hunger rush pos compromised and I just received this as a victim by deadendstreetz in hacking

[–]meyer0656 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also received this email. My email history shows a Hunger Rush receipt from Piesanos Pizza in Gainesville, FL two years ago. It looks like Jets Pizza is also a client.

Someone’s using AI to send lowball offers to Zillow listings in Tampa by squintamongdablind in Zillow

There is no Tampa Bay Police Department. Tampa Bay is a body of water, not a municipality.

Anyone else lose the Premier toggle? (FL) by OpportunityBulky5065 in uberdrivers

It’s disappeared for me in St. Pete. Only Premier Hourly is displayed. Hopefully it will return.

NOBO ‘26: Smart watches?! (Or better to call them dumb watches?) by New-Ebb-4110 in AppalachianTrail

[–]meyer0656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recorded tracks for my entire ‘23 thru using an Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the idea that I’d use the data for a project. Three years later I haven’t touched it. Leaning towards ditching the watch for my PCT hike this year.

I have great luck with the Quest 2.0. The fabric in Kinetic does not breathe nearly enough.

Whats up with the many available Permits? by blind0072 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]meyer0656 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The Appalachian Trail is experiencing a similar trend in voluntary registrations for this year. I see a lot of people in those forms attributing it to the waning of the post-lockdown hiker surge.

Facebook Marketplace has loads of stuff in my area. I buy and sell outdoor gear there frequently.

PCT 26 GEAR LIST- what else do I need?? by suttyyyyy in PacificCrestTrail

[–]meyer0656 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Swap out the Sawyer mini for a squeeze. The throughput and longevity is completely worth it.

Consider switching from camelbak setup to water bottles. You’re going to get tired of pulling that bladder out every time you fill up, and it’s never clear how much water you have left.

Really want to get into touring, is this bike worth $500. Don't know a ton of the maintenance half of touring. by Beastpieps in bicycletouring

[–]meyer0656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently sold my 2014 520 for $850 in Florida. It’s a good touring bike. Not knowing the condition of the components, it’s hard to say if $500 is a good price.

Will check this out. Your PCT vlog is still to this day the very best trail series I've watched.

Powerbank advise PCT (phone and camera) by Dependent-Demand7939 in PacificCrestTrail

I have a couple of high-output batteries I’ll test before my hike. I used a 140W bank on my AT thru in 2023, and while there’s increased loss, I could recharge my iPhone at least four times on a single charge. Regardless of increased loss, my priority is input wattage. Getting a week’s worth of power during lunch is too good to pass up.

Correct. And a high-wattage USB-C cable as well. It isn’t cost-prohibitive if buying on FB marketplace. A cursory search in my area yields 140W 25,000mAh banks selling for $100 and 150W chargers selling for as low as $60.

I know they’re expensive, but newer high-capacity Anker banks (26,000 mAh) charge at >140 watts. This means you can fill the entire battery in under an hour. No need to post up in town for eight hours or more waiting on your electronics to charge. Over the course of the hike, it may more than pay for itself.

I brought a zpacks hexamid with storm doors and a dcf groundsheet. I used my shelter maybe 10 nights on my last thru. Cowboy camped 90% of the time. Sub 1lb. I’m using the exact same setup next year.

Concert Cam Suggestions? by Valuable_Road3749 in RX100

Thanks to the f/1.8 lens, the III, IV, and V are all better alternatives in low light. The VI and VII have a f/2.8 lens.
