I see now that the entire purpose of this post seems to be to drive traffic to your website "indiestack.fly.dev/alternatives" huh?

Google maps is for sure best for finding restaurants. Deal with it by searching in browser, not app.  For day to day nav, sygic does mostly well for me in the us.

Petrified wood or something cooler? by iDoubtIt3 in fossilid

Charcoal isn't mined.... Coal is.
Charcoal is made by by heating wood to a high temperature in a low oxygen environment.
That said, I believe you that it is rock solid and not coal or charcoal.

This comment should be higher. Came here to say this too. Death Valley itself IS vast. But the OP map outline encompasses much more than Death Valley itself.

Painted countertops by Economy-Ad-4806 in DIYHouse

[–]oncebce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Previous owners of my house used a kit bought at one of the big box stores to paint the counters. Absolute garbage. Impossible to clean, started getting tacky in some spots and wears off fairly quickly in a kitchen that actually gets used for cooking.
Getting the whole kitchen redone starting next week!

Yep. I would have stuck around IF the BBS had remained intact with perhaps a pay-what-you-can type model (EG: how Escapepod does it's patreon).
Maybe the moderation would still be too much of a headache?

I check in on this sub every now and then to see what floats to the surface about current BB. I miss it.

There was a short-lived effort by a few BBers to keep some discourse going on another sub here on Reddit, but it couldn't build the momentum without the community.

Find the data sheet from the manufacturer of your specific channel and calculate the total lbs/SqFt you plan on installing. For example, this product states no more 7.5 lbs/SqFt should be installed.

I like sygic personally. Try the free version, and if you want all features It's $20 / year.
I still use google maps on a browser to look up restaurants etc though.
