  1. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION The following is the nutritional information for a serving of nuun based on one tablet dissolved in 250ml (8.45oz) of water. Active Ingredients Level (mg) Sodium (carbonates) 175.0 Potassium (bicarbonate) 50.0 Calcium (carbonate) 12.5 Magnesium (sulfate) 12.5 Vitamin C 37.5 Vitamin B2 500mcg Hey Dru - isn't there a Nodder thread that you are neglecting?
  2. I'm just the guy to buy image. I'm afraid there's a little more to this product than salt and Kool-aid. Spray must be slow.
  3. I tried some of this stuff and liked it a lot. NUUN Webpage It's an electrolyte drink that comes in tablet form. One pack treats 4-8 liters of water. It has a subtle flavor and does the trick. You can't beat the convenient packaging. I've seen it at Second Ascent, Speedy Reedy, and Gregg's Cycle at Greenlake. As a bonus, it's a local company.

    Question

    ...and knotzen needs to quit being different. Some people may change the number of posts, bu most don't give a damn.
  5. Picture of Denali from the International Space Station Linkage
  6. STp has Metolius crashpads for $78. Also a good deal on Grivel crampons
  7. Lift toilet lid, add one capfull detergent. Insert cat, close lid, flush repeatedly.
  8. It couldn't be an owl. They are the silent killers.
  9. Found something - LINKAGE Zinc, Aluminum, and Magnesium The site implies that it's 7075 Aluminum. Nothing special. And here's som info on 7000 series aluminum LINKAGE #2
  10. Zircal is another fancy name for aluminum alloy. Would it have caught your eye if they called it 6065-T6? I doubt it. Most aluminum alloys are more than 95% aluminum with stuff like manganese, nickel, copper, and silicon thrown in for flavor. It's odd that Simond would mention Chromoly Steel in their alloy. It's an alloy made up of Iron, Carbon, Nickel, Chromium, and Molybdenum.
  11. That's not idiocy, that's Bullshit. I appreciate the right of the individual to not get involved, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't. To me, an armchair critic is someone who has no real knowledge of the activity and only theorizes about the situations that can occur. Look at the millions of fantasy footbal players out there. Maybe they played some high school ball, but they've never taken a hit from a pro linebacker. Rockfall on the scale that MisterE is talking about is very uncommon and will defintiely wipe you out helmet or not. I would be more worried about the more common softball size rock rattling down the gulley. You know, the kind of rockfall that the helmet can protect you from. But hey, If y'all want to keep up your self-righteous attitudes, I'm sure what I have to say won't stop you.

    hey fatty

    Why do you hate me?
  13. I don't think this is the place that you will find "armchair critics" A majority of the posters here are active climbers, or at least trying to be active climbers. It's always good to analyze someone else's accident to learn from it. That's why "Accidents in North American Mountaineering" is published every year.
  14. Bacause he has 'roid nads?

    hey fatty

    ahh-yes, the proverbial dickdoo
  16. So is there any constructive input? Don't get me wrong, the opportunity to be like Lummox for the sole purpose of being like Lummox (at least in one way) would be an enticing proposition for anyone in my lowly position, but what works for Lummox may not work for all. beeyotch

    hey fatty

    shit, I thought this thread was about me
  18. Has anyone had experiences with Singlespeed MTBs? I was on the Tapeworm the other day and realized that I hadn't shifted at all. It got me thinking about a simpler, lighter alternative.
  19. Amazing story. The best part - he was doing research on rockfall and wasn't wearing a helmet.
  20. YOu would need very efficient engines to make a supersonic aircraft feasible for a profitable service. No matter what, you need a lot of power and therefore a lot of fuel. The Gen X engines being developed for the 787 are some of the most efficietn ever, but they do not porduce enough thrust to go supersonic. There has been a lot of research done to mitigate the sonic boom utilizing special flight surfaces that produce turbulence to break up the airflow. It's pretty neat stuff. While they haven't been able to completely eliminate the boom, they have made it a lot quieter. With a few more years of reseach, they can probably get it down to levels that would allow flight over populated areas. A full composite structure can save about 20% of airframe weight while making the whole structure stronger, less prone to corrosion and more fatigue resistant. A significant amount of weight is added for a grounding system of the internal systems. In a metal airplane, all of the systems are grounded to the airframe locally. This is not possible on a composite aircraft so a seperate common grounding grid is required. The increased cost of flying this plane would be driven back to the passengers. The passengers, in turn would expect a higher level of service, which means more weight on the plane, more non-revenue generating weight means higher ticket cost, etc... In short, not any time soon.
  21. FYI - if you climb above 12,000' before the age of 20, your testicles will retreat into your body and never redescend.
  22. Especially when they fall off too soon and crash the whole damn thing.
  23. Will do. Thanks
  24. because rockets are relatively cheap when compared to a jet engine.
