How much weight could be in those tents? I first saw that and was afraid for people.
But looking at it more closely, it doesn't look like there is any sagging or heavy spot from backpacks or sleeping bags when they are blowing around.
I'm guessing they are emtpy tents that werent staked down because noob campers might not stake them?
I would think even a weekend bag of clothes would cause the tent to hang heavy side down with a sag even if it had enough wind to get it off the ground?

We know buying tickets these days can feel like a Herculean task. For 44 years we’ve been working tirelessly to ensure those tickets go to real fans, not scalpers. Now that everything’s online, scalpers have a keyboard, an algorithm, and BOTS to hide behind, helping them to snatch up tickets before you even have a chance to type in your credit card number. It’s infuriating.
The more you spend on a scalped ticket, the less you have to spend on the next show, which just hurts everyone. You want to see more music, we want you to see more music, and artists certainly want you to see more music. Ensuring you’re paying a fair price for a real ticket is the best way to make that happen.
We’re always doing the best we can to support fans and fight back against price-gougers, but there’s only so much we can accomplish on our own without government interventions across the board.
That’s where you come in. The state of Maryland just proposed a bill to protect fans more ardently than in any other state in the nation, by making it illegal for scalpers to price-gouge, sell fake tickets, or use deceptive marketing practices.
For the bill to pass, state senators and representatives now need to hear from you, their constituents. It’s quick and easy to show your support for Senate Bill 539 and House Bill 701.
Just click here to fill out the form and let your legislators know that you want protections when buying concert tickets. It only takes a minute!
We appreciate you making your voice heard, and we’re looking forward to welcoming you back to Merriweather soon.
You know the cliche “there outta be a law”? We think so, too!

Stop price gouging
selling fake tickets, (already illegal)
and participating in other deceptive and predatory practices (already illegal especially in consumer transactions)
Perhaps the "deceptive practices" could be more specific and have specific consequences
But what is price gouging, really? Reselling is, on one hand, just free market. It becomes unbalanced, however, when a machine scoops up almost all the goods to resell. I recall that decades ago it was illegal to resell a ticket at more than face value, and this was printed on the Ticketron tickets, IIRC. Anyone got some old stubs? So was that not really the law, or was it revoked?
I don't see a feasible way to codify "price gouging." They have tried to do it with "plywood in a hurricane" but it really doesn't work on the ground.
I recall trying to scalp two of my Rolling Stones tickets in 1972. I was 13 or 14. The older guy I sold them to ending up ripping me off. The things we learn....

So employ your own bot that bans IP addresses of any attempts where keystroke rate is beyond human ability. Or institute a timeout per stage of ticket purchase, so that even if you are young and fast, you still have to wait 1:30 to choose your seat, then 1:30 to check out, etc. Seems like the people who designed the software could be more proactive than solo nerds in their basement.

But here's an interesting aspect: If a ticket is priced at $100 by the artist and his management, but the true market value is the scalper price of $200, why doesn't the artist sell them for $200 and not let some scallywag get his hard earned profit? The reason (they say) is that the artist wants to look like a good guy for his fans (or truly is a good guy) and shrugs his shoulders over what happens after his sale.
We also know that the initial scalper price is inflated by the panic factor; the first day sales are way higher than sales two weeks before the show or in the parking lot when they may go for less than face. But the average remains higher than the face or there would be no market.
I think dynamic pricing at the original ticket seller level is wrong, and is gouging, but the proposed law is not addressing that.

This lady is making news in up on northern virginia.
I mean, I think I've pondered what would happen if I just dug a shelter/room out of my basement, but I KNOW that kind of crap isn't allowed.
Should I go Deeper?
The county finally caught up to her in December and gave her a stop work order.

She believes she will be allowed to proceed, I can't imagine she chould navigate all the permits/inspections to get this done.

Last week on Tuesday when I drove my car a couple errors popped on the display, but nothing major I figured I'd look at it over the weekend.
Then Thursday when I drove to work, a TON of errors popped on the display, 'BRAKE LEVEL LOW', 'ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DISABLED', 'COLLISION AVOIDANCE MALFUNCTION', 'LANE DEPARTURE WARNING MALFUNCTION', 'HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTION', 'CHECK ENGINE' are a few of them and the speedometer/tach stopped working.
I thought maybe it was a bad battery screwing with the computer stuff so I went to advanced auto.
I popped the hood for the nice lady to do a battery check and we saw this...
A squirrel made a nest in the engine compartment and started eating the wires. You can see a bunch of chewed wires in the photo.
Total estimate for repair $8,600.
So my car is in the shop, probably shouldn't have driven it last Thursday.
My wife parked her car in the driveway, but as close to the street as possible hoping to avoid the squirrel's notice.
But no luck, she parked it at Noon, when she went out to run errands at 2pm there was a pile of chewed up sound dampening foam under her car. And I pop the hood, there is squirrel hair everywhere (no chewed wires yet though)
Now for the advice part, searching online there are tons of anti-squirrel solutions, but which of them actually work?

You are right, normally multiple error codes like that can be caused by either a failing battery or even corroded battery terminals. Those computers need a reliable 12 volts to function properly but this is just bizarre!
