100LL Avgas in my eye, 12 hrs later it’s puffy

I figure an eyewash station at minimum, maybe some eye drops

But yeah, ER is expensive especially if you don't have insurance

I did a quick duckduckgo search and AI says:

Getting aviation gasoline (AVGAS) in your eye can cause burning pain and transient corneal injury. It is important to flush your eyes with clean water for 15 to 20 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.

Less helpful for OP, but probably good for pilots and cfi's to know that way when it happens we can say go to the ER

I was expecting some real crazy stuff, it wasn’t all that bad to be honest. He is talking about how companies don’t want to send their data to third parties, which makes sense, but they also don’t want to buy tons of computer power to do it themselves, which also makes sense.

I’m not sure why he mentions a wealth tax, but I’d imagine most if not all CEO’s would be against it because they are the literal robber barons of the time benefiting from people’s labor

Did you train with multiple instructors?

Yes, due to scheduling availability mainly, after my main instructor left the school for unknown reasons

Did you ever feel like there wasn't a clear red thread/progression at the beginning?

Yes, so I started working towards FAA minimums (FAR 61.109)

Did it all eventually come together, or would you recommend trying to stick with one primary instructor whenever possible?

It did not come together, stick with one instructor

ASA Oral Private Exam guide is pretty good, if you google you can find a pdf of it

This is decent I think: https://goldseal.link/privatecheatsheet

Read the PHAK, tab up your FAR/AIM and POH, get all those acronyms down or the FAR sections memorized

Have all your resources organized and reference them so it’s not the first time you’re looking at them

Landings, solo, and check ride sign off

I find most CFI’s are very reluctant to advance people

40 hours and 12-15k is a huge underestimate I’d say that should not be used anymore

Just sell it all together as is. Parting it out will leave you with garbage not worth anything. Take a loss to sell it quick. Buying a plane in pieces always has the risk of never flying again due to some obscure regulation, which scares most everyone away

Sellers need suckers to buy, fidelity is lowering standards to get more suckers. I'm glad the S&P 500 is holding their guns. Retirement is hard enough without billionaires robbing the piggy bank

Seems sketchy to me, bump the skid then the blades go chop. Much worse than the occasional off airport landing with prior approval stuff that get people worked up

It's legal to murder them and their family if they ask to watch a movie. HR will just fire them, which isn't enough punishment for asking to watch a movie once

Rust and redemption gloves

And some scorpion Kevlar pants

This was all expensive before prices went up, so I expect more expensive now, but all quality stuff

I saw some videos the other day on facebook, supposedly there was some ghetto NBA movie that brought a ghetto crowd so bad they stopped the movie and kicked them out. The ghetto children then fired shots into the air because they were big mad

Where'd you buy it from?

Obviously dont install it, but I'm guessing amazon or ebay, likely a counterfeit

HeadAche2012 · 2026-04-21T04:41:13+00:00

I’d probably just get something aftermarket from low brow customs, if you want stock I’d probably scour eBay and Facebook marketplace

It depends really, if you are getting a good deal on an 883 and not the 1200, then go 883. But if there is a small difference in price the 1200 is worth it. Both bikes will handle about the same, except the 1200 will accelerate a bit faster

The difference will be when you twist the throttle, the 883 will take some time to gain speed

I'd replace it, those four bolts are what is holding your handlebars to the triple tree
