I've had many friends who bought the equipment, then made the effort. All have failed.
After leaving the army, I put on about 12 kg = 24 pounds = 2 stones and had many false starts trying to get back into shape. Wasn't until I decided to start slow, follow a 12 week program, and just plain do it, no gadgets, no caring how I looked, that I got back into shape.
As winter came closer I had to get some warmer stuff. Now, after running tri-weekly for 3 years my running wardrobe looks like the one my friends would buy to begin with.
ESA and RKA did partner up in the early nineties to do exactly that. After the Europeans had shifted their efforts away from Hermes (the European mini-shuttle), the Russians bailed out due to economic concerns and left Europe nowhere.
I can understand why ESA would be a little reluctant to try that stunt again.
I can just picture the whole scenario. A note hanging on the kitchen wall:
"Notice! On March 18, parents will migrate to the new service as discussed in internal family-meeting on February 06. Should parents still have any questions, please feel free to contact the sys-admin (your son).
Right, but it only takes a few turns with anarchy to change into a democracy so the difference is really moot. Yes, yes, I know military units now cause two unhappy citizens instead of one, but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

Not my quote, but can't remember the source. While your comment no doubt illustrate the world as it is, here's to hoping more will see the world as it could be.
Despite the fact that you posted this AC, I'm really curious about what you're saying.
I personally have talked to very few people who have ever partaken in the production of porn, but I certainly recognize how a lot of the people in front of the camera have lived - or live - a tumultuous life.
But what puzzles me is how people only seem to focus on the female aspect of this industry. What about the guys who are brought in, expected to perform, and then flushed out?
Very few guys I've met like to engage in absolutely random sex with people they do not know. Sex is just as personal for them as it is for anybody else. It always angers me when a porn movie made with unknowns is being portrayed as particularly degenerative to the women involved, not recognizing that the guys involved wash up on a another beach, and this one strangely quiet, with no media coverage, and no sympathy.
So I take it that you consider any regular porn exploitation of women?
I would venture that either you consider both sexes equally exploited in porn - or you consider neither of the sexes exploited. Seems to me men and woman face the same choice before getting involved in the porn industry.
Both are portrayed as huge, chugging, ever-hungry slabs of meat (which is fine given that this is after all what porn is about). I fail to see why porn exploits women any more in that situation than it does men.
In Amsterdam. It's called, erhm, "Debby's Marathon" or something.
The effects are absolutely incredible, although there's only one girl and about a thousand guys.
Everything just looked real. The crew had taken care to make all effects completely transparent, even down to the KY Jelly shine.
Let me know and I'll try and see if I can find a URL for it... but you can also look for it yourself on Emule. Seems to work for all the people I've talked to.
You? I wonder who you are referring to. I'm Danish, live in Scotland.
Besides the fact that your post is an excellent example of the attitude my post is lamenting, you aren't even on topic. And you manage to goad even more people into this trans-atlantic bashing that gets us all absolutely nowhere.
Must this be an issue EVERYTIME something is specificall attested to NASA or ESA.
"Bu hu, look at what the Americans can do!"
"Bu hu, we'll build or own GPS and you can get lost!"
"Bu hu, the Euro is strong, the dollar is weak"
"Bu hu, we saved you weakling European ass in WWI and WWII".
At least the academic world is less teritorial.
Whatever NASA does, ESA will get all the data they ask for.

I hope, for one, that we plant the flag of humanity once we take that small first step on the surface of Mars.
I know I treat you like a prospective criminal, but I think I'll go ahead and lock my car-door and put the alarm on.
I'm sorry if that offends you. I know I should just leave the car open, because anything else is simply assuming that all the people walking the streets are criminals.
While I certainly can see this case from the viewpoint of parents and school administration, a warning does not give you carte blanche to do whatever you want to people
In the UK we have warnings for speed cameras, but hat doesn't necesarily make them right.
Or similarly, just because I have a sign saying "Warning! Trespassers will be shot!" on my lawn doesn't give me the right to shoot anybody who sets foot on my lawn.
Yeah, you are of course correct. The bold typeface would mean nothing to people who didn't know what to look for, except that they might be visually guided towards the actual domain first.
The problem with "Do not show this again" is that most users think they will then forget. They opt for annoyance over ignorance. I think the best solution would be for a "bubble" to pop up, pointing towards the address bar with a text like:
This address contains elements that could mean a security threat. To help you identify the website you are actually visiting, the domain name has been highlighted in bold. More information
Of course bubbles aren't really part of the Mozilla UI guidelines, so either they would have to be, or some other similar solution would have to be devised.

Amen to that, brother.

Ahh, been playing Broken Sword 3: The Sleeping Dragon, have we?
Only. Volcano expert joke. Ever.

Do we "migrate" our parents.
I can just picture the whole scenario. A note hanging on the kitchen wall:
"Notice! On March 18, parents will migrate to the new service as discussed in internal family-meeting on February 06. Should parents still have any questions, please feel free to contact the sys-admin (your son).
And, oh yeah, can I have some more pocket-money?"
Hmmm, how much do I want to play that game now. Are we sure this isn't a plant by Nvidia? :)
Well, if you are ok with being killed, he just need a few hours of bashing your head and then the pain will be all over.
The news told me everything was good and everybody was happy, so I really don't see your point :)
I had a HGNS while taking my JKL, so HYSA and he LPHN'ed me.
The 300 pound rock is attached to a chain and the dude is also bringing a baseball bat.
The ATV was never designed for people; so not the same.

Well done.
Yeah, U.N. flag seems to be the concensus.
A galaxy far, far away? Dude, is he wearing a black cape and weezez like he can't breathe?

Last time I checked we all belonged to that race.
GASP! You realize what site you are posting this on, yeah?
I'm sorry if that offends you. I know I should just leave the car open, because anything else is simply assuming that all the people walking the streets are criminals.
I guess I'm just disrespectfull of my fellow man.

And there would be no reason to pop up, which is just plain distracting.
