Darn Tough socks.

I had a small hole in them and contacted support and they told me to send another photo of the socks after I destroyed them. Then I got reimbursed.

I was under the impression I have to send them in and they are repaired. Nope. Probably my mistake to assume.

> Onebag travel is unquestionably the best way to travel. Traveling without luggage removes just about every pain point associated with flying, such as checking bags, overhead compartments, bag fees, waiting in line, and needing to drop off luggage before an adventure. Just stroll into the airport an hour before your flight, and walk off your plane directly to your destination. This is absolutely true, especially whe…

Not really true since you can't even bring a little pocketknife or other cutting tool with you.

I have every time I've traveled. Lighters as well. TSA is fucking useless.

Swiss army knives are cheap and easy to find in every city.

You can fly with a swiss army knife in europe, or at least nobody ever questioned me. If you buy local everywhere you fly look for opinels, for $10 you get the perfect camping/food knife

I lived out of a backpack for two months on a Pacific Crest Trail hike. I got comfortable with it and told myself that I had overcome my materialism, and could henceforth live happily without a lot of stuff and conveniences. Not so much. Now a couple of decades later, I've got a house and garage crammed with stuff. Yesterday I had a plumber here working on a leak, and this morning I have no running water, and here I…

I think in general we fill whatever amount of space we have available. Nature abhors a vacuum.

Its SO ANNOYING to have to carry an Apple Silicon macbook AND an ipad. I'd love to see a touchscreen option for macbook and the option to run in ipad mode. But that would probably cannibalize sales. As it is, you can theoretically run ios apps on Apple Silicon, but most app vendors disable that.. My main use case for an ipad while traveling is to watch downloaded movies on a plane. "AR" (not really) glasses like nrea…

I believe product design votes against it because it would make all macbooks always be smudged and scratched, looking shit.
