I wanted to share some experience I have with different phone companies, seeing as a lot of people here end up in various places and it can be a handy tool. At&t sucks! They will try to rob you over and over and their coverage isn't good either. Cricket has good prices but bad coverage and...

almost a frequency's i wan't to tune into have 8 or more numbers I can only put up to 6 numbers on my radio

I've only had flip phones my entire life and honestly it's been great. Very cheap service, basically indestructible, hipster as fuck, and a great conversation starter. Lately, I've been feeling at a loss as I was scrolling through my facebook because I have next to no pictures of myself, my...

Anyone have any suggestions on writing up stories and such far as writing programs go? Figured I'd start writing about the 3 or whatever yrs I spent hopping and hitching thru 32 states.And im sure others would read it. Have a laptop and tablet as well.

So far, I been using a Lenovo Tab 2 covered with a HotCool case - as far as surfing the web and accessing digital copies of books, PDF's, guides, and so forth. It eliminates most of the weight and I don't have to carry heavier physical copies of books/stuff as we all know. I like the idea of...

I've been searching around on here and seen several posts about CB Radio, Ham Radio, GMRS & FRS Radio, and Scanners; but nothing about MURS Radio. MURS stands for Multi-Use-Radio-Service. MURS uses five frequencies in the VHF Band on FM. Those frequencies are: Channel 1 151.820 Mhz (Narrow...

I'm not sure if this is the best section to post this, but there wasn't really a section on film/tv/youtube and I figured art would be the closest. I wanted to make youtube videos for fun, mostly talking about media and art with some political theory and such. I considered going with pretty...

I'm curious about which weather app(s) you guys use when traveling. Most apps have decent winter info, so I guess this inquiry is geared more toward thunderstorms. I've been messing around with different apps ever since The Weather Channel bought Wunderground and killed their awesome weather...

I can't believe there isn't a thread on this already. Being as books are heavy and there isn't always an easy or cheap way to swap them out on the road I've finally gotten hip to the idea or rolling with an E-reader. I've seen folks selling them on here but there has never been a review on...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone uses a solar charger? I been looking around and the reviews are usually mixed and im not gonna shell out 60$ for one that doesnt work. I figured if it worked, its more practical then a powerbank. So if anyone has experience with them or knows of a good one...

-precursor- i didn't know where else to post this but in a&m- so a few days ago i called it quits on FB. call it anger, animosity, or just tired of the platform itself....there's been so many reasons for A LOT of ppl to avoid it altogether but for me it was just lack of empathy from my...

https://www.everyoneon.org/ is a place where you can get cheap refurbished computers and it looks like, if you prove you are on food stamps, you can get a years worth of 4g wifi for around $200. The bulk of that cost going towards the hardware.

My idea is to make a laptop that has a low power SoC or Arm controller for doing simple browsing tasks or even playing video, but the full power laptop for when there is electricity to do more complex tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, or digital currency mining. It appears to be a...

Anyone travel with a camera and/or laptop that could kick down some tips? Looking to bring out a small compact camera and a small laptop for Lightroom edits. Anyone have experience with hard cases that are small enough to fit in a pack?

I had Verizon for a loooong time and being able to use my cell for a mobile hotspot kept me from switching to something cheaper for a couple years, but last year I capitulated and moved to Straight Talk. It gets the same coverage as Verizon, so I'm solid there, but you cannot use the phone as a...

I have a small, waterproof orange container that has a USB inside it with all of my identity information on it. I have scans of my driver's license, rsa and rcg, organ donor card, birth certificate, passport, health card, and a bunch of medical records. I made this so that if I ever need any of...
