Unless Elon Musk provides a rocket trip back home to Earth The rockets are supposedly coming back. I figure what'll end up happening is average people will get hired for something like two year terms. Go up, run machines or whatever, come back if you're not down (or get fired), or sign up for anoth...

I doubt forever will catch on, especially at first. More likely something along the lines of two year terms. It'll totally end up on TV though. Who’s choosing to stay, who’s getting voted off, etc.

If there are people who bring boats and planes to build at a desert campout, I'm sure there are people willing to build martian habitats large enough to burn the man in.

With fireworks.

Starcraft 2 comes to mind.

Peace?! That's it? Puh-leeze. That's as silly a reason as I've ever heard. What if people don't get off your case though? What of you want to celebrate your visions on mushrooms? Tired of people tripping on who you marry? Maybe everyone around you is too socially liberal & you're afraid God will se...

Air? Crews have been breathing in space aboard the ISS for almost sixteen years. Submariners lurking about with their nuclear weapons don’t seem to mind providing their own air at all. I’m curious to see the effects (if any) of martian micro-gravity on the human body and the radiation found beyond l...

Poop question at 1:28:11.

You camps upwards of a hundred people might be able to pull this one off. Elon Musk gave an interesting speech today concerning his plans to fly off to outer space. The new spaceship will fly anywhere in the solar system, no experience required. playa.png So like, the opposite of ultralight backpack...

I'm curious about what the discussion of recreational drug use in a newspaper has to do with anything else that was being discussed here. Spell it out for us. I'll do my best. The idea that you would put Mountain View on lockdown Everyone who says "they don't roadblock Sacramento when a child goes ...

There are a pile of drugs in the "2C" family, and they all pretty much kick ass.

If this is the level of journalism you're speaking of, I just might have to move back to the Central Valley!

You'd never see this happen in another city like Mountain View or Sacramento!

When the Sacramento Bee starts writing about the benifits of recreational drug use, then you can compare it to Black Rock City.

Two words my good man: Condition Alpha.

Now you want to quote yourself talking about how someone else made sense? NEWSFLASH! The event isn't ruined.

That's ridiculous. Burning Man doesn't need every single extra "participant" it can get. There's already more than they are allowed to sell tickets for. They don't need to come back. They just need to realize all that glitters is not gold. And as for not changing your own oil or making parts, in fa...

I know the airport is used by a lot of real-burner private pilots, but you have to wonder, how many rich non-burner plug & play spectators drive in? The disconnected Org wants to increase airport use, to dramatically increase spectators who need to rely on plug & plays. That's their idea of the fut...

I know you're in a hurry to march the unterbürners into ovens and all, but please stop laying blame on the airport.

Don't put the rest of us in chains just because you don't like the way a few people run their show.

The usual.

I don't think we need to worry about SF anytime soon.

We never got those. I figured the program was shut down or something so it all came home with us.

Got stopped right after getting into the city Monday afternoon. At some point during the drive the tow lights failed and were no longer lighting when I hit the brakes. He asked for licence and registration, had me get out of the car, then started asking if I had any drugs. After I told him there wer...

Screw the panels, just hook it up to your car. Don't overcharge! Halfway through the week hook it up for an hour & see what that gets you. Adjust accordingly.

Yes. Expect to fistfight over the last cases of PBR at Costco.

You may want to check out Twin City Surplus as well.

Seriously, stop worrying about it.

Read the map the greeters give you. The shaded areas are off limits.

Stop worrying about being near your friends.

Go for the east side of town, it's nicer.

Under the right conditions (e.g. alpha) space in an RV would be priceless.

The idea of a full blast drunk as shit Boardroom crashing someone's meeting excites me.
