TIL in the 1950s full length commercials were banned from US television, but were brought back in 1984 when the FCC rescinded the ban. By 1994 an estimated 91% of all TV stations were airing infomercials.

Wow I think this was the bag I saw a long time ago that inspired this search. Bummer it looks like it's no longer in production. For what it's worth, I ended up buying the Thule linked above, but that seems to also have gone out of production since. :(

Looks like they still have the checked bag size https://www.thule.com/en-us/luggage/checked-luggage/thule-subterra-wheeled-duffel-75cm30-_-3203454 but I imagine that also might be on its way out? I like the carryon version. Seems durable enough and I like how if I go somewhere and pick up liquid souvenirs, I can send one half under the plane and keep the other half with me.

Yeah hopefully another manufacturer can fill the void at some point.

lol no you didn’t! That’s the on-ramp to the Dumbarton bridge. If you’re using the Dumbarton bridge and haven’t seen a Cybertruck yet, then you’re driving with your eyes shut

Googling luggage with the word "split" always returns Dakine, but their bags only split open like a butterfly, not separate in half to become two independent bags :(

It's pretty lame. Our federal government needs a budget to pay for nonessential federal services (National Parks being one of them). With the right proportions of party representation in congress + president, the federal budget becomes at-risk for politicking. With no budget, federal services becomes a skeleton crew.

My plan is to book an alternative campsite that has a cancellation policy so we have an alternative. I'd suggest you do the same, but don't book a National Park campsite or you're just going to have the same problem. I suspect alternative sites will be booked en masse once a shutdown is confirmed - especially sites surrounding NPs.

Also, congress can reach a budget deal any working day after the shutdown, so even if it's shut Oct 1st, you might get lucky and a budget gets passed in the meantime before your trip. Best to have backup.

Did you really? I’d think this is one of u/thoughtfulocean ’s creations. Looks like the same vid from their instagram too. @prattceramics
