What is your favorite bag for carrying school/work stuff?

Jump

  • No bag, just a Scottevest jacket with 26 pockets. Had it for a decade. It even fits a water bottle and a laptop(!) without the being visible.

    Only reason I'm not buying more/new is because they only come in black and don't have any reflective seams or anything - bad for winter use.

    You are otherwise so skilled in acute lead poisoning - maybe that could help, despite being drastically above the usual age bracket of the target demography?

  • By that logic, anything can become a light-emitting component when you give is some amps :-)

    Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, though...

    • With the ubiquity of inflation and shrinkflation, why aren't there more boycotts? When will people say enough is enough?

  • USA was never a democracy, though. It's a republic, and recent decades have shown it to become more and more the banana variant.

    • It's embarrassing and kind of pathetic that most people from the U.S. can only speak one language. The U.S. education system sucks and foreign language learning should be mandatory for everyone.

    Jump

  • German, English, Danish, Swedish, French, and the little bit of Japanese I remember from working there 20 years ago.

  • Samsung has 89 different models

    Yeah, and that's just one brand... Honestly, how the hell do I choose my next phone?!?

    • I generally pick "last year's flagship" because those are still very good several years after, but not as expensive as when just launched.
    • And flagships have the benefit of having lots of 3rd party accessories available.

    But even with these limits, there's just too damn much to choose from...

  • It is a space, so it's correct that it shows up. Non-breaking means that something like line wrap won't happen.

    Putting it in the middle of a word will show up. That trick must've been a different character.
