Re: Politics, Everyday, All day... morning, noon and night....II
“so long, and thanks for all the dust.” https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/07/world/climate-change-new-ipcc-report-wxc/index.html What does this mean for long term financial commitments? With the path we're taking I wonder if any new mortgage for less than thirty years is silly, underline that for coastal...

Re: Biggest MOOP in the history of Burning Man
splendid.png So according to this b.s., if you aren't into doing the biggest thing possible to get the most attention possible, you're a narcissist? So ads backwards. What kind of gaslighting is that? That is, kind of a way to put the old-fangled Latin jargon I snuck in several pages ago. The low h...

Re: soylent
Forgotten additional, the guy with stomach aches said he'd tried to make Soylent his main playa food. Here I was, looking forward to pickles, bacon and Middle Eastern cuisine. Some Soylent supporters themselves are wary of going 100%, just in DW. People can do it and pull it off, but even the taglin...

Soylent was mentioned on Burner Podcast #84, Packing for Burning Man. One of the hosts noted it in the "List of things to never bring again", apparently it gave him stomach aches on & off playa. Ideally though, a problem like that would be caught before packing it for a trip. They had a bit of FUD a...

Re: Biggest MOOP in the history of Burning Man
The zero-effort junk that used to roll around is nothing like the big plane MV. Did m/any of said efforts become a post-event land, legal, and logistic boondogle of the jet's proportion? Its easy to armchair-criticize the things people build and bring when you’ve built and brought nothing, and yes,...

torrey.smith (or anyone),
Do you wear safety gear out there? Just curious.
I broke my wrist riding a Onewheel, I don't go near the thing without wrist protectors on.

Re: Individually Addressable LED's
When you're planning out your microcontroller, be sure sure to consider RAM. (number of LED's) multiply by (LED attribute) = working memory you will need. My application ran fine on little ten LED test strips, I changed the code to the three big strips (420 LED's total) and it went nuts! There is li...

Re: soylent
Heh. I left farting out of my first volley since it hadn't come up in the original FUD's. However, as evidenced first hand and in numerous online accounts, the farting is real. YMMV on it's viciousness though. A lot of online accounts on the Soylent board talked of hard times with the stuff. General...

Re: Biggest MOOP in the history of Burning Man
GroundStart you do a lot of speaking for an event you’ve never even attended. Almost every MV is “unoriginal” in concept. You name it, some version of it has probably been done. Super: I'll note to speak less until attending said event that allows me to speak here. What are you saying though? Nothi...

Re: Biggest MOOP in the history of Burning Man
No one seems to have a problem with boats or couches or carpets being MVs, why not planes? What is the interest in that thing besides it being big? It's a boring, resource taxing, destructive burden. Boats and couches don't cruise deserts in default world. Big planes get pulled around the ground al...

Re: soylent
Although I haven't run the numbers in a long time, Soylent pricing vs "real food" was negligible. Even at that time, I was having Soylent for breakfast, and realized for the cost I'd just might as well keep freakin' cereal and milk around. However part of the savings for me back then wasn't just mon...

Re: soylent
(old thread is old) If there's questions for someone who actually consumes Soylent, ask away. Here is some experience and response to comments above. I've never taken it camping but have often considered it and I don't think the logistics would be hard. Someone asked what if you prepare it with comp...

Re: Biggest MOOP in the history of Burning Man
Here’s a quote to consider: “I will never criticize anyone who spends time, effort and money trying to entertain me for free.” That would be agreeable if it weren't chewing up the desert and getting Burning Man long, lasting stares from umpteen Nevada government agencies. Embarrassing articles by p...

The location will be a closely-guarded secret in order to keep vandals from visiting the project with spray paint cans, torque wrenches, or whatever other tools they’d use for mischief.

Where can I get this BMIR spot?
When I was at the 2018 eBurning Man (CampEnvy, IRC, BMIR and Matt's webcam) there was a spot on BMIR about the robot apocalypse. Here's a quick recording I grabbed of it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pzcdb2hgau1bs8g/2018-08-29%2015.43.12.mp4?dl=0 Does anyone know where I can get a whole clean copy of i...

Re: Wine
Hi, welcome aboard. I won't pretend to know anything about selling alcohol, but my experiences with a friend who ran a bar have taught me that liquor laws are damned complicated. I'd start with the Nevada Alcoholic Beverage Control. http://www.nvabc.com/ That said, Burning Man isn't much a retail ve...

Hi everyone, into post alert. Essentials: I'm a former computer nerd turned electromechanical fixer. I've probably been looking at Burning Man for over ten years. Middle age, very male, straight edge (no alcohol/tobacco or other), grey ace, runner, maker. Story: For twenty years or so I've always se...
