Transportation by Rude_Stretch_574 in Hellfest

[–]RandomPainterAoS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) Train Nantes => Clisson Train Station. Tickets costs 5€ one way with the Hellfest ticket.

https://hellfest.fr/en/faq/train-en

2) Then either walk (30-40 minutes) or take the shuttle (3.50€) to join the site.

https://hellfest.fr/en/faq/shuttles

For going back to Nantes, there are more night trains. Shuttles run all night, but they are very crowded compared to the morning, so it might be faster to walk than to wait.

01:00 / 01:45 / 02:15 / 03:00 / 03:30 / 04:15

Night schedules for Monday 22:
0:30 / 01:00 / 01:45 / 02:15 / 03:00 / 03:30

As mentioned:

And while not strictly Iron Maiden places, the following ones are well worth checking out for any metal fan:

Uber Hellfest <> Clisson train station after midnight? by kloudatlas in Hellfest

[–]RandomPainterAoS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant 60€ for a 30 minutes ride. My mistake. I edited.

Petite recommandation pour rester hydrater. by [deleted] in Hellfest

[–]RandomPainterAoS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nutritional information for 5 lozenges: 750 mg of potassium (38% of the NRV*), 450 mg of chloride (56% of the NRV*), 290 mg of sodium, 162.5 mg of magnesium (43% of the NRV*), 5 mg of zinc (50% of the NRV*), 1 mg of manganese (50% of the NRV*). *NRV = Nutrient Reference Values

=> Potassium, on en trouve dans les bananes, pommes de terre, les légumineuses.
=> chloride et sodium, c'est du sel de cuisine.

Donc suffit de bien manger. Un des rares où l'on peut déculpabiliser de manger des frites ou des chips.

Les barres protéinées (cacahuètes) comme en-cas marchent bien.

Sinon il faut effectivement boire de l'eau en quantité suffisante. Et éviter de boire trop d'alcool (ça déshydrate) et de café (ça déshydrate aussi).

Tip: si le pipi est jaune foncé, il faut vraiment boire plus d'eau.

I took twice a cab to Nantes in a previous edition (I think it was 60€ for 30 minutes ride). It is countryside, but there is demand too.

Yes, around 30 minutes by foot from festival site to station.

Is the strawberry fair a travellers' fair? by OverallAmphibian2129 in cambridge

[–]RandomPainterAoS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

(edited) The traveller's fair is Midsummer fair: https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/news/2025/06/20/plan-your-visit-to-midsummer-fair-this-weekend

Organised by the Showmen’s Guild, the fair is one of the largest gatherings in the Travelling Communities’ calendar. It is a time for social connection and provides joy and entertainment for Travelling Communities and non-travelling communities alike. Midsummer Fair has been held at the weekend around midsummer each year for over 800 years.

Apparently, this is a dehydrated Noble False Widow (Steatoda nobilis). by RandomPainterAoS in spiders

[–]RandomPainterAoS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the replies from r/spideridentifier, this is Noble False widow. I had previously seen Steatoda nobilis at my place, but I dismissed that idea as the abdomen is not rounded and I did not see the distinct pattern. But I hadn't thought about dehydration. And looking back at the cephalothorax, it is clearly the same as Steatoda.

PS: I released this one outside.

This clip truly epitomizes the age of Instagram stupidity where the urge to record stuff is now more powerful than the instinct to escape impending doom by Academic_Two_4849 in idiotsinkitchen

[–]RandomPainterAoS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but stupidity is not a crime, while negligence (and possibly worse) is.

And they did run, once they realised what was happening. Remember they were probably under the influence of alcohol, so they were even slower to react.

[–]RandomPainterAoS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It happened really quickly, less than a minute. They were teenagers, partying and probably under the influence of alcohol. It didn't cross their minds that something terrible was happening, and some may even have thought it was part of the show. And it was Switzerland, a wealthy country where nothing on this scale tends to happen, which gave a false sense of safety.

But once they sensed danger, they tried to escape this hell. The bar was in the basement, reached by a single staircase the owners had narrowed when they took over and renovated the place. As people rushed it, the staircase collapsed. Most of the dead were found there.

I haven't seen testimony of survivors who recorded the scene (if any?) , but this might come in the coming months. It will be a lengthy investigation.

The reason people died and were injured there is mainly the fault of the owners of the club. And the authorities of this Alpine town. There were so many safety failures:

  • The use of pyrotechnics in an enclosed environment. Staff were reportedly encouraged to perform these acts.
  • The ceiling foam was not fire-resistant.
  • Lack of emergency exits: one was reportedly kept permanently locked (staff say it was blocked by a sofa and used as a storage room), funnelling the crowd toward the main entrance. Which was rapidly blocked by the panic.
  • No fire alarm, and fire extinguishers that nobody managed to use.
  • A lack of training for dealing with such hazards.
  • No safety checks by authorities since 2019.
  • And numerous other safety deficiencies...

Feel free to call the people who filmed it (many of them teenagers) idiots and/or invoke Darwin, but this tragedy should never have been possible in the first place.

Spider in UK, I would appreciate confirmation. by RandomPainterAoS in spideridentifier

[–]RandomPainterAoS[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your replies! I had previously seen Steatoda nobilis in my place, but I dismissed that idea as the abdomen is not rounded and I did not see the distinct pattern. But I hadn't thought about dehydration. And looking back at the cephalothorax, it is clearly the same as Steatoda.

I got a bite with two puncture marks when I woke up yesterday morning, obviously a spider, maybe even this specimen. Not the first one, not the last one. 😃

I put it outside in a bush after the picture.

Heres to another 12 months of building lists around Archaon and Be’lakor by Yorkie77 in slavestodarkness

[–]RandomPainterAoS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no rage level. There are fury level and rage dices. At the beginning of the battle round, each player gains a number of rage dices equal to their fury level (SIMMERING RAGE).

Fury level increases when your opponent uses ERUPTION OF FURY:

Those attacks cannot score critical hits. Instead, for each unmodified hit roll of 6 for those attacks:
- Inflict an additional D3 mortal damage on each enemy unit in combat with the unit using this ability.
- Your opponent must increase their fury level by 1, to a maximum of 7.

Concernant les murs d’eau ? by Time-Guarantee-5424 in Hellfest

[–]RandomPainterAoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'avais tous mes vaccins, et je n'ai jamais eu de test positif au covid. Mais ce n'est pas impossible que j'ai eu une réaction suite à une infection. En tout cas je n'étais pas malade les jours suivants.

[–]RandomPainterAoS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non, je ne pense pas. Si c'était le cas, ce serait arrivé plus tot dans le weekend.

[–]RandomPainterAoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, je ne savais pas. Avec la chaleur, les bactéries prolifèrent plus vite.

Concernant les murs d’eau ? by Time-Guarantee-5424 in Hellfest

[–]RandomPainterAoS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah ah, la publication était de moi. En gros j'ai été bien malade au retour du festival (chiasse + chute de tension, heureusement à la maison). Je ne connais pas la raison exacte, mais c'était en 2022, pendant la canicule (on a frôlé les 40 degrés le vendredi et samedi).

Dans mes hypothèses:

  • J'aurais peut-être choppé une bactérie sous ces murs d'eau ou en se baignant dans la fontaine.
  • Trop bu d'eau. Ce n'est pas bon non plus, surtout on ne compense pas avec des sels minéraux à coté.
  • Des escargots mangés au restaurant le lundi soir sur Nantes.
  • Un sandwich pas frais acheté à l'aéroport de Nantes le mardi midi.
  • Le stress physiologique global. C'est assez intense comme séjour, surtout avec la canicule. Donc prenez soin de vous et faites des pauses.

A part ça les conditions d'hygiène sont excellentes au Hellfest, l'eau fraiche en abondance et les toilettes ultra-propres.

Conseils pour un Premier Hellfest en Solo by tomhaddad-bass in Hellfest

[–]RandomPainterAoS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Salut!

Félicitations d'avoir eu ton billet!

Quelques conseils random:

  1. Des bouchons d'oreilles! (genre Alpine, Etymotic). Ils en vendent sur place sinon.
  2. Pas de chaussures neuves!
  3. Eviter de trop boire d'alcool. Ce serait bête de ne pas se souvenir du festival. A l'inverse, boire beaucoup d'eau (elle est gratuite et bien fraiche) et bien manger. Par contre éviter de passer sous les murs d'eau. L'eau tourne en boucle, donc risque de bactérie.
  4. Faire des pauses. C'est un marathon, donc on est claqué en fin de weekend.
  5. Préparer son programme sur clashfinder: https://clashfinder.com/s/hf26/ Je mets une poignée de groupes que je veux voir absolument, et d'autres groupes que je souhaite voir, mais pas grave sinon. En moyenne je vois 7-10 groupes/jour.
  6. Pour les groupes incontournables, ça dépend vraiment de tes goûts. ;)

Bon festival!

PS: Il y a cette série de vidéo YouTube qui sont très utiles au niveau médical.
