I mean, I suppose you could mine your own salt from the playa and make bleach out of it. That's pretty darn radically self-reliant.

Not sure how that lines up with LNT but I'd definitely stop by Bleach Camp if it was a thing.

oh and don't forget the bleach. Treat your gray water regularly, it will keep the smell down and also mitigate a potential health hazard.

Stay the fuck away from all of the different versions of evapotrons and wheels and gismos that are supposed to evaporate water faster, unless you want it to be your playa project that you check on, repair, tweak several times a day and spend all week explaining how it works to your neighbors. I have...

oh dear. another example of why I shouldn't be posting before I've had my coffee in the morning. :coffee: In all fairness, I can only form my judgements on the quality, and/or lack thereof, of Camp THREAT based upon rumor and repute. That being said, I'll do my damndest to make sure that THREAT live...

worst camp ever.

couldn't help but notice the $15 charge per ticket order for will-call. fifteen fucking dollars for a service that is staffed by volunteers.

I think I'm only going back to Burning Man this year to tell it to fuck off.

pretty sure this is the first time I've ever actually plonked someone...

My math says 1 TICKET, VP, TAX, FEES & SHIPPING will now dent your wallet at $721.65

yeah. that'll keep the damn riff raff out of our fancy party.

oh, damn.

and I though I was supposed to be the obnoxious one.

Mine are more existential. I can't tell whether or not burning man has helped or made them worse.

Fuck School. Do Drugs.

But Don't Go To Burning Man Either.

If you're performing labor directly for the BORG you should be getting paid.
Fuck working for free for a corporation that is profiting off of the event.

I think I'll spend my "volunteer time" building a camp and pissing off my neighbors. There. That's my contribution.

Hereafter, on this 24th day day of January, in the year of his luciferisness two thousand and twenty, I hereby solemnly, formally and officially revoke, withdraw, rescind, annul, and invalidate my apology.

Go fuck yourself.

yes.

bury me six feet deep
cover me in concrete

turn me into a street

fun is all about attitude, old man.

and Burning Man is well overdue for an attitude adjustment.

Have you reached out to Lawyers for Burners yet? They usually deal with criminal defense but might be able to point you in the direction of burner friendly corporate lawyer. But really more than a burner lawyer you need a lawyer who is good at setting up 501c3's, a good attorney doesn't need to know...

this shit right here

Raise horns to ye old gods.

Happy Solstice and bountiful Yule to you all.

don't tell me what my burn "needs"

have fun with your solar, but I need that 20 bucks for gas for my generator so I can power my big loud obnoxious sound system.

I love the "socialism/communism has never worked" argument. Like capitalism is "working". :lol: Token: got any curing and smoking recipes/tips that would produce some bacon in the style of the motherland? Shelf stable and fully smoked, guessing theres some air-curing like a traditional pancetta or b...

This:

yeah but who had the better bacon?

Why indeed, there is an app for that. It’s called GoFundMe and KickStarter ... What you lament is cooperative society. What we have is competitive society. Sadly, in the 21st century, it appears only crisis brings out some of the values from the past. TTITD has some aspects of a cooperative society...

Good: not breaking my back and bank going to that godforsaken desert the last two years
Bad: FOMO
Ugly: planning my return to that godforsaken desert in 2020

Hola and hello...

There's also the need to be in a demographic where you can afford the time off of work and all of the various costs. So if you're part of a demographic where unemployment is higher, under-employment is higher, wages are less, more likely to have family members who have less and need help, more like...
