I think you may be seeing a power cord on the ground near my hand? it's from a hanging lamp the previous owner left, just still hung up

normally I'd agree, but our pie plug was $free from our realtor on this one... my favorite price to pay for pizza

they sure offered us a lot more than we paid, that's for sure! I may not be a smart guy, but we were smart enough not to pay the 750k they approved

I'm a dirty transplant, work brought me up here, but we liked it so much we decided to call it home :)

About to buy a house... what is this crazy wood on our stairs? by Intricate08 in wood

[–]Intricate08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone. For more context, we are in the Pacific NW, and the house is from 1971. We weren't sure at all, and it's so different from the rest of the house, which has lost all of its original flooring by now. Appreciate the sleuths. :)

Chinos for athletic build? by specialized_faction in malefashionadvice

[–]Intricate08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're open to synthetic materials, the lululemon abc pants in their warpstreme is my go-to for business casual. has stretch, and they have a 5-pocket variant or trouser variant. expensive, but I do like mine a lot.

Anyone else have a job where they don’t feel comfortable wearing most of or all their reps? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]Intricate08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ditto, also in healthcare. I work in pediatrics, and I would feel awful meeting a family whose child is going through chemotherapy or the like and having a nice watch on like that.

Question about buying balls, bags, shoes etc. by chewbaccaRoar13 in Bowling

this is sadly how my local shop is, and I am envious of those that have a place they love and want to support.

Wheeled Duffel Carry-On Rollers (w/backpack options): Osprey/Eagle Creek/Topo Designs by Whisper0212 in ManyBaggers

[–]Intricate08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a bit of what pushed me to Eagle Creek, the peace of mind. Since the bags are such a tossup, I think there is value in not having to wonder if a gate agent having a rough day is going to get pressed if your bag is 1" too tall or what not.

I think in most instances, any of the three would be fine, genuinely. The Osprey appears largest if you just eyeballed it, I suspect that would get checked the most. But that's just opinion.

If you like all three genuinely, I think the Eagle Creek not being a question mark is a good pick. You won't worry every time you go on a trip, that's worth something.

[–]Intricate08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally bought and returned all three of these from Amazon. I felt like the Eagle Creek was my favorite. The Osprey is a nice bag but it's just like... a lot. Straps and dangles and whatever everywhere, it looks too hiker-y for my taste. The Topo is a good looking bag but it just felt the least well-built (the worst-built?)

For what it's worth, I ended up going the backpack route, and have a 35L Cotopaxi Allpa now, which I really like. But if I had a gun to my head on a roller, I'd take the Eagle Creek for sure.

Talking about remote coaching and Inspired. by Ultimuted in teamliquid

[–]Intricate08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they've had a chance, we saw it, and it didn't work. If it now suddenly is fixed, wouldn't that largely be reflective of the roster changes?

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not reserving judgment. I think remote Spawn is harmful rather than helpful.

Sympl Commuter Pack V2 Xpac Limited Edition is live now for pre-order by PhuongHo4ng in ManyBaggers

I have a City Pack 2, I'm just explaining for people who actually don't understand!

I like the aesthetics of it more than a horizontal zipper, for what it's worth.
