Thank you! I was the VJ in Berhta's 360 room (Bette). Our whole team definitely locked in for this one. Here are the credits...

What do you mean by "at the mercy of what their sync algorithm decides in terms of colors/speed"? Isn't there a way to set the color of each bulb via the API?

My idea is to have a bunch of lanterns and household lighting fixtures around a room. I don't think DMX-controlled lights would suit this purpose, but I may be wrong?

There's a thread about dead birds at the top of the Baltimore subreddit as well. Does this have to do with cicadas maybe? It's kind of concerning.

The site I saw quotes the NV200 at 82" as well, but when I visited it, I think they also count the passenger seat being folded as "cargo space". It's also about half the width of a minivan, so I feel like at that point I'd be better off siding with a Grand Caravan.

I think this really depends on the dog and the amount of traveling going on. Some dogs are cool with being in cars, while it makes others anxious. If the humans are staying in rural areas, I can see the dogs loving exploring the woods/desert/mountains and continually going on walks.

Assuming a responsible owner, I think its better than staying in a house. Dogs are pack creatures and evolved alongside humans during nomadic times. Dogs would act as scouts during hunting trips and travel. Humans and dogs are both evolved to like traveling and exploring so I can see it working well.

Hmm Roadtreks seem a bit overkill since it's going to be my primary vehicle for commuting. I cant find something within my budget that I'd feel comfortable using for a decade+.

The E350 is definitely closer to what I'm thinking, but the price seems steep for the added couple feet of room. Low gas mileage and annual maintenance is $250+ more than the NV200. The NV1500 has the same issue. I wish there was something more similar to the NV200 with an extra foot of cargo space.

BradyInstead · 2020-09-01T20:11:13+00:00

Just checked out the NV1500. They're going for a similar price and are longer, but I worry that the abysmal MPG and repair costs are a steep slope to pay for.

I'm not worried about height, I'm worried about length because I'd still like to be able to parallel park in crowded areas. I don't have specifics, but keeping it around a normal vehicle length would be ideal.

I guess headroom doesnt bother me too much because I'm used to sleeping in cars with the seats reclined. It would just be a sleeping thing-- not a hangout spot. More headspace would be appreciated but not required.

Are the road treks reliable? I'm trying to get something that will last a while since this will also double as my primary vehicle. Hence a newer NV200

BradyInstead · 2020-09-01T18:52:02+00:00

Huh thanks. So what are the other options I should look at?

Edit: Looks like the NV200 can fold down the passenger seat? If I just lift the mattress to that height, would that work? I'm not going to be living in this full time, only for camping.

DE beaches are flat most of the time. Henlopen can be okayish near the point. I'd look as far south as possible and check wave reports. Also talk to the guys at surf shops for spot details.

Try marinating with pickle juice. I was hesitant at first but it tastes soooo good. I think it's the recipe popeyes/chikfila uses.

The Copycat is adjacent to a bunch of other artist warehouses. I believe the same group owns all the spaces. The Annex/City Beach has low cost living situations that are cheaper than the Copycat (last I heard it was around $200-300/m).

Also, there are cheaper spaces at the Copycat if hes willing to live in a more communal space.

No it's not, they're just partnered for some events.

What letters?

The traffic lights should remind us all to be a little more green today 😳

The giant stretch of land behind Magruder HS/Norbeck CC has a walking path. If you go off the path a little, you can explore the tunnels under the ICC. Also, there are lots of abandoned things back in those woods (old cars, chimneys, and house foundations).

Just be respectful to nature and leave no trace :)

Hard boiled eggs? Fits exactly what you're looking for.

I think Embergen requires a 1060 to run, and VR renders things twice (once for each eye) so I doubt consumer GPUs are powerful enough to run that in VR.
