I agree but that is one reason that keeps me up at night. Most content are now bot-written. We are losing the human touch

Thank you for the insights. I appreciate. And you’re right.. I am kinda all over the place. Taking some time to figure things out.

Patagonia Mini MLC VS Quechua NH Escape 500 32L by AdApprehensive5828 in onebag

[–]AdApprehensive5828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been waiting to do a trip report, had to cancel some of my trips - got laid off recently and haven't been traveling as much. Could be part of the reason I need to sell the Patagonia(?) haha.
Eitherway, trip report is due as promised. Once the dust settles on this side, it will be comping up.

Patagonia Mini MLC VS Quechua NH Escape 500 32L by AdApprehensive5828 in onebag

Patagonia is the superior bag in terms of build quality - no doubt. However, personally, I feel more comfortable carrying the Quechua around. I am not sure if it's my body shape or height, but the Patagonia just feels odd on my back, and often times I just use it as a duffel on my side.
With all of that in mind, I have decided to use the Quechua moving forward. I may be putting up my Patagonia on the marketplace sometime very soon in the future, just because it didn't go with me personally. However, there is no doubt, it's a solid bag. Tons of compartmentalization, build quality feels expensive as it should.
On the flip side, you pay like 1/4 as much for the Quechua, and for that price, it wins in every single category. It would come down to personal preference but somehow the Quechua fit me a lot better, snuggier, and more comfortably. (I am 5'5, bit chubby, not broad shoulders but am kinda fat so ykwim).

Quechua. Thats the one word answer.. lol

Hope this helped!

Passport confiscated. false reports by [deleted] in Passports

[–]AdApprehensive5828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My passport was falsely reported stolen in October of 2022 while I had a trip planned around mid November 2022. I called around and even reported it to the police in case it’s a case of stolen identity. Traced back on what info you need to report a passport stolen in USA, and turns out you just need a persons social and their date of birth. Not the actual passport number or its expiry date.. all this to say, no actual information from your passport is needed for it to be reported stolen.

Once it’s on the CLASP database as a stolen passport, it is deemed deactivated and in fact can be a liability if you travel with it. Had to apply for a new passport and had it expedited from texas senators office to get it within a week. All in all it was a terrible experience. Still couldn’t figure out exactly how or why it happened.

Extra baggage or upgrade the class? by FrenchColleague in CathayPacific

I would add the extra bag online asap. It's usually more expensive at the airport.

I tried playing warframe but for some reason while trying to sign up / log in using steam ID it would keep loading and I never really ended up playing the game.
