Too much shear along the coast for this thing to be significant
Legally speaking the defense will say she’s not mentally competent to understand her sentence and most likely the state will be responsible for keeping her alive, sucks but that’s probably the legal version

Yeah I’m aware but a big back yard and 60 or so pots. Kinda hard to figure out this problem to get water to all of them

Watering while on vacation

Besides hiring someone, does anyone have a device of some sort they use that you use while on vacation to water a large backyard full of plants that need daily or semi daily watering

You may want to do some research about how many homes in your neighborhood have generators, the last time we had a storm there were a lot of natural gas generators that failed because there was so many generators in the neighborhood consuming the available natural gas.
We installed one about 5 years ago, 9,000 gallon saltwater. Very low maintenance and use it daily. I would do it again
Well, yesterday the data came out about the super El Niño being 3.05C,,,,anything above 2C is a “strong” El Niño, and forecasters are estimating that it could top out north of 4C,,,,also yesterday we had a 50mph tropical storm that gained 110mph in a 24 hr period, that’s the second fastest ever,,,,lord save our asses when the ENSO swaps to La Niña for the Atlantic basin
The really wild part of this is that powered stretchers have been out for many years, why would you have this pice of gear for a pro sports event is mind boggling
All of the new ones have a really rough cooking surface. I would recommend finding an old one. They are sold in a lot of antique stores, they cost more but they are much better. You can use a flap disc with a grinder and use finer and finer grits and you can get the new ones really smooth

I’ve dabbled in all of it, there are some that smell and some that are quite clean. I’ve dealt with homeless my entire career that are much more smelly.

How many more years do you think you'll continue to work there? Are you employed by Burning Man corporation or contractor (or neither)?
I will go as long as I’m physically capable of going and what I require Assistance I’ll probably join the mobility camp until I become too much of a burden. I worked for a medical contractor who is employed by Burning man.

You are correct!

Any unique challenges for burning man relative to other mass participation events? We can handle a lot of cases, however the most severe are stabilized then flown out, the helo is usually close by.
What qualifications do you expect from medical volunteers? Paid staff are fully credentialed in the state of Nevada. MDs, mid levels, RNs, Paramedics and EMTs, volunteer staff have to hold the same credential, but they are not required to be Nevada credentialed
Do you carry Ativan for the people tripping too hard and having a panic attack? We carry various types of sedatives and the most commonly used as ketamine.
How many AEDs do y’all keep in that city? All the volunteer staff have full medical kits that include AED’s, I can’t tell you how many but they are quite a few.

I absolutely love drugs. All drugs. And can dive off deep into the abyss. However, 24days at burning man sounds like a living nightmare.
I enjoy the same but you don’t have to go for 24D, you can go for 3 or 4 and have the time of your life that none of your friends will ever have the experience to do so, I will caution you if you do go once it’s very likely you could get hooked

I’ve never been to Haiti or Somalia either. But I have no desire to go there just to see what it’s all about. Pictures pretty much show me all I need to know about the “experience”. Only pictures don’t have smells.
pictures cannot do it justice, there’s an overwhelming amount of kindness, peace, awesome parties, and lifelong friendships that are built there

How is the food?
for the first eight or nine days we eat at the commissary that is provided by Burning Man, three square meals a day and I would rank it probably a six out of 10, and then once our camp fully sets up the kitchen, they cook for us for the remainder of the time and I would give it a seven out of 10 . And then many mini camps throughout the event cook food and give it away and those range from grilled cheese sandwich sandwiches two pancakes to grilled meat in one year I ate a fresh lobster roll from a camp in Maine.

How do you setup the medical ops buildings to try to keep the dust and dirt out? Are there special portable buildings with positive pressure HVAC systems? Curious as to how this is handled. I assume you don't want to be cleaning wounds and doing stitches in a dirty environment.
we use three 35 x 25 medical grade tense that also have two 20 x 20 additions and then 2 20 foot long trailer trailers that are attached to them. We do an extraordinarily good job of cleaning that up and they are fully air-conditioned in fact sometimes it’s too cold in there. We were very hard to keep it as clean as possible, but invariably the dust does get in either when we have very strong winds or attendees who are covered and does that bring it in but we clean multiple times a day
