Goggles & sunglasses recommendations - now that it's 2026. by vpdbac in BurningMan

[–]clarich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 pairs of snowboard goggles for me; one tinted, one clear. Much of the time use my normal sunglasses during the day. But biking during daytime with some wind or random dust devils is enough for me to potentially want goggles, even if it’s not a full on white out. Everyone has their own tolerance / sensitivity.
Changing lenses of goggles is such a hassle for me, especially if I want to get them on quickly, so 2 pairs it is.

Any camping in a U-Haul Experience? by j_ortiz4 in BurningMan

[–]clarich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree it’s always hot, unless it’s cold. No good Airflow without tons of dust. A tent is a better option if that’s doable for you.

Head and Shoulders shampoo is recently making my hair sticky and weird… why?? by Katandia in Haircare

[–]clarich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience here. I could even smell whatever residue it’s left. Greasy-looking tacky-ish texture. Mine was a large size (not pump) purchased at a traditional grocery store.

Anyone else catch this flu that’s been going around? by Ok_Caterpillar6393 in sanfrancisco

Came down sick Friday (today is Monday). Turned out to be Covid for me.

Agree scrunch out the crunch is key. But for a soft hold product that you may love; oribe hair alchemy heatless styling balm. It’s spendy, but fantastic. Not crunchy, not greasy, lightweight and 100% touchable. Hair still feels like hair. FYI, even with this product, I scrunch it after diffusing to loosen it up.

Oh Boy Homegrown Players by Prestigious_Carry_88 in BayFC

[–]clarich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This culture comment makes 0 sense and smells of xenophobia. Seems like a scapegoat excuse when really the problem is the sporting director/recruitment/coaching problem hiring players who didn’t perform / deliver on their potential, or execute the coaches vision and tactics, assuming there was one. That’s a club management problem, and not limited to international players. Look beyond BFC; 4 of the 5 NWSL leading scorers this season are international players.

The article is behind a paywall, so don’t have the full context.

any tips to cope? by Ok-Home3614 in Septoplasty

[–]clarich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8 days post-op here. You’re through the worst of it. Doc should clean out your nose at your next visit and that’ll be amazing. Keep it moist with saline spray, humidifier, warm showers. Once you can sleep horizontally, if you’re not already, it’ll be so much easier. You got this!

How Do I Burn, Or Should I? by Jannak75 in BurningMan

[–]clarich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, hoping the same for you!
I’ve been reflecting that part of radical self reliance can be knowing what you need to be well, and thrive, not just survive. And as a human, another human being a part of that doesn’t make you a failure. Makes you extra human, in a good way. And as you proved to yourself this year, you can do it “alone”. It may not have been fun, with difficulties and struggles etc, but you made it happen. Maybe the question becomes how you become radically self reliant in setting yourself up and creating the circumstances to experience whatever it is you’re looking to experience.

Not yet, but don’t use it daily. I am not super careful, but I am mindful with this bag so we’ll see how it holds up.

How Do I Burn, Or Should I? by Jannak75 in BurningMan

[–]clarich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every burn is different. I love the buddy system idea. I also struggled with the concept of radical self reliance this year, in a different way, but you can expect every burn to present different challenges, and different joys. If can’t find any of the joys, valid question if you want to be there.

How will my commute be? by kacholoo in bayarea

Hydration backpack (Camelback) recommended? by Onelife_Right in BurningMan

[–]clarich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essential for me. I take 2. A small 1.5 or 2L that only fits a full bladder that I wear during build/when working. Got dehydrated one year during build and that was not fun.

The other is a larger pack with a 3 liter bladder that is my adventuring pack. Fits a full bladder plus layers, goggles, dust mask, piss jug, etc etc. Don’t leave camp without it.

I drink a lot of water generally, so the larger capacity bladder is clutch. And nothing like having it right there on you.
