2024.06.02 10:44 CaptainGroggy Just a sling bag?
So I have a flight leaving in about a month, and I'm not sure how to plan for this. I'll be sitting In seat 23a on an Airbus a321neo, which Is exit row with no seat infront of me. I plan to travel with just a hard suitcase carry on and a sling bag for my personal item, mainly just for my nintendo switch. Does this count as a piece of attire, or will I have to try to shove it into my probably fully packed and locked carry on mid boarding for takeoff?

 | I’ve had this small suitcase for years - have hardly used it. I’m planning on flying to Europe from Australia, but I’m concerned about its dimensions. It’s 48cm high, 33 wide, and 28 cms deep … which I suspect might be too much. Overall it looks small, but would it’s depth be a problem? submitted by Topazzish to Carryononly [link] [comments] |
2024.06.02 06:00 Runningpatlegolfeur AITA for putting a neighbor's house for sale as a joke?
A long, long time ago, I pulled an elaborate, long-running prank on my neighbor that involbed putting his house up for sale, repeatedly, over several months. Now that I'm a homeowner, I think it probably sent the wrong message.
The neighbor was a close family friend who was one of the most persistent prankers, he would prank everyone around but I don't think anyone had ever pranked him back. He was a school director and my stepmom worked for him at the school where I was a student. Small world, I know.
My grandfather (I promise this will become relevant) is the most accomplished prabker anyone around me has ever met. Everyone he knows has a story about being pranked by him. For example, one of his tamer pranks was that he would often try to see how many clotespins he could attach to someone's clothes before they noticed. He did this to the priest at church and then the priest would be up there in front of the whole church with a couple clothespins on his robe, everyone giggling.
My family, inspired by grandpa's pranks, came up with a plan to prank our neighbor by putting a For Sale sign in front of his house. My Dad did it the first time and the next day the neighbor was really puzzled about the whole thing. It was nice that my stepmom could get the reactions for us since they worked together. I think there was a second time not too long after.
The third time, probably a month later, there was a school fundraiser event that and my parents attended. So my grandpa posted the For Sale sign that time. That made it even harder for the neighbor to figure out who did it. We even had my grandpa call the neighbor the next day asking how much he want for his house.
Several months pass.
I was a student at the school, and there was a big end of the year field trip with a lot of the school staff, including the directoneighbor. I snuck in a For Sale sign in my suitcase and when we got there, I posted the sign on the Director's room.
Looking at him putting the pieces together and figuring out who did it was priceless. I was really proud of our 3-generation prank and carrying on grandpa's pranking legacy.
This was 20 years ago. Here's my issue. I am fortunate enough to have finally purchased a house recently. I was thinking about the prank again the other day and putting myself in the director's shoes. If someone put a For Sale sign in front of my house today, I would probably take it as a sign that someone doesn't want me here. We probably made him feel that for several months.... not cool. So now I'm not sure if it was a good prank.
What do you think? Epic prank or epic asshole?

2024.06.02 03:53 SecretCabinet548 We visited Iceland - post is about traveling there with a nut allergy
Hi- just came back from Iceland two weeks ago (May 2024). My 19 year old son is ANA to peanuts and treenuts (he carries epis). He does not have an airborne allergy. We had a wonderful time – it’s such an amazing country. Here are some of my comments for you families with nut allergies planning a trip to Iceland. I'm posting this lengthy missive because I couldn't find any firsthand information before we went.
Vik : Black Crust Pizzeria. Delicious and friendly!!! While the restaurant did have nuts (as indicated in the menu), we felt comfortable with their cross contamination procedures – as the cashews and pesto were kept separate. I would have come here the next night but we just ended up having grocery store sandwiches.
Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon (about half an hour west of Jokulsarlon) – tons of nuts on the dinner menu at the lovely hotel restaurant so I wasn’t sure my son would be able to eat anything (we did have sandwiches as a backup plan) but the restaurant manager on duty (Jolanta?) and the waiter and the chef were fantastic and very open and honest with what they could or couldn’t do and what my son could or couldn’t eat. For example, instead of mashed potatoes, which they thought might be cross contaminated, they made him roasted potatoes. They told us not to have dessert (which he never does in the US either at restaurants), instead but offered a fruit plate. He ended up having a simple, but delicious, steak and potato meal. They did and said all the right things that made my allergy-brain-mom satisfied, including warning us the meal might take longer than normal since they would be extra careful (which of course, we were fine with). They actually came back twice to explain the substitutions, as they were going along. He didn’t eat at the amazing buffet next day, because buffets are practically never safe, but he had his own cereal and they gave him milk. He is very used to not being able to eat buffets, even at home, so it wasn’t an issue.
Hveragerdi -The food hall at The Greenhouse didn’t work for our needs- so many of the stalls had nuts in open containers. The fish & chip shop there even said they weren’t comfortable serving us (they weren’t being rude at all, just honest, which I appreciated) as they couldn’t prevent cross-contamination. We went across the street to Ölverk Pizza and Brewery and we felt very comfortable with their cross-contamination procedures (a few of their pizzas had nuts). Delicious, and bonus- so was the beer. They were incredibly friendly too.
Gas station/grocery store sandwiches- These were well labeled- they tasted nice- kind of like Pret-a-Manger. Check your allergens at https://somi.is/en/products/ - for example, my son could have the ham and cheese, but not the chicken/bacon/lettuce/tomato. There are several other brands as well, not just SOMI. We did see one container the last day that said “may contain”. [None of the others did say that, but did have items like Wheat, dairy, labeled in bold as an allergen. We felt safe with the sandwiches. And Skyr yogurt was delicious and he could have that (stuck with the vanilla or plain one in general) Gæti innihaldið snefil af sesamfræjum og hnetum = May contain traces of sesame seeds and nuts. We used the Google Translate app in the grocery stores as not everything was in English.
Hot dogs: In Reykjavic and Vik, son also had the famous Icelandic hotdogs as we were told no nuts or nut oil. Very tasty and contains lamb!
We ordered allergy-card pdfs from Allergy Eats in Icelandic. Everyone in Iceland spoke perfect english but we didn't want nuances about nuts to be an issue. They came in handy a few times. I will mention a lot of the staff we met spoke Russian (and also english), not Icelandic. We often used the Google Translate app on our phones.
4) We checked one bag and brought our own cereal from home for our son and tons of safe granola/protein bars from home and baked goods I made as of course none of the bakeries were safe for him. We brought a jar of sun butter and grape jelly in our suitcase. We bought ham and cheese and butter and bread and chips/crisps from the grocery stores to make sandwiches. We didn’t need the sun butter until the end of the trip but I was glad I had it as a backup. We used google translate often as not all the items had English ingredients. We did find a safe simple white bread in all the grocery stores. (Which was a treat for my son as I never buy white bread at home!). I did also bring a box of pasta from home which we used at a (lovely) guesthouse in Hella – Loa’s Nest which had communal kitchen facilities.
5) During our trip, he ate nothing that said “may contain”, to be on the safe side (we also try to avoid that at home, but perhaps not as rigorously).
6) While traditional Icelandic food doesn’t have nuts, I saw more nuts on the menu in Iceland than I am used to seeing. Unfortunately for us, we saw that many, many restaurants and food halls had open containers of nuts on their food prep counters (and therefore no real way to prevent cross contamination). We did not eat those places when we saw that. I should add that most nuts we saw were treenuts, not peanuts, so if you only have a peanut allergy, it will be easier for you I think.
7) Everywhere we stayed either had a mini kitchen, or a mini fridge or access to a fridge (Reykjavic Residence Hotel (2 nights), Loa’s Nest (1 night), Black Beach Suites (2 nights), Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon (1 night), The Greehouse (1 night) We brought a small softsided lunch bag to keep things cool between hotels. One point I should make is that nowhere we stayed had access to a freezer (the mini fridges didn’t have a freezer) and neither did the Airbnbs. I suspect if I had actually needed a freezer, I could have asked the front desk or owners of the guesthouses but we were fine without.
8) We flew Icelandair. They don’t serve items with peanuts on board but they do serve treenuts. They did make an announcement asking people not to eat items with peanuts. They were friendly. They did let us pre-board to wipe down the seats. Our flight was just 5 hours from Boston to Reyjkavik direct so just brought his own sandwiches/snacks. I would fly them again.
We loved Iceland and had an amazing time. None of this is meant to be preventative, just informative.

- Strongly consider full travel insurance. We normally don’t get it, but we did for Iceland as they don’t have that many 24/7 hospitals once you are outside of Reykjavik and we were told the fastest transport might be medical helicopter rather than road ambulance. Basically, we went, knowing that if we had to epi him and then head to a hospital, it might be a helicopter ride, so we took full travel insurance.
- Wifi reception was fantastic for us everywhere between Reykjavik and Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon (that’s as east as we went). We paid for the Wi-Fi gadget in the car; it was useful because it is a small device and we could bring it in with us to grocery stores to use the google translate app.
- Here’s some places we ate:

2024.06.02 03:25 pohltergiest Denouement, part 1
Waking up early, we tidied up our room, had our little breakfast we bought the night before and got over to the train station. The station was small, just one room and one gate as this was the end of the line in the north. Feeling like we could spend more time out here on the edge, we disassembled and racked up our bikes with the annoying flimsy Rinko bags that does little else than keep grease from getting on other stuff.
The express train was comfortable, but we had to jam our bikes in little luggage nooks that left half the bike in the aisle. The station master had no issues with us, and the onboard inspector likewise didn't care that the aisles were partially blocked, so we paid the bikes little mind, except when they occasionally toppled over.
Four hours and a lot of writing later, we arrived in Asahikawa on a sunny morning. The rolling farmland scenery was lovely, but we certainly didn't miss out on breathtakung views by going the coastal route. We were impressed with the station and surroundings in Asahikawa, which is not a large city but boasts an extremely nice train station, a lot of hotels, malls and shops in a tight cluster. This is a place that thrives on being the gateway to the north, clearly.
We had a daisy-chain of tasks that needed doing, each affecting the next. We needed a hotel that could help us get a taxi and also store our bikes in boxes. The bikes needed to be boxed so we could reserve the space on our upcoming flights, so it had to happen now. Plus if we couldn't get a box, we didn't want to wait to find that out. A solid three days is lots of contingency in case something doesn't work out.
Getting out of the station area, we found a tourist information center and figured that was a good place to start. They offered luggage storage, so we asked if they would store our bikes in boxes. After some negotiation, they agreed, and went as far as to start calling taxi companies for us for a booking to the airport on Wednesday! As they have their own company to do this, it only made sense. A driver eventually had to come by and see the bikes for himself to determine if he could take them, and eventually decided that they had no vehicles suitable for the task. The lady at the counter was undeterred, asking us to wait longer while she called more companies to get a van. Eventually she found one, and booked it for us. Amazing.
We decided to stay at the hotel that was part of the train station as we would have to haul the bikes in boxes back and forth a few times to get around the 3-day storage limit at the train station. We couldn't check in there yet, as it was only noon, so we found a bike parking area, left our bikes there and went and got burgers for lunch. Lotteria, my favourite, though the fries weren't fresh. I wish I had a better grasp of Japanese to ask for fresh fries. Gotta get the fresh friessss.
After lunch we went to a dollar store to get some packing materials for our bikes. Bubble wrap, foam sheets, packing tape, and cardboard wrap. Should be good. Once we had that, we could head to our first bike shop to try and get boxes. Bryce and I emailed every shop in the city a week ago, and we had a few hits to try. The first shop was an unassuming place a bit out of the way, but when we arrived and I said my name was Mia, a man got up and took us to the parking lot, where we found a van with three bike boxes to pick from. A fair bit smaller than what we worked with last time, but they should do the trick. The man refused payment of any kind, but took a sticker and some candies and a picture of us.
We walked the bike boxes 20 minutes to a bus stop and were a minor nuisance on the bus getting back to the station where our bikes were. It was a half hour before check in, but we decided that we may as well get to work. We spent the better part of four hours disassembling, padding and fitting our bikes into the almost-too-small boxes, a somewhat uncomfortable fit. Bryce's frame is a bit smaller than mine, so he had a somewhat easier time getting it all in there, but it still took a long time. Nearly everyone going through the doors to the mall nearby was looking at us, but what else could we do? Certainly we weren't going to do this business in a hotel room, messy as it was. It was a lovely day and it was methodical fun getting it all to work. How heavy are the boxes? I guess we'll find out at the airport. A few people stopped to ask us what we were doing, bicycle parts scattered about the pavement like a broad daylight chop shop. It took some explaining but most people went away quite amused with us. One man asked us if we liked sake, and when we responded in the positive, he just straight up gave us the bottle he had in his hands, going back inside to buy another.
I would like to have known the thoughts of the hotel staff when we filed past the check in counter after they told us not to bring bicycles to the room, now bringing said bicycles into the rooms fully disassembled and neatly packed into boxes. The hotel was lovely, a new looking place with a pillow corner where you could pick out a pillow for the night from a library of sizes and styles. Well you could, if a family of British tourists didn't take three each like spoiled assholes. The standard pillows were fine, so it was okay.
Dinner was a random place we found upstairs at the mall that served chicken wings, and we wandered around looking for suitcases. Packing up the bikes was all well and good, but the bikes were how we moved our stuff around. Now we had a great deal of bags and stuff that we wouldn't be able to carry, so they needed a suitcase or something to store them in. We quickly decided that Asahikawa was not the place for this, and we would need to find suitcases in Sapporo. Now that the bikes were packed up, we were free to fill our remaining luggage allotment with gifts, souvenirs and snacks to take home. In the meantime, we bought a big sturdy cardboard box from a shipping company and decided to try our luck foisting it on the hotel in the morning.
Satisfied with finishing all of our tasks for the day, plan A going very nicely, we settled into the evening, visiting the onsen and tucking into the sake gifted to us. It had a somewhat sweet flavor, and wasn't very harsh at all. Lovely. We stayed up a little later reading, and fell asleep readily, the soreness of our ride slowly evaporating.

2024.06.02 02:56 LostHistorian3852 Traveling with PC Help
Hey, everyone!
I'm going to go to college soon, and I'd like to bring my PC (I'll be a game art major at USC so I need my PC to work on heavy duty projects). I'm not worried about buying a new monitor, but I know that I can't afford to buy a SECOND PC, haha!! So my PC is definitely coming with me. I'm scared to ship it to my college, since it has a lot of small parts. My parents will be coming with me so I could technically fit my whole PC into one of their suite cases, but I'm wondering if that's something that can pass through security as a checked item. Does anyone have any tips / has anyone traveled with a PC before? I'm thinking of buying a PC carrying case and then putting that into my suitcase. I built my PC with my little brother (he did most of the work) so I don't know / am scared to take apart the PC, so I'd like to bring the whole PC as is, if that makes sense.

I'm going to go to college soon, and I'd like to bring my PC (I'll be a game art major at USC so I need my PC to work on heavy duty projects). I'm not worried about buying a new monitor, but I know that I can't afford to buy a SECOND PC, haha!! So my PC is definitely coming with me. I'm scared to ship it to my college, since it has a lot of small parts. My parents will be coming with me so I could technically fit my whole PC into one of their suite cases, but I'm wondering if that's something that can pass through security as a checked item. Does anyone have any tips / has anyone traveled with a PC before? I'm thinking of buying a PC carrying case and then putting that into my suitcase. I built my PC with my little brother (he did most of the work) so I don't know / am scared to take apart the PC, so I'd like to bring the whole PC as is, if that makes sense.
Any help would be appreciated!

2024.06.02 00:18 bulldog1020 Million questions buyer
Update - thanks everyone for the advice. I blocked and moving on. I appreciate yall allowing me to talk it out.
Hello! I just need some advice. I listed an expensive leather suitcase. Almost immediately I get a message from someone asking basic questions and requesting more pictures. I answered and provided the photos. They then respond back asking more questions and requesting measurements. Once again I understand. They were trying to make sure it fit carry on qualifications. After responding they again asked more questions and requested more photos. At this point I have measured every inch of the bag and taken and sent 20 plus photos. I am getting frustrated as this has been going on for days. Last night they requests the diameter of the wheels. After once again giving them the measurements they are now requesting the thickness of the wheels.
My husband is beyond frustrated. I am trying to be understanding as I get this is an expensive item. At what point do to many questions lead to a potential scam? My husband believes that they are going to find some way to scam us if a measurement is off or something stupid. I am torn and just don't know what to do. Would you continue to play the 200 questions or would you be scared of a potential scam?
Thank you for any advice or insight!

2024.06.02 00:15 Repulsive_Week_2971 Jetsetter’s Dream Luggage
Discount Luggage
Traveling is an enriching experience, whether it’s a weekend getaway, a business trip, or an extended vacation. The right luggage can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. Here’s a guide to the must-have luggage pieces for your travels and holidays, designed to cater to various needs and preferences.
The Versatile Carry-On
A carry-on is essential for short trips and can save you from the hassle of checking in baggage. Opt for a lightweight, durable carry-on that fits airline size regulations. Features to look for include:
Spinner Wheels: For easy maneuverability. Expandable Zippers: For additional packing space. Multiple Compartments: To keep your items organized.
The Durable Checked Luggage
For longer trips, a sturdy checked suitcase is necessary. Hard-shell suitcases offer better protection for your belongings and are resistant to wear and tear. Key considerations:
Material: Polycarbonate or aluminum for durability. Security Features: TSA-approved locks and robust zippers. Interior Design: Compartments and compression straps for efficient packing.
The Practical Backpack A good travel backpack is invaluable, especially for those who prefer a hands-free option. Whether you’re hiking, exploring a city, or need a personal item for the plane, look for these features:
Ergonomic Design: Padded shoulder straps and back panel for comfort. Water-Resistant Material: To protect your belongings from the elements. Multiple Pockets: For easy access to essentials like water bottles, gadgets, and travel documents. 4. The Compact Duffel Bag Duffel bags are perfect for weekend trips or as an extra bag for souvenirs. They are versatile and can be easily stored when not in use. Choose a duffel bag with:
Durable Fabric: Such as canvas or nylon. Convertible Straps: For carrying options like shoulder or backpack. Zip-Top Closure: To secure your items.
Various Sizes: For different types of clothing and accessories. Breathable Fabric: To keep clothes fresh. Visibility: Mesh tops to see what’s inside without opening.
The Travel Toiletry Bag A good toiletry bag keeps your personal care items in one place, preventing leaks and spills in your luggage. Features to look for:
Waterproof Material: Inside and out for easy cleaning. Multiple Compartments: To organize toiletries and cosmetics. Hook for Hanging: To keep it off wet surfaces.
The Compact Tech Organizer With the rise of digital nomadism, keeping your tech gear organized is crucial. A tech organizer can store cables, chargers, and gadgets neatly. Important features include:
Elastic Loops and Mesh Pockets: For secure storage. Padded Compartments: To protect delicate electronics. Compact Design: To fit easily into your carry-on or backpack.
Investing in the right luggage can significantly enhance your travel experience. Prioritize pieces that offer durability, functionality, and organization. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or an occasional vacationer, having the right luggage ensures you’re prepared for any adventure that comes your way. Safe travels

2024.06.02 00:07 Ch_Ra Backpack for everyday+travel
Hi, hoping to get some advice from the hive mind. I'm looking for a backpack that has the following features:
Background: I travel a lot, but I use a rollaway for my clothes, etc. and use the backpack to carry my laptop and whatever I want to I have under the seat. I currently use a Matein backpack via Amazon and it has been nearly perfect but the luggage strap is not wide enough to stay on securely enough and the side water bottle pouches are too short to securely hold a full bottle. I recently tried a Thule backpack, but it was too rigid and heavy, like wearing a suitcase, and also got an Osprey Ozone, which is close, but I'd like more storage compartments.
I've seen some backpacks like North Face that have vertical straps so they go on the trolley handle on their side. I worry that this kind of setup will allow stuff to fall out of my backpack.
I have looked at the Briggs and Riley medium laptop bag and although I'm not a fan of the leather trim, it could do the trick if it is not rigid.
Thanks in advance for your help!

- Secure luggage trolley strap/sleeve
- Side bottle pouches that run high and large enough to securely carry full water bottles
- Some degree of organization, like laptop compartment+main compartment+outer small pouch
- Not bulky, heavy, rigid or huge (30L max)

2024.06.01 23:17 electricalkitten Tourist to Martinique : can I bring my phone and ipad and personal items with me
Hi,
The official website states that tourist children under 15 have a maximum personal allowance of 150 Eurs, and tourist adults have a personal allowance of 430 euros.
https://www.douane.gouv.ffiche/volume-and-value-based-customs-and-tax-allowances
I have always taken my phone with me on holiday. Also my clothes and stuff. We need it! My son always takes his ipad.
But these all add up:
ipad 800 eur my iphone 600 eur my clothes and toiletries 500 eur my son's clothes approx 300 eur Even the our Samsonite suitcase to carry our luggage in is 300 eur.
This far exceeds the personal allowance of 430 euros (adult) + 150 euros (child).
Apolgies for what might be a stupid question.

- Will we get taxed when we arrive on holiday in Martinque? 2 If taking personal items in is prohibitary expensive such as a mobile phone, then have you even got a mobie phone there to use? Have you got 4G or 5G? Is roaming available?
Apolgies for what might be a stupid question.

2024.06.01 21:59 Competitive_Tie_3985 holiday crush drove me insane
so to give you some background, i was on holiday in spain and usually feel uncomfortable when i'm away from home. in my first few hours here i saw this girl who was so beautiful it hurt, and over my whole time there we exchanged smiles when we walked past eachother, me being me i developed the fattest crush on her and she completely took away the uncomfortable feeling i have away from home. it was then midday on a wednesday and i hadn’t seen her once that day which had me totally convinced that she left, i genuinely felt heartbroken, she was the only thing on my mind and i felt so lonely again. later that day, she appeared and relief washed over me only for her to disappear again for the evening and the next morning, leaving me once again convinced that she left, which had me upset, crying yet again. of course, she turned up again some time during midday which ONCE AGAIN relieved me. the next day (my last full day) i was going to make it my mission to speak to her, i even spoke about her to a boy i met, who told me to “just ask her for her snap”. oh didn’t think of that one mate! unfortunately in this case it wasn’t as simple as that, every time i walked past her my mouth was welded shut, for someone who is usually confident in themself this was pretty unusual. i might have done at least 4 laps around the place, every time with my heart beating out of my chest saying to myself “i’m doing it this time” but of course, i didn’t get a word out. the next morning, my last day, i was waiting for the elevator to come up to carry us and our suitcases down to the lobby, coincidentally, she decided to walk out of her room, past me, and make the most heart wrenching eye contact with me for the longest 3 seconds of my life. when we got to the lobby, she was there, sat on her phone and there she stayed for the whole 20 minutes that i was waiting for our taxi to come, as if she was giving me a last chance to talk to her. with a heavy heart i walked straight past her, mouth stapled shut and went up the stairs to where the taxi would be arriving. behind me, she walked across the yard down to a sunbed where for the final time, we stared at eachother for at least 10 seconds before i got into my taxi.
and yes everything is as dramatic as it sounds. it was a real rollercoaster for me as someone who’s never very emotional. by posting this i don’t really know what comments i’m looking for, it’s more of like a vent. has anyone else experienced something like this? honestly curious as to why i’m feeling like this and how long it’ll take me to chill out.

2024.06.01 20:13 januch-juni what's Essential Packing Hacks Every traveler Should Know
Here are some vital packing tips that every tourist needs to be aware of:
Instead of folding your garments, roll them to conserve space and avoid wrinkles.
submitted by januch-juni to vipfeztour [link] [comments]
Instead of folding your garments, roll them to conserve space and avoid wrinkles.
- To optimize space and arrange your luggage, use compression bags or packing cubes.
- Bring adaptable clothes that you may combine and match to create different looks.
- Put on your bulkiest clothing—such as coats and boots—while flying to reduce the amount of room in your suitcase.
- For convenient access, keep small items like chargers, jewelry, and toiletries in reusable pouches or containers.
- To save money and cut down on waste, bring a reusable water bottle that you can refill after going through airport security.
- For day travels or souvenir shopping, pack a small, lightweight bag.
- To arrange and store little accessories like rings or earrings, use a pill organizer.
- To save room and keep their shape, roll up belts and tuck them inside shoes.
- Always pack a carry-on bag with necessities like prescription drugs, travel documents, and an extra set of clothes.
2024.06.01 19:20 lizzzels One bagging to London/France in June with Toddler
Hi!
We're packing a 26" Travelpro suitcase to share for 3 people. I'll need to squeeze in toddler and husband too. Toddler will need a few more duplicates of things as he occasionally has an accident. We have laundry at a few stops!
London (laundry)Lyon (laundry)Beaune (TBD Laundry)Paris (No laundry)
Thoughts? I've done Japan for 2 1/2 weeks in October with a single carry on for myself. We'll be gone for 17 days, with laundry in a few stops.
Me: 1 Jean
1 Short (Linen or Denim)
1 black Linen/Cotton Pant
1 Black Linen Jumpsuit
1 Dress
1 Jogger pants (plane outfit)
1 long sleeve Matching Shirt for Jogger (plane outfit)
1 Bike Short
PJ Shorts & Shirt
5 x Shirts (Combo of Ts, collared shirt, linen tanks)
3x Socks
6x Underwear
Shoes:
Sneakers
Vionic Sandals
Tevas (My birkenstocks are at the end of their life--tbd on buying a new pair before the trip, and I like having an ankle strap/water option with a small kid. They are tan, and pretty inoffensive.)
Toddler: Not opposed to just buying him new clothing if needed. Some of this clothing will need to be in our carry on backpack for emergencies!
5x Shirts
4x Shorts
2x Pants
7x Underwear
4x Socks
3x Jammies (Wear one on plane)
1x water all purpose light weight shoe, 1 x sneaker, crocs.

2024.06.01 19:16 PastorPlenty Rattling on Startup/Waking from Sleep
GPU: GeForce RTX 2070 Super
GPU: GeForce RTX 2070 Super
I bought this secondhand from a friend in the beginning of March 2024; AFAIK, he built PC this a few months prior (i.e. around December 2023 – January 2024). A few months later I had to move from TX to FL for work (May 4th). I'm relatively new to PCs and hardware, so I wasn't sure how to handle it since I was flying on short-notice and using UbeLyft/taxis. It's a mini-case—so I wrapped the entire tower and packed it deep in a suitcase without removing any of the hardware components and checked my bag. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to research how to properly transport it because of the nature of the move. During my layovers I had enough time to read through lots of different advice on separate threads and realized that I had done this entirely wrong (it's a mini-case so I probably could've just stored the tower in my carry-on in retrospect). Regardless, here we are.
It was in perfect condition prior to my flight. When I moved in it booted up and worked just the same. However, there has been a consistent rattling noise coming from inside the case. The only time this rattling sound can be heard is on startup or waking the PC from sleep. If I lock it and walk away for 15 minutes and then come back: no rattling—it starts up the same as the first day I bought it. Without opening everything, it sounds like this is coming from the GPU (or at least where the GPU is sitting in this build).
From what I've noticed in the last 2 weeks, the memory usage seems to have also risen a noticeable amount in task manager (from ≈ 40% usage on daily activities to ≈ 80%). I haven't been using it for anything graphically demanding like gaming since I purchased it so I don't have any metrics for the GPU's performance. I've been very busy this last month but I think it's about time that I get around to troubleshooting/fixing this; any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated!

2024.06.01 17:09 cheese_nipples25 Feedback Requested: A new take on the trading card box
I am seeking feedback from the community on a project I've been working on over the last few years.
I have bought different ultimate guard products to carry my cards around, and while I do think they make a fine product, it was still lacking in some areas for me. I've take some inspiration for the hardware/tool industry as well as the DIY Stanley toolboxes that many in the Magic community use to transport their cards. The intent of this product is to be a purpose built and designed product for trading card users. How is it different from the Stanley Toolbox? The biggest differentiators would be purposeful design, expand-ability, and overall design look and feel.
Instead of uploading a bunch of images, I put together a quick presentation and posted it to G-Drive for access.
What's my goal here? I want to make this into a real product. I am a designer and I know how to get products into manufacturing, but first I need to know if this is even a product worth making. Hence, I am here seeking feedback from real users, people who actually might care about a product like this. For me personally and professionally I think it is really important to get feedback from actual users.
If you would provide any feedback, whether in the comments or personal message, it would be greatly appreciated. Some questions I am personally interested in are below but feel free to provide anything and everything.
Last note, I am currently in the process of updating some design elements so apologies if you notice some difference in design features in the presentation. I really wanted to get posted today and just haven't had to generate the remainder of the images. The intent is still there.

If you would provide any feedback, whether in the comments or personal message, it would be greatly appreciated. Some questions I am personally interested in are below but feel free to provide anything and everything.

2024.06.01 16:35 CoffeeClub_ Using the Beis backpack as your personal item
Hello everyone, I am going to be going on a 6 week trip throughout Europe this summer and am planning on bringing a small carry on suitcase and my beis backpack as a personal item. I already know that the backpack's dimensions are a little bit bigger than the measurements of some of the airlines (WestJet, EasyJet, LOT, Tarom) I will be flying with, but not by much. I am planning on only packing a couple of things into the backpack initially, and gradually filling it as I purchase new items/gifts on my trip. I hope this will help with not being stopped.
I was wondering if anyone has travelled with this backpack before as a personal item and what their experience was? Were you stopped, or were you able to coast by undetected?

2024.06.01 14:46 snarkylimon Battle of the airport bag
 | Hello wagoonies submitted by snarkylimon to WagoonLadies [link] [comments] So note that it’s officially June the one and we’re all getting siiiiked to pull out those pocketbooks, I thought I’d share some rep research with you. I’m gearing up for a major move and of course, what’s the first order of business for a wagoonie? Find the perfect airport bag! Now I like to overthink my purchases, or it’ll be decision paralysis for me. If you’re like that too, I hope it’s a) helpful b) to hear your thoughts c) some inspo for your June bag buying bonanza season. criteria (This is only my personal preferences for an airport bag, feel free to add your own) 👜 Lightweight: 🧳 Not too structured — slouchy : for ease of carrying and also storing in the poor person economy seats 👜Shoulder sling: Need them hands free to push my many suitcases 👜 fully closed : I don’t want to look for a missing passport under the seats but a fully closed bag is not easy to find. 🧳 spacious: must fit a laptop and other stupid crap! 👜 timeless and versatile: I’m old. I’d like to keep the bags I buy. top contenders (so far) 🌸The ROW, Margaux: i know I know, it’s the new black. And it looks…nice? But I don’t feel excited by it. I really really want to like it and the brown suede version looks luxe but is this bag a bit… boring? What am I missing? 🌸YSL Icare: Boy does Angelina look good wearing it. But I feel like the hardware logo is too big. I lean discreet when it comes to branding and I’m woefully short. Not sure if I’ll look like uncle fester with a handbag the size of me. Also, has the moment passed for this bag? 🌸 Givenchy Nightingale: Love the slouch, love that it’s quiet. But, not exciting. A solid choice though. In fuck, murder marry, I choose marry. 🌸 Chanel 22 bag: Now I’ve been eyeing this trash bag for a while now and I’m pretty seduced. Not sure that those chains will be kind to my shoulders with that laptop inside. 🌸 Balenciaga Rodeo: I like its quiet and function over looks aesthetic. It looks timeless and I’m really considering it. One small reservation is the top handle. I wonder if it’s supportive enough of the first pocket of the bag. 🌸 Balenciago Monaco: Now this one has me drooling. Shiny ✅ soft ✅ quilted ✅ and I’ll probably get it anyway because it’s on sale. But she’s my go to node lipstick. She’s the style I go for, and I have many other very very similar bags. I really want to buy something that I don’t have already if you know what I mean! 🌸Goyard St Louis: Ok, so I am one of those people who thought Goyard was fugly. But Rachel toting her shit to the pool in this green gorgeousness in White Lotus season 1 has totally repluenced the ever loving shit out of this bag. Only (major)downside — no closure. 🌸Picotin: I normally only have eyes for a Birkin but this one’s the quiet boy next door who was right in front of you all along and you never noticed his many charms. This one’s growing on me. But — no closure. What’s your top airport bag, fellow wagoonies? |
2024.06.01 14:05 Strict_Move_1367 Splitting Nights in Osaka + Kyoto with heavy luggage?
Hello! I am going to be in Osaka and Kyoto for a week/8 days this June. I will be having two heavy checked suitcases, a carry on, and my backpack with me as I am doing an Asia tour.
Should I split my accommodations and book separate hotels? Or should I make Osaka my home base the entire time?
I’m not sure if it is worth the time to spend time to change hotels and am a little concerned about getting my luggage from one place to the next.
Edit: I’m aware of doing luggage delivery but am not sure if it is worth the hassle.
