  • Oh I absolutely believe you. 70k is a lot of people that must draw in other personalities for sure. Same holds true for rennies tbh and we get some of the same types at times. It’s just that between the disturbed swingers, the scary conspiracy theorists and the weird middle aged loners that account for the 8 of 11 we know who went, it doesn’t sound like something we would risk doing lol.


  • Interesting story actually. I was always curious about the artistic aspect of BM, but that’s where myself and my friend groups always drawn the line (we dress up for Ren fairs).

    No offense, I believe in freedom of expression, but 8 of the 11 people I’ve ever known who frequently attended Burning Man were unconditionally HR nightmares. By that I mean there’s a very distinct personality type that seems drawn to that event and they can’t take a hint to just stfu and not talk about it at work when people are obviously disturbed by their comments.

    Understood. Only thing I could think of is that interpreted my make menu_config line as referencing linux from scratch.

    Fun fact: In the 90s, everyone had to compile a kernel using menu_config or menuconfig configurator. It didn’t matter if you ran red hat or slackware or debian, they all had you configure your kernel on some form back then.

    We would often download the latest kernel overnight from a bbs or mirror site beforehand days before installing because you often needed the latest kernel to get your hardware working.

    Anyway, no worries. I was just confused by your response.
