It’s a dangerous job. The fumes are toxic and they are constantly exposed to them in high levels.

I carry a level up in gear as injuries while MT biking are usually more severe

Bleed stop packets Gauze pads Wrapping bandages Soap Hydrogen peroxide Rubber gloves Extra joint…

I’ve helped clean up and stabilize people plenty of times. It’s nice to be ready.

Bit different as I’m on a bike but…

I bring: Enough extra water for someone else. Extra medical supplies

I believe it’s an influencer

Yes. There are many

To me yes.

I believe environment opens people up in a way not found commonly outside of the event.

It’s also a selection bias situation. Those that go are more inclined to bring open maybe.

I grew as a person, made friends, and shared feelings with strangers openly.

10/10 experience.

I agree with that.

I believe there are discounted tickets and even free tickets offered to minority artists as well as grants for art installations.

I guess what I’m saying is the largest qty of people going are of a middle/low income based on the average location called home.

The rich represent a fairly small portion. Some of the people in my camp are way above my income but their generosity was astounding. IMO BM brings out the exceptional qualities of people.

Don’t know the average but I think base price is about $600.

I heard that the main chunk of your tickets cost goes to renting out the desert and paying for the federal Ranger and local police support

Income is heavily affected by cost of living. We pay much higher rates for housing, fuel, and groceries than most of the country. Even in more of the rural areas incomes, generally SKU hire to make living somewhat affordable.

What a wonderful experience.

I loved every minute of the week.

So many genuinely kind and caring people.

The most staggering revelation I had was that many of my preconceived judgments based on stereotypes were way wrong. We camped with people that I would not normally connect with in the default. Some of these people I think have the potential to be strong, lifelong friends

There’s more in common Than there is a difference.

People go on and on about Tech, Bros and sparkle ponies, but scenarios like this, allow those of us, with the best intentions to shine. I hope this year’s Takeaway is more about the strength of unity than anything else

The census data does not support that claim

The majority the incomes are middle class (50,000 - 100,000) and as the majority of the participants are from California, that does not go very far.

Cool

I’ve only been in it a few times and only short term.

My work was in other industries

I think my point was that most people don’t understand tolerances and what a micron means.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/musk-demands-sub-10-micron-accuracy-for-tesla-cybertruck-build-quality-in-leaked-email#

Here is an article about this

Yes that is also true but in mfg people call out microns in a funny way.

Decimal places so less than .xx would be considered 10 micron as a tolerance

10 micron refers to the decimal places in machining.

Having a tolerance of .01 mm isn’t crazy on some parts.

Molds for injection molding for example

Sure but as throughput increases the amount of time it’s being used goes down. Or something

The back one is even worse. You have to pull up the cup holder mat and pry out a clip before you can pull a wire.

I’d say this is a more bifl

Absolutely

Group walks and multiple breakfasts

I love it. Similar tone as this message

If you’re on Bluesky I posted some of my favorite fun facts…

Spoiler, they are not fun

Fully agree. Pro helmet but anti mandate law.

When I lived in there Netherlands I road helmets for sport biking and didn’t for causal riding to the park etc.

Then one day I crashed in a hurry. Head to cement. Concussion, depression and headaches. After that it’s helmet almost all the time.

We should live in a world where it’s safe to ride free but recognize that accidents happen and cycling is inherently dangerous

Second the utility of the Etrex and the unfriendly UX.

Still love mine.

Helmets are pretty functional. They do lesson impacts significantly. They have saved many lives.

Requiring them is wrong.

We should ban the dangerous thing not require the life vest.

Looks like a great ramblin ride. Tough, practical and fast!

Where’s this at? Looks hot!!!

Seems like it should stay then

I don’t get it. Are they removed?

Welcome!

How do you like the durability of off road tires schwalbe.

Stupid price for a stupid truck.

We don’t need to replace our oversized ICE vehicles. We can still have massive trucks for BIG jobs. Most of our needs are no where near the F150 Lightening’s capabilities.

Readjust our needs and goals of EV utility vehicles with sensibility and affordability in mind.

I would love a EV copy of a 90’s Tacoma or Ranger. That I would buy.

Hear hear! Solid work 👏

That does sound dope. Good luck

Looks amazing. Need any help testing?

I have a feeling that you and I would get along over coffee.

Carry on and be safe out there!

Oh. Now I see it. Mobile view is misleading Thanks

Do you have a link? Interested in seeing what the device was

You would t leave your other belongings on the road. Why has leaving you car been normalized!

I’m on a 2013 Vaya. That bike changed my life. Easily over 20k miles and still going.

Happy trails

All the fuss over there really left a bad impression of that site. After many years I’m happy to shift over here
