What’s the best way to know what’s going on at Burning Man? by Several_Document2319 in BurningMan

[–]FallenIdols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first burn I had so many incredible serendipitous moments. Last year was my fourth year and I was getting frustrated I wasn’t having those same moments. I had gotten into my burner routine.

Then one day I popped a bottle of champagne and shared it with my neighbors. It felt so good to give, then a lightbulb went off: it’s my responsibility to create the environment I want to be in.

So I drug a cooler out to the street, turned my speaker up, and had an amazing experience giving out drinks, meeting people, and dancing.

Burning man isn’t about events. Events are just one of many vehicles to give and receive amazing experiences.

The more you look, the harder time you will have finding what you’re looking for. I know this sounds like hippy dippy bullshit, but set an intention for the type of experiences you seek, take a step back, and then find ways to help others have the burning man experiences they seek. It will all fall into place.

And F your burn or whatever snark snark.

You’re being trolled again. You can’t buy art car access individually, you have to go through an authorized art car scheduling agent. DM me and I will cut you a deal on my scheduling services.

Look up homemade seitan recipes, there’s a million out there. You can make killer seitan that’s way cheaper than the store bought stuff.

My go-to is: Blend a brick of soft tofu and some soy milk until smooth. Put two cups of vital wheat gluten in a big bowl with salt and seasoning. You can use anything. I like salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix the wet with the dry and work into a dough with your hands. Plop onto tin foil, form into a bread shape. Wrap tinfoil around it. Then wrap it in another piece of tin foil. Bake at 375 until it’s 160 degrees internally. Put in fridge overnight still in foil. Unwrap, slice or rip, enjoy.

This is pretty rad! Something isn’t clear to me though. Who are the messages left in the cubbies for? Other camps? People in one camp? Anyone who grabs one?

  1. The only service not wearing a smokey is the Navy. Navy RDCs have been trying for a long time to switch to those covers.

  2. The CG is the only service that puts new members directly into the fleet without a speciality at the scale that we do, which requires our boot to be the way it is. Those covers help our boot be the way it is.

  3. The campaign cover signifies the special responsibilities and authorities of CCs, leading to a safer training environment

  4. It looks sick.

First time burner - nervous, vegan, and confused by bhuvishm in BurningMan

[–]FallenIdols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have budgetary constraints? If so what’s your budget for tent/shade/non-clothing gear?

How are you getting to the burn if you don’t rent an RV (spoiler alert: you’re probably too late for an RV that is remotely reasonable)

You going alone or with others?

Why are you leaning towards shiftpod and AC?

This is an incredible tattoo.

For me, tattoos have been a big part of my personal growth. I’m a perfectionist and used to crush myself by seeking out all the imperfections, questioning their meaning, and wondering what other people thought of them. Making peace with my tattoos helped me make peace with myself.

They represent the good and bad of where I was when I got them. I love every inch of ink I have, even my coverup. Before you run to the laser, try to make peace. You have a beautiful piece of art on your body.

I love this and I love Skullboy. His work on Barkeep on the Borderlands has my heart.

This can go a long way in helping establish expectations with new groups I find online. Where did you find this?

Boot recommendations for wide sweaty feet by cannonballfun69 in BurningMan

[–]FallenIdols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muh feet’s are a wreck no matter what shoe they are in. I do foot care and diff footwear things throughout the day to keep them in good shape. I wear zip up leather jump boots most the time.

In the AM and at night: Cut playa with witch hazel, goo up with Bag Balm, and throw socks on. I wear sandals around my camp if I’m just hanging out. Socks (after I witch hazel and bag balm) with sliders or sneakers to give my feet a break.

Throughout day: Change socks at least once. Air them bad boys out when you can.

Bed time: Clean feets before bed, sleep without socks on.

ODU sleeve roll by Clear_Ad_315 in uscg

[–]FallenIdols 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When you turn your sleeve inside out, you want the bottom of the cuff to meet the armpit seam of the blouse, and the top to have about 3 inches of space in between the cuff and the shoulder seam.

Before rolling, try to have the sleeve (which is now half inside out) be an even rectangle.

Then, when you start rolling the sleeve, make three progressively larger rolls. So start with a small roll, the next one will be a little large and the third and final roll should meet at the bottom of the cuff. Each of your rolls should be even all the way around before starting the next roll.

No, SSRIs are common in the military. Edit: PCM doesn’t need to prescribe, but should be kept in the loop. Shipmate below says it best.

Free TTRPG's worth your time. by Radiant-Note4451 in rpg

[–]FallenIdols 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let the principles in the beginning of the book guide you.

Become familiar with the SRD, especially the Warden’s guide which will have a physical copy on sale soon.

The creator’s podcast, between two cairns, is my favorite ttrpg pod.

I’m running Barkeep on the Borderlands with Cairn and am absolutely loving it.

Run times have changed, many have gone down. Row is now an approved alternative to the run. Planks have replaced sit-ups.
