I haven’t, it should work unless the app the audio book is on has a timer that functions independently of internet connection. Putting my phone on airplane mode long enough to finish an audiobook kills other functionality I require from my phone. You could probably do it with an old phone that...
Yup, my public library system supports audio book downloads to your phone. You just have to be reasonably quick about going through it because if someone else’s is in line for the book they don’t let you renew and since it’s digital they can force the return. I can’t speak for all public...
We get no tax benefit, as a non profit we do not pay taxes and therefore aren’t eligible for a credit. We are fortunate enough to be paying with funds accumulated from renting our parking lot to a local hospital during the week.
Energy storage is a big concern but we can offset a lot of fossil use now with solar and wind and use natural gas to make up the difference when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow. Fears about the sun not shining and the wind not blowing are also a little “overblown” because with a...
Well I’m also an engineer and I’ll wager I’ve taken a few more thermodynamics and energy generation courses than you have so can speak with a bit more authority on the subject. Maybe that makes me a puppeteer rather than a puppet in your mind. Green energy is becoming economically more viable...
It’s inconvenient but so is having herds across the country infected with CWD. I know people will skip these check stations, if you do, please be responsible in disposing of the carcass. I live in a county designated as a “core cwd area”, I worry about CWD a lot and don’t want that for everyone...
I’ve been using BaseMap and found they have the trails in my area. I think BaseMap is less expensive than Gia and OnX. It’s convenient to have the trails on my phone but I also like that I found some of these trails on my own without internet and being able to see where they end up without just...
Seth Meyers and John Mulaney have some good stand up specials I don’t think have been mentioned yet. Keep meaning to watch some Burr because I’ve enjoyed what little I’ve seen from him.
Turns out I’m a deacon at my church so maybe you don’t know who “we” are all that well. I’m just having a bit of fun satirizing your view of liberals and the BHA which incidentally has more Republican members than democrats. Regrettably the comedy isn’t wholly original but inspired by a 2012...
I’ll go a slightly different route. I recently got some help getting my truck out of a snow drift by some snowmobilers. I’m embarrassed I got stuck in the first place, went down a dirt road that doesn’t get much travel looking for some solitude, squirrels, and rabbits. After only finding nothing...
The reality of more people wanting to hunt means fewer tags unless wildlife populations grow or at the least don’t shrink. Probably the best way to accomplish that is to ensure they have habitat which means protecting more land from development. It’s important to advocate for and if you can...
Depending on what sort of fishing you plan on doing you may want to sacrifice casting for packability and weight savings, consider a tenkara rod. Just a thought as I know a lot of folks aren’t familiar with tenkara.
“Empire of the Summer Moon” is good, I especially liked the first part which is broader and longer history.
“American Indian Myths & Legends” isn’t a history per say, but a collection of myths from various tribes. It’s interesting and a illustrates a different way of seeing the world than...
I think a lot about this issue and in very similar ways. I am trying to buy only natural fiber clothes for hunting and everyday life as well as being willing to pay more for quality. I try to limit my impact in nearly every aspect of life. Drive less, buy less, buy environmentally friendlier...
