Actually, it's self sustaining and the burners are churning around the mud until all of the garbage they've left behind over the years sinks deep under the mud. Nature is healing!

Vampire Panties posted:I extremely doubt there will be a next year. IIRC Burning Man started as a beach party in San Francisco in the late 80s, until they got kicked out and someone knew about Black Rock Desert. It moved out to the desert in the early 90s and because it was BLM land (and the nerds throwing the event got the proper permits) there wasn't much they could do about it. The whole area was declared a conservation area in 2000, and since then its been an ongoing battle/negotiation between BRC, BLM, and the locals. BRC makes a big deal about how they they should the next one in dubai

It's the same way a cult works! You convince a bunch of too-riches that you can take that money, which obviously isn't fulfilling them anyway, and really fulfill them with spiritualism and community. Sure, it's via drugs, sex, and isolation- all coincidentally tools of manipulation- but bro, you're with so many people who get you!

I want to step in to defend the Seattle person. Portland also used to get hot once a year. Maaaybe 90 for a day or two. Because of that very few homes were built with A/C, because why would you need it? In 2021, 82 people in Multnomah County (where Portland is) died of heat-related causes, most were older people living alone. It hit 116 during that heatwave. In 2007 the London marathon reached a staggering 72.6 F, leading to 1 death and 73 hospitalizations. Regional sensitivity to heat is a real thing and way more places should have A/C. That said, dont go be an idiot in a desert and gently caress up land. Do the native people on the nearby reservation even get any of this money that pours in?

Yeah IDK a lot of those people say "you don't need money to live" but it's just like, you're just like 2 or 3 people away from some guy with money who buys your food and crap so it's like, you haven't bested the capitalist system, some guy is still going to a store somewhere and buying your poo poo. Now you just have the equivalent of some weird druggie parents who make gross food choices for you and buy you ugly plastic disposable clothes. None of this poo poo is circumventing the economy somehow because you sewed some devil wings to a bra.

The problem is more when it hits 104F, like it did here last year, because, well, nobody's house is air conditioned and not all offices/shops are either, plus nothing is architected with heat in mind either (indeed the idea is more to keep heat in). There's no respite. It's a lot easier to cope if you can at least sleep in non-sweltering weather.

My favorite season used to be summer. Part of that was being a kid and part of that was that as a younger adult, longer days meant more time to do stuff. Now I kinda hate summer. Fall is probably my favorite season because summer is over for a while. I don't even mind the cold and wet of Winter any more. Just sick of heat.

The company I work for does heavy duty towing. To pull a semi out of a ditch in winter Costs 10 to 20k depending how long it takes and how much equipment is used. And we are local to where they crash. I imagine every medium duty rv and up is going to have a 50k dollar tow bill at least. I'm sure the wealthy will start a bidding war to pull their poo poo out first so I wouldn't be surprised if people are prepared to spend 60 to 100k to get their poo poo out.

Burning Man itself has their own heavy construction crew called the DPW (Department of Water and Power) with full blown earth moving equipment and cranes. They do all the heavy lifting and large scale art construction like the temple and the Burning Man itself. They are notoriously fueled by drugs and alcohol and have a reputation of being creepy. They typically do a fair amount of vehicle towing but I don't know what they charge. A lot less than a commercial offroad towing company I would guess.
