Oh for sure and you prob never get rid of it completely, just find a healthier balance. It just feels ironic recording an analog activity in front of a smartphone

I like the idea behind this but how do you promote your analog life on TikTok without also using tech at the same time

Yea Evers has been good about making it clear they won’t prosecute for abortions. This was a (tough) choice by PP to stop abortions to continue to receive federal funding and provide other free services vs having federal funding cut off and being able to provide even less

He probably mistook +7 with -7. Classic mix-up!

Tbh I feel like less is more, and a lot of these depend on duration/climate.

Universal is good boots. I like something light waterproof and high ankle for the most versatility. I use an old pair of danners they’re pretty good, only complaint is the top is too wide and little gravel pieces get in there on messier trails. My dads got the on cloud ones and likes them a lot. Says they’re pretty comfortable.

Depending on hike length I’ll either hydrate well before or carry a water bottle (~2 hours or less) or bring a camelback bladder in a light camelback backpack (longer hike). Honestly love that thing I’ve had it 15+ years and it’s nice just getting water from a straw on your shoulder.

Next is climate. Hot: light breathable quick dry tee. Super sunny: make it long sleeve with a bucket hat and/or sunscreen. Chance of rain: light rain jacket (like you mentioned). I got a Helly Hansen one that’s built well. Cold/chilly: layers. I almost always end up taking them off once I get moving, but it’s good to have for breaks/start/end. Really cold (30-45F) would be like a puffer jacket that can pack down (I have an arc Teryx but I don’t think it’s that much better than a north face or a Costco generic). Moderately chilly (45-60F) a light mellanzana type sweater/jacket.

Food for 4+ hour hikes: I like fruit (oranges, apples, tomatoes), potato chips (the salt hits different after a good sweat), beef sticks, pb&j, and beer. Maybe an electrolyte powder if it’s really hot.

(Honorable mention to crocs or birks to get out of your boots as soon as you get back to the car)

I think most other gear is dead weight. Did a 26 mile day hike across the whole Grand Canyon with just the camelback and food (11 lbs total) and hot/sunny clothes option above and smoked all the people with 20+ pound packs and random gear

It's like the prisoners dilemma. We were top left. Some companies thought they could pay less and still reap the benefits of other employers paying well, now everyone does that we're bottom right

Also anecdotally, among my friends the ones who had it paid for/scholarships are against relief while the ones who paid it off themselves are for it. It does kinda feel like those who went through it want to save others from having to do it to

Libraries can have pretty good CD collections too

USA here, it works with both my national banks and local credit union apps. One of my credit card apps gives me a pop-up on every page that it won't work because there's no Google play services, but it actually just works anyway. Had to turn exploit compatibility mode off for a couple of them though

For me, the house I'm in was built in 1912 but it's still holding strong. My parents have me beat though, they got the original governor of south carolina's front doors which were from somewhere in the late 1700s

 
 

Made my gf a keyboard for her birthday and she's enjoying it, but is missing light up indicator when caps lock is on. I know this key sucks and I disabled it on mine but she uses it a lot for her job.

The keyset I got her is completely opaque so you can't really see the caps light unless you're right above the keyboard looking at the edges of the caps key.

I took some spare keys of the same shape and drilled holes right above the indicator light and it shines through pretty well, but want to fill it with something clear to make it look nicer/diffract the light a bit. Does anyone have any recommendations? Was thinking about using polyurethane caused I've used it for random other things and seems like it could work.

Thanks!
