Paragliding

Paragliding is the use of a paraglider; that is, the activity of using the three-part gliding kite (wing, lines, resistive assembly). Paragliding may be done with unmanned or manned resistive assembly. Scale modelers and special mission paragliding may use tiny paragliders without man or woman aboard. Industrial paragliding may use smart remote-controlled or programmed robots to control the paraglider; such paragliding fulfills missions like photography, goods delivery, personnel placement, etc. The wing may fit purpose and mission and be fully limp or fully solid or semi-solid with as much rigid structure as needed for success of mission. Sport paragliding may define private classes of wing types, but that does not rule what is possible with machine paraglider. A solid and fully rigid wing may supply paraglider for specialized paragliding.

Scale modelers do scale-modelling paragliding with small paragliders; this is done in several variations. One variation is a toss and slope soar model with radio-control of devices on the paraglider, perhaps the resistive subassembly has aerodynamic surfaces; or a control unit works the lengths of the kite lines in the free-flight.

Large-scale industrial paragliding includes the use of large paragliders that feature resistive subassemblies holding fuel or goods.

Get the Paragliding mug.

paragrasentence

An extremely long sentence, that should have been broken up with a bit more spaces and/or punctuation

"And new contacts/glasses would probably help out too, had to get a damn appointment cause it had been a year so now I'm on my last pair of 3 month old contacts and my glasses have both the damn nose pieces broken off. So yeah I live an exciting life."

"Nice paragrasentence dude, English fail.

Paranoia

A conversational roll playing game back in the 1990s. What geeks played when they were feeling a little board with AD&D and just wanted a chance to play evil in game pranks on thier friends. Game setting takes place in a vast underground city after the great nuclear war. Players make clone characters in a darkly humurous marchivellian world.

Paranoia is the best game to play in Alpha Complex. The computer says so. You aren't questioning the computer are you?
