I’m looking for recommendations for 2700K solar spotlights to uplight a tree in our front yard.

My biggest priority is finding something that actually lasts from dusk until dawn (or close to it) while maintaining decent brightness.

I came across the solar spotlights from VOLT Lighting, but I’m not familiar with solar landscape lighting brands and couldn’t find many independent reviews. Has anyone used them? Are they worth the premium, or are there other brands you’d recommend instead?

hey all, i’m trying to sort out my travel plan for this year and would love to hear from people who have taken the burner express bus from reno.

i’m coming from portland, oregon and am considering flying from PDX to RNO, then taking bxbus in and out. i’m planning to arrive on sunday and leave saturday before the burn, so i’m trying to figure out how much buffer time to build in on both ends.

for those who have done this route:

how much time would you leave between landing at RNO and the bxbus pickup?

on the way out, how much time would you leave between getting back to reno and a departing flight?

are the buses generally on time, or should i assume things can shift a lot?

how long has the actual ride from reno to BRC taken for you?

is it worth aiming for the earliest flight into reno possible?

anything you wish you had known before doing BxB, especially around luggage, water, food, dust, delays, or getting to camp once you arrive? i noticed there are "shopping stops". anyone know what store they take you to?

also, if anyone from portland happens to be driving to BRC and is looking for a carpooler, i’d be open to chatting. i’m mostly trying to compare realistic options before booking anything.

i know playa timing is never guaranteed and i’m not trying to cut things close. just hoping to hear real world experiences so i can book flights with a sane amount of buffer and not create unnecessary stress for myself.

thanks in advance.

hey guys, looking for nyc gay bar, club , event recs based on a specific vibe.

i’m in my mid 30s and looking for places with a more mature, laid back crowd. ideally 30s, 40s, and older. i’m hoping for something casual, social, and grown without it being too sceney or cliquey.

what i’m looking for:

mature 30s plus crowd
casual and laid back atmosphere
understated, guy next door energy
chill but still social
good music
somewhere you can actually have a conversation
good for going with a partner or friend

i’m not necessarily looking for a huge club night. more like a bar, lounge, or low key dance spot with good energy, good music, and a crowd that feels grown.

i’ll be staying in chelsea, but i’m open to going anywhere in manhattan, brooklyn, or queens if it checks off most of these boxes.

can anyone give me a rundown of which nyc gay bars or clubs fit this? also curious which places i should skip based on what I'm describing. thanks!

first off, no disrespect to durante. i like him, and i’m sure the b2b will be fun. but i was a little disappointed to see ezequiel arias not get a solo set.

his sound has such a distinct, patient, deep progressive identity, very much in that argentine/sudbeat/hernan cattaneo lane, and i was hoping anjunadeep would let that breathe on its own at the gorge. does anyone else feel like he deserved his own hour?

does anyone have recommendations for a good place to work for several hours? ideally somewhere with reliable wi-fi, outlets, seating options, and access to food/coffee. i’m happy to pay for a day pass, coworking space or anything similar. not looking to take up a café table all day without buying anything.

it doesn’t have to be right in nomad; i’m willing to travel a bit if the setup is worth it. bonus points if it’s comfortable for taking the occasional zoom call.

thanks in advance!
