Dale/Foxglove Chip/Gadget - Stuck Like Glue (SPECIAL)

This video is special because the manip of Dale with succioncup shoes on the ceiling to be with Foxy has been in my head FOR 20 YEARS, ever since I read the beautiful heartwarming fanfic "Foxy's Special Day" by Julie Bihn /  Chansey Trainer (https://foxglove.cdrrhq.ru/julie-bihn/specialday.html https://www.fanfiction.net/s/300478/1/Foxy-s-Special-Day ).

 Please consider reading it, it is very fluffy! :D

Aer tech pack

When I'm going away for the weekend, something like the TOM BIHN Synik 30 would double as my daily tech bag. So, more often than not, I can't use any of the pockets since my accessories don't fit or I simply don't have that many accessories that need organization.Īnother reason is that I often like to rotate my bags. always improving and evolving to match the tech that's coming out. The main reason for this is that my configuration of tech accessories are always changing. This is also why bags with a minimal amount of organization, like the GORUCK GR1 or the Able Carry Daybreaker, have always appealed more to me. Even though I love bags like the Tortuga Outbreaker, I've always preferred backpacks with less in-built organization. I'm more often out and about as a remote worker and the Tech Pack 2 is something that I'll put more use into. While the Aer Travel Pack was perfect for travel, it is simply too large for everyday use. Apart from top-notch craftsmanship and materials, the thing that stands out most about Aer for me is their style. Detailsĭespite having tried only one other of Aer's product, the Aer Travel Pack 2, Aer is one of the brands that checks all my criteria for a great bag company. In this time when remote work has become the new normal, the Aer Tech Pack 2 is potentially one of the best option for those who love their tech.

Bag customisation, the mostly @randomthunk way.

I found the St. John’s patch and Bowie patch on Etsy, and Bill’s patch just by chance on the googles.

I might still yet swap out the Whouffaldi and PCap pins and replace the one with the other, but we’ll see. No matter, they look awesome on anything.

What’s in my backpack?

I might be nearly 31, but I still love “What’s in my backpack” posts and videos. Maybe it’s because I’m really nosey? Theres something really interesting on a sociological basis about seeing what “essentials” people feel the compulsion to carry with them day to day. 

I usually carry a backpack. I carried a Kanken for 5 years for work, but as Ive started carrying breakfast, lunch, a flask and a reusable bottle and cutlery, I now tend to use my Tom Bihn Synapse 19 for work, and keep my Kanken for weekend things.

(A Tom Bihn Synapse 19 review is forthcoming!)

I’m not a handbag girl. I have a couple small messenger bags, a leather (Cambridge) satchel and a small cross body “smart” bag in my wardrobe that I use when I don't use a backpack.

I commute to work on public transport, usually the train but sometimes the bus. 

I tend to have-

SYNAPSE 19 backpack (cloud/island) 

-My breakfast and my lunch

- the case for my tao-tronics wireless headphones (work essential)

-a reusable coffee cup or flask

-my Chillys or Klean Kanteen water bottle

-a book (usually a paperback for ease; but at the moment its “Becoming” by Michelle Obama in hardback)

-wallet

-card holder

-travel card

-small make up pouch with hand cream, lip balm, lip stick, comb, hair ties, and so on

-fold up shopping bag

-my small date book/diary

-pen pouch

-bullet journal

-snacks (Slimming world hifi bar, fibre one bar)

-mini super concentrate squash (cordial)

-Turtle doves fingerless gloves (all year round- I get quite cold hands at work and type for a living!) I have like 4 pairs of these babies and they are the BEST fingerless gloves, especially if you have circulatory problems like me.

-Tom Bihn snake charmer with power cords, earphone splitter, power bank, spare earbuds,  a tin with hair grips, my medication, bamboo cutlery... if it needs a home and is loose, it usually gets corralled into there!

SEASONAL/ occasional 

- a packable raincoat in a Tom Bihn No2 stuff sack (for spring/summer showers)

-hat or buff (buses get cold!)

-Cath Kinston Travel umbrella

-plastic tub for Minnie’s water (if we are out walking), Minnie snacks, poo bags

These backpacks are the best!!! I'm having to trade out my big one for the smaller version. I'm just too short for it ^_^ Hopefully sending it to a new home soon! But despite it being a bit too big for me, I loved the big one. It is absolutely perfect for college! So much room! My new backpack came in the mail today and when I took it out of the box, hubs helpfully exclaims, “It’s so little! It’s like a kid’s backpack!”

How I Use Less Plastic at Work

How I Use Less Plastic at Work

One way to reduce plastic—and paper—waste is to bring your coffee cup, such as the KeepCup.

A couple of weeks ago, the Climate:Fwd newsletter from the New York Times posted reader Jasmyn Trent’s tips for using less plastic at work. The tips were sensible and, for a lot of people, I presume that these could be pretty easy to implement.

The tips included bringing a set of reusable utensils to…

This is the Tom Bihn Medium Cafe bag and the main things I keep in its main compartment, shown in approximately the order I pack them in:

A sling bag/fanny pack for my wallet, coins, and misc stuff.

a 500 mL water bottle, filled from 25%-100% full depending on how long I think it’ll be before I can fill it again and how much water I think I’ll need till then.

a glasses case

a sunglasses case

Not pictured: miscellaneous stuff (travel size hand sanitizer, pen) or clothing/equipment (hat, scarf, cooling towel, umbrella).

Short review of the Tom Bihn Medium Cafe Bag - a great, all around, middle size bag for every day carry.

There is something off about my priorities.

Buying a new carry-on for a flight I’m taking next month: balancing out size and value in a clamshell backpack. Strict sub $100 budget.

The TSA-approved toiletries bag: “I know Tom Bihn makes a good one!” half the price of the carryon I ordered.

Eco-Pleasant Organization Tendencies In 2021

The Best Bag And Cable Organizers™

The Custom Leathercraft 3 Multi-Purpose Clip-on Zippered Bags are better suited for your home toolbox than an everyday gadget bag. The trio of pouches are made of canvas, so they’re tough, and sharp nails and needle-nose pliers won’t damage them. The canvas was rougher than our panelists preferred, and most staffers found the dark colors unattractive. Many of us also prefer pouches that are transparent because we don’t like guessing what’s stored in each bag in the set. The IPOW BD02 pencil pouches are sold in a set of four. We liked the fun floral patterns and traditional pencil pouch shape. But the bags weren’t big enough to hold more than a single bulky item, such as a laptop charger. The zippers also stuck and some broke during our tests. The five bags in the Modern Bethel Travel Pouch Set are covered in vinyl, so they’re waterproof. But in our tests, the seams weren’t stitched cleanly and the bags leaked water. We also found that the larger bags (13¾ by 10½ inches and 11 by 8¼ inches) are so big that they’re as bad as just leaving things loose in your backpack or purse to begin with. The Muji Double Fastener Case (medium) was great for storing the small gear on our list. But it couldn’t hold our bulkier items without permanently deforming the polyester bag. It’s also not waterproof, so a spilled soda or leaking lotion bottle would damage its contents. The BUBM cord and cosmetic organizer is a two-way makeup and brush bag that’s convertible to store tech gear as well. The top is a traditional makeup bag, and the bottom unzips horizontally to store brushes, tablet pens, and skinny cable cords. But the main compartment isn’t big enough to carry most of the accessories on our list. And the padded chamber absorbed leaking water, which means that it could retain the stinky odors of other spilled liquids over time. The Chiceco Handy Makeup Pouch offers better privacy than our pick from The Container Store because it’s made of 100D Oxford nylon and not micro mesh. It’s small enough to carry with one hand, and is flexible and durable enough to cram full with gear without fear of it tearing. But the zipper broke during testing, making the bag virtually impossible to use. The Leatherology Clamshell Makeup Bag is sold in two sizes (medium and large) or as a set. Both sizes were great for splitting the storage of our tech gear and personal hygiene items. We liked that both bags have zip pockets, and the clamshell design was ideal for finding small items hiding at the bottom of the bag. But the leather was too soft, and it was easy to scratch and scuff during normal use. Leatherology allows only a 30-day return window and only for unused gear, which isn’t ideal for a product that costs $85 to $180. ” Yet we called the customer service line twice and never spoke with a live person (once, we stayed on hold for 30 minutes before giving up and ending the call). Note: As of January 2020, Leatherology now offers a one-year limited warranty against defects in materials or craftsmanship, but we still prefer the quality, style, and look of our Cuyana picks. After two years of testing, we dropped the Dsptch Dopp Kit as a pick. Originally, we liked that its design worked for carrying both cables and lotions because the main compartment had three wide elastic loops that comfortably fit bulky toiletries (like sunscreen) and tech accessories (like charging bricks) beside each other. But the main compartment can’t fully unzip, so it’s harder to peer into and harder for larger hands to dig inside. Similarly, the side compartment’s padded valet tray takes up valuable space, and when the tray was in place, we had trouble quickly grabbing an item from that section without fully unzipping the bag. The Herschel Supply Co. Chapter Travel Kit measures 18 by 4½ by 6 inches, so it holds our essentials with plenty of room to spare. But its large size also means it was way too big to carry each day. This Dopp kit also isn’t waterproof. The Aer Cable Kit was a previous pick, but it has been discontinued. We reviewed its successor, the Aer Cable Kit 2, which isn’t as practical as our Incase pick. The Aer Cable Kit 2 has redesigned pockets and loops, but the storage compartments are less useful in this iteration because they’re more uniform, which means it’s harder to find a spot for odd-shaped gear. And the main compartment is lined in a fleece-like material that’s not very soft. We don’t like the Bellroy Tech Kit because the metal zipper is sticky, the storage compartments aren’t ideal for smaller pieces like USB flash drives and earbuds, and the pockets aren’t taut or zippable, so items can easily fall out in transit. The Dagne Dover Arlo Tech Pouch (large) is a good size if you regularly carry large tech accessories such as a charging brick or docking station, but for most commuters, it’s too big and ungainly. It’s difficult for people with small hands to carry in one hand, it doesn’t rest flat along the spine when open, and the chunky plastic zipper is stiff and hard to maneuver. The Knomo Thames Knomad Organizer is slim enough to stash inside a briefcase, but its wide design makes it harder to carry in one hand while you’re juggling gear as you dash from conference room to conference room. And although it’s made of water-resistant polyurethane, the material is slightly rough, not as refined as the material in our other picks. The Bond Travel Gear Escapade Pouch has a rough nylon exterior, inconsistent stitching quality, and zippers that catch, making it hard to open and close. Eagle Creek Etool Organizer Pro lacks a microfiber lining and padding to protect delicate objects, and there’s limited space to secure smaller items, like thumb drives. Water also leaks through the zippers. The Native Union Stow Accessory Organizer’s leather exterior shows wear and tear easily, and the zippers are difficult to use. The Peak Design Tech Pouch opens like an accordian-style file folder, so gear won’t fall out when you open it. But this was the hardest bag to open that we tested, as the zipper frequently got stuck on the thick piping that was designed to prevent leaks. The Tom Bihn Snake Charmer is an upright bag with dual mesh compartments (like a dopp kit). But it's surprisingly bulky (up to 5 inches deep), and it’s also not waterproof, so tech gear won’t survive a soda spill. For non-water-resistant options, we prefer our Vaultz Mesh Storage Bags because they’re sold in a pack of four for just $8 at the time of writing, are modular and big enough for larger cables, and pack down flat for easy storage. The Welden Nylon Accessory Organizer is well-made and stylish, featuring a modern hexagonal weave pattern on the exterior that’s sure to attract attention. But its small size (4.7 by 7.78 by 2.75 inches) has limited storage space, which won’t work for most people commuting with all of their gear. It’s also pricey ($80 at the time of writing), and we think our luxe pick, the Cuyana Leather Travel Case varlion summum leather backpacks Set, is a better deal (currently two bags for $110). Leatherology Small Tech Bag Organizer has three elastic loops, but the loops loosened after just a couple of uses. The bag is made of soft full-grain leather, which scratches easier than what we would like from a $65 bag. You can upgrade to the firm, full-grain German leather bag for $100.) This bag is also subject to Leatherology’s limited 30-day return window (described above). Both Bagsmart bags we looked at have plenty of loops and slots for our gear, but it felt weird putting toiletries in such a techie-looking pouch. Model Travel Universal Cable Organizer (BM0200044B001) wasn’t waterproof. And though the Thicken Cable Organizer (BM0200064A001) model did repel water, its inside wasn’t very durable and got scuffed up by our bulky laptop cable. Our packing cube pick, the Eagle Creek Pack It Quarter Cube (extra-small) was too flimsy to hold our gear. The Hynes Eagle Travel Accessories Organizer was too small to hold even half the gear on our list. The floral pattern on the bag was grainy and looked cheap. The bag also wasn’t waterproof. The Power Packer is durable, looks nice, and is big enough to store bulky cables, external power packs, and travel adapters. Although that’s exactly what it’s designed to carry, most of our testers found it big for everyday use. And the knitted fabric accents absorbed and leaked water to other sections of the bag.

I could be doing a lot with my day, but right now, I’m trying to reverse-engineer a Tom Bihn mask pattern, so that I can make ones with different fabrics and no plastic/polyester-based fabric in it.

It’s kind of weird! And kind of fun. I don’t have spatial awareness at fucking all when it comes to 3D images, which I sort of knew, but which always hits me a lot harder when I’m sewing. Because patterns are very useful and helpful, videos are alright, but I’m not going to really understand until I do it five times and can get the muscle memory of the movements into my head. So reverse-engineering is proving to be a lot of analysing the mask, sketching up patterns, and then fucking around with my hand + vague general knowledge of where everything is meant to be darted until it looks right.

Do I know what I’m doing? Hell no. Could I explain this process to anyone who wanted to copy me? Absolutely not. But it’s fun in a mystifying way. There’s something satisfying about the fact consciously, I have a fairly limited grasp on what I’m doing, but subconsciously, clearly, I have picked up enough to get this done.

My Favorite Cloth Mask

Tom Bihn Reusable Cloth Face Mask

Seattle-based Tom Bihn makes my preferred work rucksack, so it bodes well that it likewise makes my preferred mask. They come in several hues and two sizes. To locate your size, measure from the scaffold of your nose to the point of your jaw—my husband and I both wear the little/medium. When I balanced the malleable nose strip, it fit me well without any holes.

They're made by hand in Seattle, and for each mask you purchase, the organization gives one to a neighborhood good cause, which you can follow in a public spreadsheet.

Since I initially composed this, they've additionally appeared different renditions, for example, one with a neck cord and one with three layers. It's significant that while it is strong and launderable, it's not as breathable as different masks I've attempted.

Second place

Outside Research Face Mask Kit

After the Tom Bihn masks, this is presently my second place. Outside Research is a US-based open air gear creator with homegrown manufacturing and quick delivery. It makes one of my preferred downpour coats, and now it likewise makes a generally moderate mask pack. It has flexible ear-bungees, a nose wire, and a three-pack of channels. It's polyester, moderately light, and appears to wick away my hot breath while I'm strolling my canine. I don't need to wear a mask while running, because I run on uncrowded path, yet this is the one I'd pick in the event that I needed to.

It's important the texture has likewise been treated with HeiQ NPJ03. This is a Swiss material treatment that has been tried in the European Union for antiviral and antibacterial properties. Notwithstanding, these tests have not been reproduced in the US as of publication. For our motivations, it's only an entirely launderable, customizable, and tough mask.

Best Cheap Mask

Con.Struct Cotton Pleated Mask 6-Pack

I've discovered the Con.Struct cotton face masks to be amazingly solid and very much made, thinking about the price. This current men's attire store sells its masks in six-packs on Amazon, and the price per mask is around $4. The one-sized masks fit my medium face well, and the ear loops additionally have customizable bungees. The light creased cotton is breathable and finishes the light assessment. They additionally have a pocket for a customizable channel, just as a malleable nose wire.

Best Kids Mask

Old Navy Variety 5-Pack Masks

I have two little youngsters, 3 and 5 years old, who are large enough to wear masks in public. We've attempted several assortments, including ones from Etsy and Vistaprint, however up until this point, the clear champs are the moderate Old Navy masks, which are produced using 100% cotton. Engineered masks, similar to the Vistaprint, get splashed by kid slobber in practically no time.

The masks fit both my children's faces impeccably. They like the perky prints, and they likewise lean toward creased masks, which stretch as they talk. (Continually! They talk continually.) However, a mask that fits a 5-year-old presumably won't work for a 8-or 9-year-old. Tom Bihn, Kitsbow, and Rickshaw Bags are only a couple of the organizations that are making masks in little sizes.

Best Mask for Working Out

Safe-Mate Disposable 3-Ply Face Masks

My accomplice is a fundamental laborer who needs to wear a mask throughout the day, consistently. Despite the fact that he approaches a full receptacle of masks of each possible shape, style, and size, he lean towards the mass dispensable face masks. Joyfully for him, the universe of science has vindicated his decision. Dispensable masks work admirably at impeding respiratory beads, and they're likewise the lightest and most moderate masks I've attempted.

I've had a fallen angel of a period getting tightly to any masks made for exercises, and I can't suggest the couple of I've attempted. (Apologies, Buff, your channel mask caused me to feel like I was being choked by an octopus.) If you should run or work out, expendable masks are the lightest ones accessible. They may get drenched by sweat and fume, yet in any event you won't need to wash them a short time later.

Another Mask for Working Out

Buff CoolNet UV+

Numerous individuals who run and work out utilize a neck gaiter, which can be pulled down around the neck or over your head when you're away from individuals. The Duke study I referenced earlier implies that stretchy gaiters aren't successful, yet an example size of one is not really decisive.

In the event that you like neck gaiters while working out, and yours fits you well, it may work fine! Nonetheless, I lean toward a light dispensable mask. As the mid year has worn on, the Buffs feel more sweltering and more sizzling. They likewise slide down my face whenever worn for in excess of a couple of moments one after another.

Lightweight Masks

Asylum 5-Pack Fashion PPE Masks

To check whether a lightweight mask is successful, the most famous general guideline is the light test—hold it up to daylight and check whether the weave is tight enough to obstruct the light. These are produced using an exceptionally light cotton muslin shell, yet they do finish the assessment. They're creased to extend as you talk and have a pliant nose wire to cover holes. They're additionally significantly more breathable for socially removed strolls, bicycle rides, and climbs. I've been cautious about hand-washing and line-drying them, so they've endured me since April.

In blistering climate, I additionally like Christy Dawn's practical masks. They're made locally from light, deadstock cotton (texture that has been dismissed from different manufacturers), and shockingly, you can see a tad of daylight through the weave. On the off chance that I needed to wander into more jam-packed spaces than my nearby market off-hours, I may pick a thicker mask.

A Very Comfortable Mask

Hedley and Bennett The Wake Up and Fight Mask

WIRED's overseeing computerized maker, Kimberly Chua, suggests these masks, and I additionally like them a ton. Hedley and Bennett is a kitchen workware organization that immediately turned from making covers and gourmet specialist coats to making masks. It planned them in a joint effort with Robert Cho, a pediatric orthopedic specialist at a nearby hospital. They're tough, agreeable, and produced using either cotton or a cotton-poly mix, with a flexible nose wire.

They additionally accompany a pocket for a removable channel. For each mask sold, the organization gives a mask to bleeding edge medical services laborers and farmworkers. I likewise love their ongoing coordinated effort with Rifle Paper Co, which is the prettiest mask I have at this moment.

A Mask Made of Repurposed Cotton

Cotopaxi Teca Cotton Face Mask

The majority of Cotopaxi's bright gear is likewise produced using deadstock. Moreover, the organization's face masks are produced using firmly woven, repurposed cotton, in brilliant, eye-getting hues, with a flexible nose wire and ear loops. The Teca face masks are machine launderable, and Cotopaxi additionally gives one mask for each mask made. They don't have a pocket for a channel.

More US-Made Masks

Trew Two-Layer Face Mask

Another face mask made by a US-based open air attire manufacturer is this one from Trew Gear, created as a team with NW Alpine in Portland, Oregon. The delicate, stretchy mask has two layers—a more sturdy stretch-woven polyester and an antimicrobial internal coating. Half of the returns go to the Oregon Community Recovery Fund to help Oregon inhabitants who have been hit hard by Covid-19.
