I asked the realtor we contacted about this and his recommendation is that if you have property in Austin, TX and don't absolutely need to sell it to secure your next house or something then don't do it. Said he's willing to teach us how to find tenants and stuff so I'll try it out. Our current...

We have a handful of hard requirements and a general area (like 5 square mile location) we are dead set on. Looking to move quickly. All of our friends used the same realtor and said the guy is rock solid. Knows all of the builders and can get things done so we've contacted him. Going to move...

I thought he was straight and wouldn't cross swords with you?

Had DQ for the first time in years. The Flamethrower was pretty tasty.

@Ossoi bro you are almost 40 years old and you're acting like you're 23. Which is fine but seriously you're too pussy to just embrace the crazy and ride it out. Which is what I would have done when I was 23. Rather than ask advice about how to handle some psycho. If you want to live any kind of...

I think Im going to get this. https://pitboss-grills.com/wood-pellet/navigator-850

This is a good point. Thank you. I can sell my current house for a profit of $175k or so if I sold it today. I want to keep it though as the price will only increase. But I also am a bit apprehensive about the asspain of renting. All I hear are nightmare stories.

Sure but taking the hike of an 8 hour drive every single weekend to jump for one day gets old AF.

He did exactly what you should have done under canopy. Loosen up your harness, remove as much drag as you can pull the brakes halfway and maximize glide. He's lucky he's a pipsqueak and his entire rig/himself is only a 215 loading and he was going downwind. Otherwise he would have been fucked...

Once you get a certain level of experience it isn't about the "experience" of jumping is about progressing in various disciplines. Like freefly, crew, 4 way, big way... I don't know how to explain this to people that don't jump without going into extreme detail. You don't really learn anything...

That dude def handled the situation like a pro.

They simply don't let anyone jump with them if you're not part of their in-group clique. At a working dropzone half the load is usually tandem and students. Then 2/3 of the fun jump/experienced jumper load is full of clique assholes who you can't jump with and you end up jumping alone or with...

Not a bad feelgood image.

Looks like we're going to be gearing up to buy another house in Texas. Most likely in Leander as we want a bigger lot. Secondly we want to get ahead of the coming wave of Oracle/Apple/Tesla/etc hires coming in the next few years. My goal is to get a house within walking distance of the Austin...

Probably like 60 or something depending on winds. You can do some techniques to glide the parachute/thermals to really extend your airtime and speed though.

Imagine how disgusting a kfconsole will get after years of abuse by a neckbeard.

Some guy went across all of southern europe on one recently. A croatian. He'd fly like 100 miles to a gas station and stay at a hotel or whatever then do it again. Not practical of course but I'm sure it was fun.

The secret quest bike from vista del ray or whatever handles quite a bit better just FYI.

Hell yeah dude. What kind of gig did you land? If your life/personal responsibilities allow it you're going to want to max your yearly contribution at $19.5k or as close to it as you can. This will lower your taxable income by however much you put in. If you're making above $75k, the roth...

Yeah well I'm super excited to do this. Will keep you posted on my shenanigans. On a 2 stroke engine with 3 gallons of fuel these things can go 220 miles apparently.

The tunnel company promoted heavily from within at first leading to their leadership being all frat boys who traded tunnel time constantly. They still do but its way more on the downlow than it used to be. As they hired some actual financial/business operations people finally who just look at...

@Falxy-US The entire wind tunnel crowd in Austin is just absolutely full of grade A douchebag faggots. The kind you can't stand to be around at all. Think wannabes who act like they are hot shit at everything when they work in the wind tunnel for minimum wage. They push this behavior onto the...

You and me both. I've done over a thousand jumps across more than a dozen us dropzones and this tunnel fag vs skydiver shit does not exist anywhere other than Austin. It's fucking insufferable.

Why would they do this now? I've never heard of something so fucking stupid.

Hacking solarwinds is also an ideal thing to hit. The product monitors all your infrastructure and thus needs access to all of it. So if they get into it all of your routers, devices, services, etc are fully exposed. It would take forever for an org to go through all of their infrastructure and...

Yeah I get these all the time too. I don't think its worth it to use the VA loan more than once with the funding fee increase and with retail so low right now buying another house might be on the plate anyway.

I have it on good authority that Houston PPG is superior. Houston PPG will also give you free trainings if you buy, which I fully intend to do. The guy running the Austin one is a douchebag I know from skydiving in the area so long.

Finished my first playthrough in like 65 hours dicking around and doing whatever. Still missed plenty of sidequests and will revisit this game in a year or so when some DLC and mods are out. Ghost of Tsushima gets my GOTY 2020, but this comes in second place. Amazing game outside of the laundry...

I havent jumped at all this year either.

PPG exists in a situation where there's zero regulation of any kind. Even skydiving and base jumping (base has no official rules) have more restrictions placed on it.

Not to nitpick but I think it's more likely they didn't go hard into development until like 2016. Not that that excuses them.

I've decided to buy a paramotor in 2021 and take up this particular hobby. As I loathe the skydiving community (in Austin area) and people anymore this is a good compromise. @Foler you down? I'm taking the course at Houston PPG in February and buying my shit.

The Solarwinds hack is very interesting if anyone's following it. My company competes in the same space kinda and its a big deal. It's going to cost any serious company a fuckton of money resecuring their shit.

No I work for a tech company in its rapid growth phase.

Her Name is Zero Two.

Euryphel is 100% gay for Ian. Ian himself is obviously not gay though.

I lived in Tampa for years. Cigar City is awesome.

The smart double barreled shotgun is just lol to me. I love it.
