDropzone.comor the facebook...

    The Beer Thread

    I just went on a small holiday to San Francisco/Santa Cruz area where I used to live. This place opened up and I was quite pleased with it. Very small operation. They do not distribute even to the local area. Superb locale. But I'm a fan of HWY1 and this particular stretch as I lived here for...

    This just came in! If you were ever curious what a $550 jumpsuit looks like! Pardon the idiotic bathroom selfie, I was excited. This one is a shorty style suit for hotter climates. Courtesy of Vertical Suits. Now I need a longsuit and a wingsuit...

    You're cleared for AFF solo. But you're probably 6 coach jumps and 7 solos away from an A license. Which has a hard req of 25 jumps. Honestly go for the low hanging fruit. I first bought an alti, a jumpsuit, helmet, etc while hunting for a rig. Buy used. Seriously. First rigs can be had for...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This kind of thing was always crazy to me. I, for some reason or another, have always had really good tendencies with money and spend well below my means, saving/investing 40% of my income every year since I was 18. It was strange to read Mr. Money Mustache as I wanted to improve my finances but...

    Container options are mainly for coolness and comfort. Stainless steel hardware over Cadmium (negligible difference one is just shinier), embroidered initials on the lapel, foam padding sewn in for comfort. Colors on certain pieces. Only life saving option is the RSL (Reserve Static Line Boost)...

    A lot goes into a modern sport parachute system (rig). Here's the breakdown if you're actually interested about all of the components. Keep in mind this gear retains value insanely well. You can easily get 75% of the initial value selling a rig you've used for 6 years. I sold my old rig with a...

    I just spent $6975 on this bad boy: This is just a model, but I'll get the real version in a few weeks! Its a Sport Parachute.

    Fet is an awesome character. When the he was all, "That's the spirit Doctor!" Referring to shooting him if he gets bit. I like it. The show is coming around now that the hordes are appearing.

    So I just ordered this bad boy: Yes that is just a modeler, but they're making it! An entirely new, custom container with a smaller, faster canopy and all around badassedness. In addition to a new Freefly suit I expect to get next month. Next is the BASE rig and a Wingsuit.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah... I NEVER played Hunter at all before like yesterday. Beyond getting the basic cards... and I went from Rank 9 to rank 4 with almost zero effort. The deck is just so efficient... I argue that the free secrets benefit you the most only because it forces the opponent to make misplays to find...

    Hearthstone

    I think Deathlord is just too useful of a card. Especially as Paladin. If you have 2x Equality/2x Humility/2x Wild Pyro/2x Aldor Peacekeeper... nothing is truly scary, I've only had it backfire on me once when it drew Ragnaros at like turn 5. But when it draws Alexstraeza and they cant use the...

    This was actually a much better episode. Although The Master feeding in the concentration camp was a little weird. I am not sure I could just ignore that kind of thing and pretend it was all some terrible dream and I was just seeing things. Nazis be damned.

    Okay holy fuck. This show is so impressively bad I can only believe, based on Guillermo's tack record, that it has to be entirely intentional. The visuals will remain awesome I'm sure but GOD DAMN. "I'd rather die to this epidemic that kill people." This is my number one favorite quote in...

    The special effects are good. That will keep me watching it. The wife of that guy watching him drink steak blood out of the fridge with the vampire sucker and just casually walk off was hilarious though. Jesus, what would it take for that lady to call 911 or something?

    This series is awesome. My only gripe is General Iroh's voice. He sounds like a 10 year old. It annoys me to no end.

    The books, as boring as they were, made a great deal of effort to focus on the biological vectors of their style of vampirism. So if he had bit the CDC guys on the plane, if they didn't scream they would just collapse and the CDC would probably quarantined in reaction. Just leave it to be one of...

    Hearthstone

    That would be nice, I don't like to complain. But I would love cards that allow you to actually DO SOMETHING when playing against a Miracle Rogue deck. I feel like there is very little you can do to play around the Miracle Rogue. If his hand is decent and you have no way to get rid of the...

    Hearthstone

    Of all the decks to play against. Fucking miracle rogue is still the most gay. Seriously, fuck that stupid shit. There's something inherently unfun about playing against a deck that specifically keeps as few minions as possible on their side of the board, all the while still removing yours and...

    I like this show a lot and I've spent quite a few years in the Middle East. It does try to capture the tribal politics of the ME to some degree, but it does leave a lot out. Which is good because the nature of it is baffling... even to someone who has spent years in these countries and speaks...

    Well Khane, I certainly can understand that position. My previous relationship ended for similar reasons. I moved, she followed and I helped her land a really excellent job in the finance sector. This was her first job with A.) strong salary and B.) excellent prospects/mobility. After that...

    Yeah I never got into the Sports & Social clubs. Mainly because I hate teamsports. Triathlons/Cycling/Running/Swimming have always been my exercise jams. And I totally would have banged that crazy hot Vet. I also have four sisters and I don't think I would have hesitated for a fraction of a...

    No, I banged myself out of the Austin Beer Runner Club actually! I supplanted it with a Trail Running Club instead. Still fun, I liked the beer dynamic more for a weeknight excerise/fun event. The Trail Running people are a bit more hardcore than I like to be on a weekday afternoon. My best...

    I feel you on this. I made the mistake of banging this girl I met at a running club I had been going to for over a year. At the time, I wasn't really looking for a relationship and I told her that. Hilarity did not ensue and I do not go to that running club anymore... which is a shame because I...
