70,000 at Burning Man festival are isolated, still stuck as rain returns
Burning Man's estimated 70,000-plus attendees were isolated at the venue known as Black Rock City as rain
returned Sunday and closed roads, muddy campgrounds, and one reported death darkened the day.
But the CEO of Burning Man Project, Marian Goodell, told NBC News interview Sunday, "There is no cause for panic."
Other than food is running out.
Water is running out.
Nobody is supposed to try to go OUT.
Toilets are full -- and now people are pissing and shitting everywhere in the mudhole where they are all living.
And of course there are *rumors* of viruses spreading.
This is an interesting situation.

You were a hippie, weren't you?
Your father probably thought you were weird.

Btw, this seems like the kind of event m2 would attend.

I went back in the day a couple of times. It was super fun. 10/10
Way different event today. Would not attend. 0/10

Some Burning Man attendees leave despite ‘shelter-in-place' order
One of those who reportedly decided to flee to safety was -----> Chris Rock.
To my knowledge, Rock has not given a statement or interview on the situation.
Close to 70,000 people are still there, and it is now being reported that they may be able to start exiting on Monday morning.

This is a solvable problem. I speak from experience as a professional who build roads in the Bakken. During mud season. Tell me when you want a road to Burning Man and I'll build a road.

More projection. YOU said you could build a road. I called you out. You folded your tent. Folding a tent is not making a road. So once again you are full of shit.

Nice white flag. You do understand that what I said was exactly what happened right?
So we can add not building roads to you list of accomplishments.

My credentials in this field are well established. Yours, however, are not. Since you really want to do this, please explain how you would measure the Water Holding Capacity and Plasticity of the native soil.

Then tell us how to build the road if it’s so easy. You have had like ten chances.
I've already given you the first step. Since you know everything, please describe how step one is performed.
Or recant and admit you don't know. Do that and I'll tell you how to build a road in wet native soil. Sack the fuck up for once and admit you don't know. I dare you. I double-dare you, motherfucker.

Do you even remember what happened just a few posts ago? YOU said you could build a road and all we have gotten is the name of a test. At this rate all the 15yos you want to fuck will be of age by the time you finish.
Ok you test the soil, do you have any idea what you are likely to find it says of the soil on the playa?

Stay focused for a minute. You're contracted to build a road. How do you perform the first steps? Google won't help you on this. This is knowlege you get by doing. We all know you haven't dirtied your hands *checks notes* ever so there is no way you have the answer. I'll give you that answer when you admit you don't know. It's that simple. Sack up and admit it.

So for like the 10th time YOU said you could build a road not me. So far we have a test, for the second time what is that test going to show about the playa?
So to recap: you have no idea what a fallacy is, you have no idea what coddling is, you like 15yo girls, and the one thing you said you could do you can’t.
See this is why you got along so well at .pedo. All you people are idiots.

Is this your schtick? Claim to be able to do something and then deny and deflect over and over? I mean you did claim to be able to lay roads professionally in unforgiving environments. You could have clacked out two or three sentences, but you chose not to and now you're getting humiliated by Kierland.

You are never going to tell us what kind of soil the playa has are you?
Ok you explain how him saying he can build a road then telling me I’m the one that needs to build it is not humiliating, or at least should be humiliating if he had any self awareness.

Burning Man lifts lockdown, says 'exodus' from muddy venue is underway
Monday is traditionally the day most people leave the weeklong celebration of countercultural music and arts, but this
year the green light for departure unlocked a venue beset by impassable roads, muddy tents, and a more than 5-mile
hike to get out following heavy rains...
Which is the funniest part of the whole thing. When asked how he would build a road all he had to do was say “wait a few days” but I was certain he was too dumb for that and I was right. Instead we got a bunch of lip service about how it was me that had to explain it and some fucking test that would have told him the same thing, wait a few days. He is a shit show burning inside a dumpster fire.

Sorry I’m late getting back to this. We had a near blowout Sunday. Continental hit a pocket so hard it jumped the pipe (tried to push a mile of steel pipe out of the hole) and overpressured the BOP. Alarms went off and camp evacuated. Turned out to be a false alarm, thank god. The flare stack caught the bubble and burned it off the past few days while we provided around the clock watch. Yesterday my band of merry retards accompanied an MSHA team and they couldn’t find any breaches in containment. Whew. A blowout will make the news and nobody needs that in their life.
So…I’m back. Let’s talk dirt.
Step one, we need to know what we’re working with. Native soil needs tested and for that we call an engineering firm, usually Chuck and his mobile lab with IME. Chuck’s certification gives me some indemnity if things don’t turn out right. In the case of those stranded people in the Playa I’m not sure I’d bother calling Chuck. Fuck a bunch of Silicon Valley millionaires LARPing as hippies. If their Cruise America rental sinks into a soft spot, I’ll drag ‘em out with the loader. You got the insurance, right?
For the playa folks I’m going to wad up a golf ball sized glob of mud and bounce it in my hand to check for clay, sand and loam. Being a dry lake bed, it’s probably mostly clay but we might get a decent amount of sand due to the wind. I’m going to squeeze it real hard and see if it’ll leave my palm print in the ball and measure how many droplets I squeeze out. Looking at photos, I’m going to have zero success making a ball of soil out of that fetid soup which brings us to step two.
I’m going to extract a 2” by 48” plug of soil to check depth of water saturation. Because the Playa is flatter than Mrs. Bacefelice’s ass, rain has fewer places to go than Kierland on a Friday night so I expect extreme saturation. I also expect severe hydrostatic pressure on the berm. I’ll measure that by sticking my dick in the socket where we extracted the plug and see if it becomes fuckable. If the socket collapses and nature wraps its slimy dirt lips around my average white cock that’s not a good sign and we’ll have to feather the berm. Depending on the duration of use for this road we might have to install some tiebacks but I doubt it. Lastly, we’ll examine the 48” plug. If we can reach dry-ish ground within 24” we might be able to peel away that first 2’ and throw some rock down.
Next step: Grade. How flat is this bitch? Can we get the water to move the way we want? Probably not, it’s a fukken lake bed. Dig some pits, install some pumps, and send the water far enough away we only have to handle it once.
Assuming we can peel away the top layer of slop and put down a base before the exposed soil becomes a new layer of muck, bring me two D8, four rubber tire blades, two twin engine scrapers, couple loaders, two 8’ compactors and lots of end dumper gravel trucks.
If the slop runs too deep we’ll have to cut some deep drainages and wait for the soil to drain. If you want to know how long that’ll take, we definitely gotta call Chuck.

Was it the part where he couldn’t figure out how to build a road till he had a few days to google it? Was it the part where he talked about dirt when it’s soil? Was it when he talked about fucking his soil sample? Was it where he talked about pumping water out of black rock basin which is never going to happen? We all know why you are riding his half brained sophomoric jock.
