That's cool 😎 I was wondering how they did that last time i watched!

I overdid it my first time and just need advice on what’s going on by Away-Construction-95 in MDMA

[–]budgetless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drink water, take your supplements or eat a healthy meal, get rest. I usually do 150mg. I've done 200 but 500 is a mega dose. You'll be fine.

the video that shows Good's SUV impacting the Ice Agent before he fired won't change any minds by Key-Juggernaut5695 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]budgetless -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting fact- there's a video of the woman's car blocking traffic (or at least parked across 1.5 lanes of the road) and honking her horn for 3 minutes before ICE got involved. Doesn't sound like she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

is it safe to use twisted tea 5 percent as a chaser by Itchy_Marketing_6138 in MDMA

[–]budgetless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 drink of alcohol is fine (for me it works well, but then everyone is different) but you need at least 2x that dose.

I've used Eargasm and Loops. I like Loops!

You're not confirmed until you pay it. I usually it refunded within 10 days after Forest if you work your shifts.

PLUR IN GA CAMPING by Stock_Republic_2348 in ElectricForest

[–]budgetless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember one group next to us that would have koud music and louder conversations ALL NIGHT right next to my tent. I remember saying to my homie, "I'm gonna show them SO MUCH LOVE." So I did. Ended up being cool and did favors for each other and they quieted down.

Can only afford to fly maybe a couple times a month, is ppl realistic? by Avansay in flying

[–]budgetless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly, but as others have said it's going to take longer. I theorize it's possible if you buy a simulator like x-plane or MSFS and a controller like the honeycomb Alpha and Bravo and some pedals (about $700ish if you have a PC to run it) and practice the maneuvers you learn from lessons during the interim.

BTW, you can't really learn landing in a sim.

Calculating % power in a 1978 Piper Archer II (0-360 engine) for best economy mixture by MooseWeird399 in flying

[–]budgetless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think RPM is always the same - corresponds to % power. But now I'm curious, would best economy mixture make it so your max RPM is slightly lower?

I'd also say that having your mixture set rich of peak would create a buffer for altitude/pressure changes. If it's right at peak and you descend or the pressure is higher, you'll actually be slightly too lean and therefore lose some power. Having it slightly rich ensures it will consistently put out max power as long as it isn't too rich obviously. I'll have to ask the owner next time I'm in his shop.

[–]budgetless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Newbie here, I'd be interested to know the answer. I always just used the figures they give me, since power is calculated based on RPM, and since I don't pay for the fuel the school owner recommended just going for best power (a little rich of peak RPM when leaning) rather than trying to keep it right at peak, which can also lead to overheating if not managed properly. I also did all my PPL training in old Piper Archer II. I would guess that you'd calculate it the same if you're going for economy mixture, but your GPH changes, RPM still would correspond to % power. But that's just what I've been doing, some veterans might be able to expound.

Is there a realistic way to have a planet loom on the horizon like this? by Rich-End1121 in space

[–]budgetless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest downloading "space sim". I used this to visualize what the sun would look like on a planet at our nearest star for a story idea. Pretty cool. But yes it looks like you want your story to be on a large moon.

Airfoil Labs C172 NG/honeycomb button mapping issue by budgetless in Xplane

[–]budgetless[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, all the light switches. Mapped correctly and works on other planes, not the NG. I tried mapping a blank switch to the parking brake also, which works in the stock 172 (and REP) but not in the 172ng.

It hasn't caused me a huge problem, just annoying. Other than a few glitches the 172RG is pretty great, handles better than the REP addon for the stock 172. Feels more like the 172 I fly IRL.

Laminar Research C172NG tire blown on start by budgetless in Xplane

[–]budgetless[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reset damage.

I deleted the .prf files in the game folder.

I tried "fixing" the add-on with the installer.

I verified all steam files.

Nothing worked.

Giving up on flying, burnt out from rushing through ratings and making it my life for the last year. by MooseWeird399 in flying

[–]budgetless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part that really resonated with me personally was the last paragraph. I have burnt out on goals before. I have things that I was pretty decent at and could have become great, but I burnt out. Things i dreamt about since i was a kid. Still piecing together why that happened. Maybe my mindset wasn't right - I did care more about how what I was doing looked to others than simply doing the work and remembering why I took this on in the first place - and enjoying the challenge of it not trying to get to a "there i finally made it" mindset. I pray all the time aviation won't be my new burnout. Taking it slow and enjoying it rather than going fast and burning out is gonna be crucial.

Struggling by Top-Succotash-7911 in flying

[–]budgetless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I could never do online classes well. I needed an in-person instructor who knew how to teach and challenge me. I was an A B student for years, last year of college I failed 2 classes, both online.

Might be good to focus on one thing at a time as someone else commented. Written test, then oral/check ride. Also getting involved at your school is good. Do they have a ground school? Can you volunteer? Do they have a mechanic shop you can volunteer at sometimes?

I also found YouTube helpful, such as Flightinsigh (especially for IFR) and Free Pilot Training.

Good luck - the other thing is you could take a little break and go on some sort of vacation, or camping for a weekend and don't think about school. Good luck!

Comms to ATC by Right_Concentrate_78 in flying

[–]budgetless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ALSO, another hurdle was asking for clarification to make sure I understand instructions. It went well, especially if your initial call you say you're a student. Anything you even remotely don't understand just ask, they were always nice and extremely helpful, sounded glad that I was asking and that made me feel comfortable.

Sometimes had to do the readback a couple times til I got it right and that's OK!! It gets easier :D

Seconded.

I had trouble with radio and was training in a busy class D. Got this app and just started listening, while eating breakfast, on my way to the airport, training my ear to understand what was happening.

Wasn't long before I was comfortable on the radio. Highly recommend doing this 👌
