Tell us the hardest thing you ever had to do, tell us the most exiting thing, and the weirdest thing!
This was attached to the mod stuff, but I will address it as life stuff.
Hardest thing - Realizing a 12 year relationship just will not work the way we want it to and being able to walk away.
Most exciting - Skydiving. The first time I went the sensory overload and adrenaline was so high that I only remember the mental impressions of it like you do a dream. The other times I went after that I actually remember the act of skydiving. Fun fact, the first time I did it my legs actually wouldn't work when I tried to step out of the plane. I was telling my feet to move, but they wouldn't like they were glued down. I had to lean forward to make my body step out into the air.
Weirdest thing - This is a hard one, since I am both weird by nature (as in usually operating outside social norms) and I have some social anxiety, so I kind of exist in my space and it takes effort to expand that space. I once dressed up in a coyote outfit that was part of my moms promotional thing at work and just randomly walked around a shopping district. meh.
Is the airline industry really as fucked up as I believe it to be? I really feel like some of these planes should not be up in the air the way they are. They seem so old, unsafe, and patched together with duct tape.
yes and no. Like any union industry, the shit people who shouldn't have a job are protected from getting fired. However, I feel safer flying now than I did before I started working here because I know that
1. Everything is looked at by about 5 sets of eyes before it gets to the point where it would break. Someone should be able to catch fuckups before they fly
2. There are backups to backups. We had a plane fly in last week with only 1 of 2 engines working. That 1 engine was enough to keep the plane flying to wherever it needed to go.
3. Everything on a commercial plane is never worked past 80% of its rated life. We replace perfectly good parts all the time because they are getting "kinda close" to the time when they might fail.
Old, yes. Unsafe, no. Patched with duct tape, its offical 100 mile an hour tape thank you veerrry much!
I think I once saw a picture of a guy here wearing tron outfit. Was that you? Are you secretly the Tron-Guy?
Yes, that was him... I think he made it himself?
The tron suit is a motorcycle suit that I bought from
http://www.udreplicas.com/ I have lost the pictures that I had of me in it. They used to be my avatar.
I did add lights to a black backpack that made it totally look all tron, but I have lost those pictures too.

What's your embarrassing piece of FOD that you forgot to put back in the toolbox of account for on inventory?
I have left whole tool bags on planes that flew to another station before. One time I left a razor knife under a seat. This is all after 9/11 so if they would have traced it back to me I would have been in big trouble.
The three insanity questions for this user:
1) If your head was made of ice and your feet were made of fire what would your genitals be made of?
Bacon, cause bacon is best.

Would you eat the baby? Please explain why or why not.

C) You must create a new global currency.
It must be available globally now
It must be rare or unique enough to become currency
It must be a new standard of currency (ie no existing traded precious metals, no seashells, pearls, etc.)
Crazy answers are good answers
What is it?
Online reputation. I would want to make a "karma" type online reputation system where anyone who interacts with you could rate the interaction and it would all collect into a meta pool where people are ranked. People with good reputation would be weighted higher for the purpose of rating others. Trolls would be devalued in their rating abilities. Kinda like an online credit score based on how you treat your fellow man.
Wad all the way. Life is too short to care about a little poop on your finger. you wash your hands after anyway. I hear in japan they don't even use paper its all poop finger.
