Not their area, but I wonder what Lawyers For ___ would think of it.

... The point here is not the fact that it's PnP camp, which we regret to have supported and learn from now. It is that the camp leaders kept money they should not be entitled to and effectively made a business out of leaving the playa dirty themselves. Benefiting at the expense of the principles a...

I agree, that it is not right to support such a Plug and Play camp. But as a virgin, we had no choice and no idea how this camp would operate, had we known, we would have looked for another one. But that does not justify us losing money to those crooks who abuse the virginity of people to fill thei...

... Then, to top it off she brought her own personal vehicle. A ugly modified motorized wheelchair. I told her its illegal she thumbed her nose.

... what I'm really curious about, is how people think a disabled person would get along with one of those on the playa. It's stable. Has the range, and redundancy to get about & explore BRC, and then get back to camp. In an extreme case, an umbrella or roof may catch wind and blow it over? Could it...

Canoe, I'm surprised at you. Why are you asking instead of looking it up? the DMV, (department of mutant vehicles), isn't hidden. The short answer is YES. If it is a motorized 4 wheel vehicle You need to apply for a permit for the event. If you are disabled and have adequate proof, you get to use i...

Canoe. It really is to everyones advantage at the event to play by the rules. Its not complicated. If you are genuinely disabled, get your vehicle permit. If not, make it art and apply for the license. Able bodied participants can create a pleasing 4 wheeler. I agree for able bodied participants. A...

Because laws, in this case disability laws, usually take precedence? Does DMV or BLM say that wheelchairs need to be registered in BRC? If that is someone's wheelchair, what does Nevada law say. What does Federal law say. But with those large & fat tires, that should be able to handle anything on th...

Could depend. E-bike is defined at max three wheels. Wheelchairs have four wheels. Is this a four-wheeled e-bike (a vehicle), or a wheelchair with large wheels made from e-bike parts? If someone who needs a wheelchair is in it, under the law I'd expect it to be treated as a wheelchair. If I was in i...

This off road wheel chair goes 20 miles per hour, and should have a range of 20-30 miles. It cost me about $3,000usd (mostly the price of the bikes). About 50 dollars worth of metal for the seat, and about 3 full days to design and assemble the whole wheelchair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3_m...

... Oh well, we are looking for less expensive options to anchor our art piece but will probably bite the bullet and get the penetrator anchors.

Make sure you consider: holding it up/down, wind loads, climbing loads.
You're not the first to anchor an art piece. See what others did.

Yup
Looks like it would be more than a little bendy (breaky) under a heavy load.
A long bare shank means the threads disturb the soil going in but don't leave threads grabbing it for much of the length.
But might work well in some soils.

... "Those who know, do not speak. Those that speak do not know" ... A simple example of how it used in Western culture may be: someone that decided they know why there are fires in California, stuck on one contributing factor that managed to register in their mind, then they're spouting off all ov...

If you got negative pressure, then something is wrong. We discussed this with other shiftpod owners, this problem exists in many different dual hose ACs, something is wrong with their design - there is negative pressure and it's impossible to do anything about it. This is very suspect. The whole po...

Dual hose means it takes air from outside through through one hose to the unit and then exhausts it outside through the second hose, independent of the inside conditioned air. If yo...

Better than an extension for standing and everyone brings their own to simultaneously anchor a dome in the dark. For light, they could use the shake-to-charge flashlights.
