One of my favorite apps is PeakFinder, it shows local topography in an AR style UI. It also shows where and when the sun will set given the mountains around you! Well worth the few bucks.

I wear mine to sleep and that's where I get tremendous value out of it! I have small kids who are up one or more times overnight, and it's the first thing I check - is it midnight? Closer to 4am? Helps me make immediate decisions

Seconding fastmail. I have a catch-all and can reply from any address I please. If I reply from an email sent to retailer@mydomain.com it even auto populates the "from" address for me with "retailer", or I can choose to

Not OP but I have the Anker 3-in-1 Cube and it was $150 when I bought it a year or two ago. It charges a phone, watch, and airpods at the same time, and sparks joy for me. https://www.anker.com/products/y1811

I'm a longtime rock climber and climbed a tower professionally back in another life. With most things, it's practice with the gear that builds trust in your system. I can do most anything at a height these days because I know that

I believe VW Vortex[0] is (or at least was) the largest forum by number of users. I have a Tacoma and receive dozens of replies on Tacoma World[1], usually within an hour, on posts I've made with questions or comments about the vehicle

Hey Chris, Dave KI6YMZ here :) We did a SOTA peak many years ago in CO together! You should check out HIRF-6 as well. Similar payload, and has been airborne since September of 2016! https://www.qrp-labs.com/circumnavigators.
