  • So many. Everything I love goes away. The first that comes to mind is Crescent brand au jus. It was the best out there, period.

    The next is the bruschetta chicken ciabatta sandwich that Jack in the Box used to have. Amazing.

    Uno candy bars are technically still around but impossible to find. I love those little bastards.

    There are more but I can’t think of them. Do the myriad of products that changed their recipes thinking no one would notice count? I noticed. Sometimes the new thing is dead to me.

    Also those old “fire” “rain” element drinks (sobe?) were unbelievably good. In fact sobe was so good in the 90s/00s but changed recipes and packaging so that stuff is bleh to me now.

    Original Surge cola. They changed it for the relaunch and it never was quite right. I used to have one every day before [sport] practice in high school.

    Oh! Trader Joe’s had this pepperjack quiche that was out of this world. Haven’t seen it in years. It was the only reason for me to go there.

    Edit: this post made me hungry and sad






  • Sorry, no. I forgot because I am on a plan.

    But Avenza has a free tier and I like it better honestly. Much nicer/easier to create interest points. You can use their basemap or make your own in Qgis if you have any GIS skills or use any PDF that has geo info embedded like a usgs topo map.

    You can find any usgs topo map for free from usgs and load that into Avenza easily.

    If you’re interested and this sounds like what you’re looking for I can dig up some links.

    I had to switch to Esri Field Maps for work so I haven’t used Avenza since they implemented a ton of new features but I still have it on my phone because it’s a good app.







  • Hahaha you should see the outage map of Washington State.

    What do I like to do? Nothing, I hate power outages.

    What I typically do is I have a large stockpile of candles from an old MLM scheme. I light those and play on my phone if there’s Internet. We have multiple battery banks for these occasions.

    If there’s no Internet I will read. Both ebooks and regular books because my attention will shift.

    I also try to do something productive like study for something.

    Most of all I pile like eleventy billion blankets on the bed because I’m so cold. The furry ones are poor space heaters.

    When I was a kid we always played games. Like charades or something. My dad would light the camp stove and we’d entertain ourselves for the evening as a family. They were nice.
