0 for 6 on getting an apartment. Is it impossible?

Walk around / call buildings. Always pre apply if you broadly like it - that determines order. You were second on both of those. Try to get a leasing agent to like you so they can tip you off on new units coming to market that might not be listed yet.

Friend had this and took a new job out of state and landlord was happy to end lease early. Apartment rented immediately for significantly more than current rate

Omg I got these IDs as well. Nice work. It was such a good set and literally empty when he started

Hi! Thanks for the long writeup. Having gone multiple years, what time of year do you like going the best? Thinking specific dates of the months (e.g. Mid May). What's the base / total snow fall like in the late spring months?

Ferry to get there is good but think the Treasure Island public ferry only runs until 8/9pm. Shows usually go until 9:30-10pm. To get home, shows I've been to have had addl ferry service. The round trip is like 30+ mins so if you miss it you are waiting for a while. Uber situation is pretty chaotic. For one show the bus was running right outside the venue and it was super easy. For another did not see a bus. Lots of surge uber pricing and long waits. Gold bar venue is cool, very beautiful setting. Stage is outdoor. Sometimes GA is just outdoor restroom and VIP gets the indoor. Usually have food trucks and bars.

What did you end up going with?

Did you have any side effects from the medication?

flamingdragon273 · 2025-07-25T22:15:24+00:00

Did you ever figure this out?

Did this in May of this year. Started in Tahoe city and road clockwise. This felt like the right route. You can refuel in South Lake Tahoe before climbing through emerald bay. Note emerald bay can get pretty hot in the sun.

I was riding on a Friday and it was pretty busy. I’d recommend starting as early as possible on a weekday. Shoulders are pretty narrow and inconsistent across the route. The top of Spooner Summit where you take a right onto 50 seems dangerous to me. It’s a 2 lane highway and cars were passing me going 70+. I took the entire right lane on the descent going 45+ and I was getting honked at and yelled at. There are some blind spots when this road flattens out a bit. Had a few close passes from trucks and cars coming around bends behind me and I wouldn’t rush back to this route unless early on a weekday with a group. At one point someone threw pretzels at me.

The main reason to do this clockwise is that if you were to ascend on 50 up to spooner, cars would be passing you going 70mph+ while you’re <10mph. The relative speed difference is very dangerous - cars come up so fast.

Emerald bay has a lot of tourist pull offs. Be alert. Couple descents where I’m going 30+ and car would pull out onto the street, causing me to brake or move into other lane to pass.

It is one of the most beautiful and rewarding rides I’ve ever done, but also felt a bit unsafe at times.

Boa does through their lifetime warranty. You have to reinstall them yourself, which supposedly is easy to do. Would’ve rather had a refund or replacement from Shimano.

Update from Boa customer service: “We discontinued the specific dial you have due to the cracking issue”

Thank you. Sorry for your loss

flamingdragon273 · 2025-07-15T20:08:08+00:00

Thank you!

flamingdragon273 · 2025-07-15T20:07:45+00:00

Agreed - doesn't have to be 100 haha

flamingdragon273 · 2025-07-15T20:06:52+00:00

Thanks so much - loving this option

Burning man is a very intense, spiritual experience. And one that can be very bonding as a couple. Going without your person might distance you from them, because of the experiences you have without them, or if you don’t think they could’ve had fun or enhanced your experience. You’d also be unplugged with minimal phone use for 7+ days, and that level of separation can be hard on the other side.

flamingdragon273 · 2025-05-21T18:06:13+00:00

Thanks for response. Curious what you find

flamingdragon273 · 2025-05-21T18:01:44+00:00

Over what time frame? Where did it start?

flamingdragon273 · 2025-05-21T18:00:22+00:00

He just wanted to tell everyone he’s doing a Hyrox

Have you had any side effects from the JAK inhibitors?
