It is possible to walk to the blacktop County Road 34. If you do this make sure you have water and the strength to walk as much as 5 miles through the mud. This isn�t a simple solution, but it is a possible one should you need or want to make the trek.

Sounds like a LOCKDOWN.

A death was under investigation at the Burning Man festival amid the rain and mud, local authorities said Saturday, and attendees were urged to shelter in place as the event was all but shut down.

The Pershing County Sheriff's Office in northern Nevada announced the death, which it said happened "during this rain event." The sheriff's office offered few details, including the person's identity or the apparent cause.

"As this death is still under investigation, there is no further information available at this time," the office said in a statement.

Rumor has it that the playa is infested with flesh-eating fairy shrimp.

That�s the truth.

I mean, the shrimp aren�t eating flesh, but it�s true that the rumor is going around.

yeah that was cringe and factually wrong.

you can also do 16 hours of volunteer shifts for a ticket, which works out to ~$40/hr

Seventeenth century Englishmen are kicking themselves for not thinking of this framing.

I've wondered how many murders happen at Burning Man and similarly remote conventions.

It would be fairly simple in regards to loving with someone's drugs in a way that no one would notice until it was too late. They crash and don't wake up, stash them where it looks like they're sleeping, perfect murder.

The idle rich seem like they'd engage in that kind of thing.

No real reason.

You�ve got to source your quotes.

Mods couldn�t even tell that this woman literally just flopped into the water, making ripples. Her hair is still mostly dry.

Hit Utz for being gross, sure, but a golden retriever could have gotten to the bottom of this �mystery�.

that�s an order of magnitude more people than the biggest cruise ships. those have log of births and deaths and a full morgue with room for a couple of bodies. so a week cruise might be 0-2 dead folks.

but lots of old people take cruises .

I�d estimate between anything between 0-5 wouldn�t be an abnormal number of deaths. I�d also think a birth wouldn�t be abnormal either.

The average person lives about thirty thousand days.

If you pick seventy thousand people at random out of the population, approximately two of them will happen to be on their last day.

He�s probably a frequentist and jealous that he�s never come up with such a quick and elegant Fermi estimate.

Why are there no bicycles in that �third of a dumpster�?

It�s because those were hauled away as scrap, so they don�t count as rubbish that was left behind.

It�s a music festival that got rained out, but that wouldn�t be nearly so funny without the reaction of participants denying that it�s a music festival that go rained out.

It�s not blood. It�s victory wine.

gotta lot of work to do striking but if you're interested at all in bm, come out. I'm happy to give an insider's perspective on what happens here. very very little of the bureaucracy and public works are publicly accessible information, like the fact that there's a decent hospital with medical imaging and MDs on site.

the media only reports on "dirty hippies rained out" and Twitter boosts awful techbro shitlords or influencers with Starlinks. I'm in a weird position where I have internet access from the org and can give a perspective that's none of the above. for all the social media panic that people were trapped here and desperate to get out of a himanitarian emergency, only 15% of people actually left yesterday when the gates opened because of how well-provisioned everyone is

Post the 2022 injury report.
