I came here to say this. Partly due to behavioral changes on my part, DDG's results have been closer to what I'm looking for. At school, they block DDG on the WiFi, so I use Google there and I have to flick past many ads and results that look good from the summary, but have nothing to do with what I'm looking for when load the page.

I'm running /e/ OS 1.8.1. Avenza seems to be the problem here. There are other apps too, but this is the lastest. It's frustrating to be required to use closed source proprietary software for public services, like the forestry maps.

Thanks! This is what I was looking for.

Osmand is great for most of what I need on a daily basis, but on a trip a few years ago, some of the hiking trails were not up to date and we got lost. It wasn't terrible, but it was uncomfortable and fortunately we had paper maps.

I would like to use the maps provided by the park or forestry service since I like to think that they're current, but they rely on Avenza which relies on Google. I'm okay taking a risk on Avenza for the short duration of the trip and plan to not give it network access, but I doubt I could do that with Google Play services, much less cleanly uninstall it after the trip is over.

I had to check the username on this comment to ensure that it wasn't me posting this. I've said these words verbatim.

devour indeed. I also had a recipe for fennel lemonade that I made with the tops.

a friend of mine will eat the whole sunflower seed including the shell. This confuses me.

As Cory Doctrow says, voting with your dollar is a fixed game because he who has the most dollars wins. Not to discourage it, though, because that would be pretty hypocritical to publicly condem the same store that you shop at, for example.

The question was about keeping the occupants comfortable with minimal fuel energy. So far, this is the only answer that factors in the human element of cooling the occupants with their own sweat. Frankly, I'd take a 5F warmer day with a breeze over a 5F cooler day with no breeze. The same goes for in a car.

On a hot day, I'll start with the windows open and AC running just to push the hot air out and give the AC a lower ambient starting temperature, but the question wasn't about how to cool the car the fastest.

I couldn't find this one, but if you're interested in playing vintage games, Archive.org has a pretty good list. They also had a way to play some of these in-browser, but I can't find it now.
