The best place to be if a lightning storm comes - your vehicle (and away from tall metal structures). The storm last year was intense and I remember the strikes well. Thank goodness BMIR grounded well and no one was hurt. It was pretty obvious when the strikes were coming so best thing to do is have...

Gate is open 24/7 starting Wednesday (Monday) the week before it opens to the public. They are a hard working bunch.

But he's so cute in those suspenders and hat. You just want to pinch the sweet grumpy old man.

Woohoo Elliot! May the fire gods keep you out of their path.

Keep that hose nearby, just in case! Stay safe.

Be safe Elliot! The many broken bikes on the playa need ya.

Kids today don't get quality animation like that.

Time to dig up those old DVDs. Thanks, Ygmir!

I thought normally you'd only need resistors for those tiny LEDs with the 2pin legs? :roll: Or three pins. Or four. In your diagram above I just see raw LEDs. If they are some kind of assembled unit then they might have the necessary circuit inside -- just be sure before hitting the playa. That sai...

I don't see any resistors in your circuit. Are they part of the LEDs?

LEDs are typically pretty sensitive so you might consider resisting the flow of electrons as not to damage the diodes.

There's a pendant made from titanium?! Whoever you are out there, I love you. In fact, all you metal pendant makers rock.

Dying to see The Man Maze this year. I love mazes and this should be another interesting pavilion.

Damn liberals.

Well, unless they are walled by trash fence. Then leave them alone. They are walled for a reason.

However, I thought if it's a festering issue that could be diluting the uniqueness of the BM experience, that people should be paying attention. Oh, trust me, people are paying attention. But there's not much we can do besides talk ad nauseam about it. We won't know if the policies implemented by t...

There are plenty of threads on the subject. Not sure if we need another.

My camp leader makes the best god'damn pickles I've ever had. He's the one who got me hooked on homemade pickles. That's actually the highlight of my Burning Man. I'm hoping he'll have a jar for me this year to share. The little joys are the best!

DAB - Happy to help! Specifically with anything towards the last half of the M&G.

It will be nice to run into you at BM this time instead of at the gas station.

Got it! See you all in the dust!

A scotch man! I thought so. Well, good. Something we can drink together. I have just the stuff.

Wow torrey.smith! That's damn impressive!

St George's is so good! Possibly my favorite absinthe.

I'd bring some; but Eric likes gin -- so gin it is. With pickles.

Jeez, and here I am with my little backpack.

Nice work guys!

Firecocker!

Stay safe, ygmir. I've been in your shoes. Scary feeling. Keep things wet and good luck!

This.

Don't think we won't cut/move that shit if it endangers movement on roads.

Lighten up.

You're going to have a line waiting for you at Thunderdome this year!

Thanks, Cap. I just assumed it was a decent charge port. Guess I'd better grab that 10A charger!
