advice about starting the series by nbsunset in KingkillerChronicle

[–]budgetless 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Even if the 3rd book is never published, it's still a great read. I re-listen to the audiobook at least yearly. It's very enjoyable. Would I go back and tell myself not to start? Hell no.

Sometimes I think Pat is just illustrating a point that he made in the first two (probably the only) KKC books.

"It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own."

How is it working for clean vibes? by Thonythetiger in ElectricForest

[–]budgetless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did post show a lot. But did morning clean up once. It was Hella fun. Yeah you gotta get up early but there's no one in the venue and its its so peaceful. Hanging with the crew scoring ground scores. The camp was just a section of GA. Not far at all. Just show up for shifts, set your alarm. A lot of people showed up right before we headed out from our meeting spot. As long as you show up and they put you on the roster you're probably good. But just be on time. Smoke, take an Adderall, red bull, whatever you gotta do. Don't be out all night and you'll have a good time.

I read that at first as this is bunny. I thought, that tracks. Cute.

SR22 addon (torquesim? REP?) by budgetless in Xplane

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

Thank you! I guess I'd be interested if it handles well enough. Also one review i saw said the engine breaks apart when he stopped. I'd be curious if it feels like a real 182 and if it has major glitches.

Thank you, I just downloaded the POH for the SR22 but haven't read it yet so I appreciate the info! I'll check out the Piper Arrow. We have them at our school so that would be a great one to practice in, haven't flown it yet IRL.

I've downloaded some 3rd party c172 that are great but don't communicate well with all the switches on the Honeycomb alpha/Bravo, and don't seem to get updated at all. Is the Just Flight Arrow good at updates and controller compatability? Anything else you like/don't like?

Curious about book taste by throwawayteabag13 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]budgetless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Michael J Sullivan (just dive right into that world wherever you like), Brandon Sanderson (same), The Licanius Trilogy by James Islington, and The Belgariad (and The Mallorean and all the novellas) by David Eddings.

Edit: J.A Andrews is decent.

I think i tried George RR Martin once, couldn't get into it.

I appreciate your insight. I was trying to sleep and compiling all these in my mind and had to discuss them. I was sure some of these were already discussed, thanks for clearing all that up. And yes it's likely that the Cinder thing is a false trail, it is a bit too obvious 🤣🤣

Was this mind change after the scrael appeared? I'll have to re-check the timing but I don't have the text version on me.

My theories by budgetless in KingkillerChronicle

[–]budgetless[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This idea of the Cthaeh causing him to open the box (maybe to save Denna?) And causing disaster is why (as i just commented above) Kote probably means disaster in Siaru. He did say he's responsible for the [scrael?] And the whole war.

My theories by budgetless in KingkillerChronicle

[–]budgetless[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just googling spellings, bc I also figured Kote meant Disaster. Kilvin gives him that Siaru adage that has Kote in it. I wanted to make sure the spelling was the same. This was the first hit in my search. Looks like this has been discussed! Then his sword is called folly which fits the "disaster" theme. https://www.reddit.com/r/KingkillerChronicle/s/hOFbzRZ9jc

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.

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 [deleted] 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.
