      I need to constantly remind myself just how strong wood is. I have an aluminum boat and a fiberglass boat, but both motor mounts are wooden. Wood is amazing... incredibly strong yet flexible. Alternate grain directions and you can make anything.

    As a sailplane pilot myself, I have watched many videos of pilots flying $100K gliders and was getting bored with it. This video is a pure delight -- the real joy of flying!
    And for those of you that think the pilot is crazy: from what I can tell, the aircraft is well designed and constructed, albeit minimalist, and the pilot well trained. I think the biggest risk he faced was walking his glider back to park it (after landing) while barefoot, and getting his foot stung by a bee.

      No, because there's no evidence at all that we are reincarnated or have past lives.
      Everything we know or remember is stored in the brain, so when die that brain rots away.
      So how, would your memories transfer to a new body if reincarnation were to be a real thing?
      Better to go on the reasoned assumption that you only get one life, don't waste it believing there will be anything else, savour every moment like it's your last, because in reality, it is.
