Waroduce posted:I travel for business and good travel gear is a great investment. I highly reccomend Tumi if you can swing the price, if not Timbuk2 is probably the best mid level option. Both are very high quality and can take a solid beating. I wouldn't ruck/hike/camp with it, but I've taken approx 80ish flights in the year or so and my Tumi stuff is still flawless. My Tumi backpack is my favorite possession. I like that it has an accordion extension thing so I can expand it for traveling and compact it for carrying a couple things to work. They have outlet stores where stuff gets discounted 50% so that’s a good way to go.

I was gifted a brilliant red and orange used timbuk2 messenger in the nineties that is still used for small game/bird hunting. The waterproof interior means blood doesn't drip out of it and it's bright enough to see a mile off. I just wash it out and stash it away till next year. It has handled all manner of thorns, branches, rocks etc etc.

While on Bag Talk, my new laptop/tablet/commuter bag came in 3 days ago from the Ali Express store Good Items, Good Life. It is really good for $20 bux, got it like a month after ordering. Jesus, I can't believe how long I've been using the old AAFES BX black satchel bag.

I have a Patagonia soft shell jacket that's probably about 11 yrs old and still one of my go-to items. It has a very clever design: the position of the pockets and the long tail of the coat still function with a pack with a hipbelt. Has a real, functional hood. The episode of How I Built This that aired on my NPR yesterday had Yvon Chounard. He's a real interesting guy to listen to

My North Face Recon backpack has been great for day to day usage and also for my overseas trips. One big pouch fits my laptop and iPad, and the smaller pouch to the rear holds a few granola bars, my FAK and other items in case something bad happens and I need to hunker down for a bit. I had a Chrome messenger bag that lasted for well over ten years before it started to disintegrate, and the pack I replaced it with will likely have similar longevity.

Ollie North, refusing to go quietly, has leaked to the WSJ expense reports showing Wayne LaPierre billing the NRA for $39,000 of clothing in a single day. Please keep devouring each other you traitorous shits.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:I'm just basking in the idea that Ollie North wasn't corrupt and unethical enough for the NRA's liking. IIRC he's also extremely corrupt and unethical (In his role at the NRA, not just in general obviously), and the conflict is mostly over how much everyone involved should be allowed to steal.

If I was going to steal $40K I sure as gently caress wouldn't spend it on suits. I also wouldn't steal anything, but that's beside the point.

He turned onto another block and drove past a bungalow where the owner had died of lung cancer at 58. Next was a suspected drug overdose. Next was a midnight heart attack in the bathroom, and Graham had checked for a pulse and then stayed to pray with the new widower until his children came from Wichita.

I can get behind that. They voted themselves into this position by pulling the GOP lever for the past 60 years. I hope to be remote enough when I die that a hospital would be worthless to me. Or dead already from canned sunshine. Going to a VA hospital is like a death sentence anyhow for more than anything worse than a paper cut, and you'll probably still get an infection.
