Ad-free search engine<\/strong>
\nThere are at least 10 alternative search engines to Google, each with a different emphasis, such as better privacy, or non-linear displays, or long-tail results. Recently I\u2019ve been using\u00a0Neeva<\/a>\u00a0as my default search app. (It has a Chrome extension that makes it the default in the browser.) It offers a different business model: a subscription without ads. So unlike Google these days, I get only answers and no long list of camouflaged ads to skim over. I would say the answers are comparable to Google so far. Right now Neeva is free, but will be about $5\/month once out of beta. I will be happy to pay for it, or until Google offers a ad-free subscription option. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

A timeline of food<\/strong>
\nI became fascinated with the history of food after experiencing the\u00a0Last Supper in Pompeii<\/a>\u00a0exhibit and seeing up close their cookware and wine vessels and foods. This\u00a0food timeline<\/a>\u00a0is equally fascinating. A Food History Librarian has outlined the beginning of food, beginning with water & ice, and has transcribed ancient recipes found in her research. She started her project in 1999 and continues to update it. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

New Tile Slim for wallets<\/strong>
\nI keep a\u00a0Tile Slim bluetooth tracker<\/a>\u00a0in my wallet. If I misplace my wallet, I can use my phone to make the tracker chirp. If I misplace my phone, I can press the button on the tracker and make my phone chirp. The 2022 version of the Tile Slim is out. It\u2019s still as thin as 2 credit cards, but has an improved range of 250 feet. I bought one for my daughter, who recently had a scare when she lost her wallet (someone found it and returned it fortunately). \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Bicycle touring<\/strong>
\nMulti-day bike touring is way under appreciated. Touring by bicycle is inexpensive, not difficult, covers a lot of ground and is very satisfying. Great with small groups, too. You can use almost any bike, including ebikes. If you are new to touring on a bike, try following a proven route. For the US go to\u00a0Adventure Cycling<\/a>\u00a0for many detailed annotated routes (where to go, eat and sleep). There is an increasing number of no-vehicle, bikes only routes, which are a fabulous experience. For bike touring in Europe, this overview article\u00a0Cycling In Europe<\/a>\u00a0by Adventure Cycling is the best place to start. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Ultra absorbent hair towel<\/strong>
\nThis is an update to a\u00a0previous Recomendo<\/a>\u00a0and specific to medium-long haired readers. This\u00a0soft, microfiber hair wrap<\/a>\u00a0is a turban-style towel that has a small button on the back and a loop to secure it in place. It is very light and comfortable to wear and it squeezes out and absorbs most of the water out of my hair. It does everything my old AQUIS hair towel did, but slightly better. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

World music by decade<\/strong>
\nRadiooooo<\/a>\u00a0shows a world map. Click on any country, then click on a decade from 1900 to the present time and it will start playing music from that time and place. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
