Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

Help friends and family with projects.

That's the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don't want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.

Don't use YouTube to MP3, use one of the Deemix variants that downloads music straight from Deezer's servers.

I have wanted to build a scanner camera for ages. Nicely done!

^ This. We try to enforce Microsoft Authenticator company wide and we will never be able to completely ditch call/text as an option. We have a ton of users that don't have smart phones. We have a policy to only allow call/text if a user specifically requests it.

That would stand out a lot. Probably better to just bring a couple hundred dollars and buy bitcoin when it was worth practically nothing.

Not surprising. Restaurants have become even more expensive and people already don't have money to waste. Plus many of us are remote or hybrid.

Going to have to disagree, Teleroboxer and Red Alert were awesome.

I have an Old Man Mountain Divide for my rear rack on my Haanjo. Also have an Old Man Mountain Pizza Rack that I use as the front rack on my commuter bike. They are both axle mounted which strengthens the whole setup. The Divide also has a lower pannier top rail that keeps the top of the rack more accessible for mounting stuff on top.

My only issue with their rack system is price. The racks themselves aren't cheap and adding the thru axle brings the price up even more. I decided I'd rather spend more once rather than end up having issues while away from home.

As for why they're getting downvoted, criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.

Consider an ebike to supplement your car for shorter trips. I've just opted to ride my bikes more.

As someone who has dealt with a couple dozen Surface devices in a corporate setting, I cannot recommend them. They're fine when they work. When they have issues though, they are practically impossible to repair. Keyboard port issues, dock connection issues, bricked devices, and even expanding batteries are all issues I've run into. When you have an issue, Microsoft will just swap it out for a different one rather than fix the device.

Thank you for that, definitely an interesting read. I like that they mention that even unpopular games may have people that love it.
