OK Rick, I’ll bite:
I’ve never been to college at all.
I manage, administer, design, support and advise on technology systems and infrastructure.

I *really* want to know about why it is so fucking hard to include all 50 of the states in “neat” things like this. Do we just get lazy, or what?

OK, so.... uh... can we be done with this shit now?
Kinda tired of hearing about it on ALL the sites.

WHO THE HELL (other than whiny Giz/Jalop/DeadS) CARES???

You guys are starting to sound like a bunch of whiny kids who didn’t get your way and want to tell every adult you can about how you were wronged.

Jeebus.

Not this shit again.

Being genuine here - what is complex? I’m 16 races in, and the BS rules are actually pretty clear to me.

Incorrect.

See: Exhibit CERVEZA RACING/EYESORE RACING and a handful of others - considered by many to be the best example of fun, fast, professional racers who’ve earned mountains of respect from the other participants in the series. Don’t let Cerveza’s silly costumes and the loud audio from “The Book of Mormon”…

You seem sharp with the retorts, but dull with the facts.

So if my own personal path in life lends me to have lived in Alaska for half of my life, attended the start and re-start of the Iditarod a half dozen times, been present at a handful of other dog sled races, have friends who own sled dog kennels...
...if all that…

Jeebus - get over yourself.
Do your research, then get back to us about this “ritualistic torturing” and “murder”.
Prick.

Because when you live in these areas (many of which are no where near as barren and remote as this video may have you believe), you are constantly dealing with the threat to life and property from wildfires, so there is often a sincere desperation for preventing and fighting these fires.
Having none is bad. Some are…

Texas: Alaska’s little sister.

Officials on the sidelines are normally assigned one *half* of the field to cover, so he likely was positioned right at the half-line from the start of the play.

If you look closely at 2:15, you see that two aircraft actually make contact (wing to tail) and get hung up on each other for a second.

Holy Jeebus.

I don’t understand your comment. What do you mean?

It’s a little different than that
- any smartphone with a camera can use the Wowza GoCoder app (free) to broadcast to RaceCast.me
- A GoPro connected to a Teradek Vidiu hardware encoder can pipe the video signal out to RaceCast.me

Orbiter is correct.
It’s important to remember that the aircraft of aerial firefighting are all different “tools” at the disposal of the individual incident commanders.
There are many different types of fires (deep forest, brush fires, grass fires, etc...) and different tools are used for different needs. Hence, the…

Have to put these things out. There may not be dense population centers nearby, but you can’t just let them burn. There are rural homes scattered all around in danger and small towns nearby some of them.

Yea - What of it? I don’t ALWAYS play Wiffle ball, but when I do...

It’s from the company that makes the equipment.

Incorrect. Widespread wildfires are bad for the planet as a whole.
