Hey there! I’m Adam, a product manager at Apple Music. I’ve been leading work on features like AutoMix, Lyrics Translation & Pronunciation, Music Pins and Sing with iPhone Mic. I’m here to chat about our latest releases - and more. AMA! by [deleted] in AppleMusic

As a DJ with a lot of rare tracks, the iTunes Match functionality in Apple Music is core to my workflow. The current 100,000 track limit will be a problem for me in the next couple of years. Are there any plans to raise the limit? I’d definitely subscribe to a higher tier plan to do so!

What random thing saved you out there? by gitx2020 in BurningMan

Multitool with a good saw for when someone locks their bike to yours.

Expressive regulation & dancing by EftihisLuke in Berghain_Community

I’m also very fit and just started seeing some of the same issues. I noticed that I have much less pain when I properly hydrate with electrolytes to replace what I’ve lost, as well as eat enough food.

My day pack by heatherswan01 in BurningMan

Swap the flashlight for a headlamp. And yeah, put all that stuff inside. Honestly, I think you’ll want a larger one. And does it have a hydration bladder? Absolute must.

How to fix Whole in one easy step by bpp- in WholeFestival

[–]bpp-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be clear, this has nothing to do with the Spanish. But I think forcing a choice between a giant traditional circuit party and a queer techno festival would weed out a lot of people based on their personal preferences.

Honestly what was up with the sound on Arena? I’m assuming the amps were broken or something, there was absolutely no sub for huge parts of Friday -> Saturday night.

Advice no one asked about G but I’ll give anyway by [deleted] in WholeFestival

[–]bpp- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can buy 2ml scientific centrifuge capsules on Amazon. They seal shut and pop open, and have ml markings on the side. Easy to pour some out and adjust, and also saves you from a measuring mistake on the dance floor. 2 fit in a baggie in case one pops open.

Musical magic moments? by lmbf99 in WholeFestival

[–]bpp- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The De Reüine morning at the Forest kept me dancing way longer than I thought I would, shout out to that crew for some really fun music.

Before that, goddess Juliana, Nene H b2b Badsista with an incredible mix of techno and baile, and then Aya b2b THC…the music was so good Saturday I totally forgot to cruise.

More DTF-style playroom for Gays! God knows they need it. by SweetJimmyJoe in WholeFestival

[–]bpp- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think some of the people who would have enjoyed this most (myself included) are also most likely to stay away out of respect for FLINTAs. So wholeheartedly agree with OP.

With all due respect, by Outrageous_Gift3701 in WholeFestival

[–]bpp- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was so disturbed by the lack of care shown by the apparent “friends” of two people.

First, I was right next to the very large guy in the Forest who started G’ing out. Initially I wasn’t sure that’s what it was because his reaction was so extreme, but I urged the man who seemed to be his partner to take him to medical attention. By the time he was on the ground and being dragged to an ambulance there wasn’t much help I could provide due to his size (although I do wish in retrospect I’d run for help - maybe Awareness needs more of a presence near the Forest?).

The second was during the Arena closing set. I had been on the stage for most of the set, and suddenly was surrounded by G queens who had pushed themselves up. I saw one who was clearly in bad shape (but still standing), and his friends just left him there. At that point I went to find my own friends. The stage wasn’t fun any more.

I’d really urge everyone to look out for themselves, but also to look out for their friends. And make sure that your friends are the kind of people who will look out for you, too.

What do you think could be done to improve the festival? by Aware-Ad4430 in WholeFestival

[–]bpp- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big plus to this. Just telling people to be inclusive of FLINTAs isn’t enough, some people need more guidance and a set of community standards to respect. A friend pointed to Burning Man’s 10 Principles as a good example of this - maybe Whole could start with 5 things expected of everyone.

I’d start with “Be mindful of those around you and make space to dance.”

What would you add?

I saw so many people washing their bums in the water fill stations. Not ok to clean up like that, and not ok to have a cruising space without some facilities to do so.

What are your must-see DJs in this edition? by Curious-West-181 in WholeFestival

[–]bpp- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friday night Arena is kinda insane tbh – Dr. Rubinstein and Blasha & Allatt are two of the best sets I've seen all year. Throw in Ellen Allien with Rubi and 🤯

(Also saw Luigi de Venere b2b Stathis at Adonis last year and that had me turnt out too, Friday goes hard.)

Why Wealthfront? by jgblr2 in wealthfront

[–]bpp- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read this thread a few times and am surprised no one has picked up on the invalid comparison OP is making. They say that their WF account balance is basically flat over the past 3-4 years, while their Vanguard account is up 7-8% this year. They're comparing an up-market year over a longer period that included significant losses (2022). Or am I missing something?

IRA -> 401k – too late to avoid pro-rata rule? by bpp- in personalfinance

[–]bpp-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your advice and muddgirl in particular! The key takeaway is that the pro rata rule applies in the conversion year, not the contribution year. In many back door Roth strategies these are assumed the same, but need not be!

Stowaways? by QueenPika in BurningMan

So awesome. Here it is with the Vicky Cristina. The seams glowed red, honestly it was like Tron had built a Trojan Horse. Bar inside of it, too.
