The coffee bag is a pretty ingenious idea!

I was gifted this soap bar bag a couple of years ago, and it accomplishes the same thing. Had I known about how versatile coffee bags were, I would’ve asked for a few boxes instead.

I just couldn’t get the right amount of soap to clean my clothes. I erred on the side of using more soap, which just meant that I needed to rinse my clothes a bit more. I had the proportions down with the liquid form, so it’s just a matter of adapting to a new tool.

• Soap is always tricky for me. I’ve recently been using Dr Bronner’s. It’s fairly concentrated and a travel-sized bottle covers my showering needs as well as my laundry. The incredibly minor thing I don’t like is that it’s a liquid soap, which is a small chore I have to handle when going through airport security.
• Packing cubes are fantastic. They help bring a sense of order to a 35L bag.
• Practice. I choose random weekends to pack my 1 bag and live out of it. It really helps build confidence in what you’re choosing to pack.

• Separate batteries. Using a device for music and a standard phone drains from the same battery. You could carry a power brick, but then you’re carrying two bricks for worse audio.
• No camera. Certain work assignments won’t allow me to bring a device with a camera into those zones. Or, if I do, the transition process is so intrusive that it’s not worth it.

Those are the only unique characteristics. You can compensate other differences on a phone like adding an additional DAC and/or amp.

I own this.

I’m guessing the author doesn’t have this issue, but the model sold in the US has a volume ~~limiter~~ limit on them. My daily headphones aren’t easy to drive, so this was a concern I have that many other people might not care about.

I ended up having to import mine to get a device that doesn’t have this enforced.

Edit: Sorry I was clumsy with my words. It’s a limit on volume, since it’s an option for high gain.

I take a very long-winded approach. I try to find a copy of the rules online, and then read through it (which is the first thing I would do if I had gone out to buy the game).

Then, instead of watching a review, I try to find a play through video to see how it plays out. The video isn’t completely devoid of colorful commentary or random banter, but it does give me a realistic expectation of how long the game truly takes.

I generally know whether I’d appreciate a game or hate it from reading the rule book. The video just saves me the cycle of buying, trying, and returning if I’m on the fence.

I would have expected studios to use a 3rd party system back then. GameSpy was huge in that era to cover that functionality.

If “half your age, plus seven” gets you the youngest age society will accept, then, “minus seven, times 2” should get you the oldest acceptable age.

So (18-7)*2 is 22. A mom with a 3 year-old is still a mom.

And if that doesn’t suspend your disbelief, you could still slap on “step” to the relationship label and the script writes itself.

US states. If I have more than 50 different host names to manage, I should re-evaluate my hobbies. And then lazily move on to US state capitals.

I see this on my instance with an age of 6 minutes

Lemmy’s allowlist feature is generally recommended against. It limits federation to only that list, which makes discoverability harder than it already is.

For a self-serving instance, it’s more tenable to use a blocklist and federate normally.

I see that it’s 12 seasons long. Is this series a worthwhile watch?
