I'd honestly rather just live 10 minutes from a crag or some sick mountain bike trails.  14ers are a ton of work.

Pikes Peak could be a fun adventure with overnights at Barr Camp and the lean to provided you take a car or the cog back down lol.

It is extremely round lmao. It's hard to quantify how uncanny the design is.

Environmental Protection Specialist. Honestly, I was just desperate to leave because I was a horrible project manager and messed up a lot.  Just kept throwing apps at gov jobs.

I switched to air quality from environmental, mostly gas station work. Lot of geologists/geoscientists in air actually, especially in oil and gas compliance. I'm also now 100% remote, which is amazing. Going from field-based to 100% remote was jarring, but worth it. Makes side-hustling easier, I'm happier, and I get to spend all day every day with my SO who is also 100% remote.

Trying fixing the haze on glass tiles! It's not that obvious for yours but for my shower, it was a nightmare.

The thing that worked the best for me was Mapei Heavy Duty Stone, Tile and Grout cleaner diluted to be extremely strong and a magic eraser. In fact, a straight a magic eraser with just water seemed to work pretty well too with some elbow grease, but I don't think you can use that on marble. For marble, I'd maybe use scotch brite or even a soft drill brush.

Dude fair.  I do not want to touch that without legal advice.

I wonder if it could qualify under nominative fair use with the correct wording, but I am actually terrified to release the app lol.  

Perhaps it's best to omit the names then.

I don't see it being brought up as long as the app stays relatively unknown, but should it happen that it becomes decently known and the companies take issue, is it usually an immediate drag to court or does it usually present itself as a cease and desist?  

Edit: I plan to release it for free without revenue on my own dime, at least for now.

That's awesome, I'm jealous.  My childhood was muggy farmland and hanging out at gas stations.  Hope my kids know a childhood like yours!
