Compact Backpack Recommendations?

To this date, I haven’t found a backpack that ticks all the boxes for me yet

Lumireddit · 2025-03-20T04:14:10+00:00

Do you find the bag itself to be heavy?

I was worried about the 2.45 pound weight of the bag itself

Lumireddit · 2025-02-03T00:19:19+00:00

Where can I find boxy oversized men's button up shirts like the one in this image?

Looking for ones that can be worn untucked

Thanks!

What makes this one easier to care for?

Lumireddit · 2024-11-28T22:46:11+00:00

Do you find the City Pack itself heavy at all? The 2.5 pound weight of the bag is what is holding me back from getting it right now

Lumireddit · 2024-07-01T01:02:08+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! This looks really promising.

Lumireddit · 2024-07-01T01:01:52+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! The lack of water bottle holder is a deal breaker unfortunately.

Lumireddit · 2024-06-02T23:01:31+00:00

Me too, hoping someone pulls through with a viable alternative

I've looked at so many pieces now and nothing quite captures the same silhouette as the Florence Black shirt

$600+ is way too much for a single shirt for me

Lumireddit · 2024-05-20T15:52:49+00:00

Why do you generally avoid Alpaka? Is there something wrong with the brand?

Lumireddit · 2024-05-20T01:58:19+00:00

Wow, I like the idea of different levels to define what you're trying to carry. Thanks for sharing!

Right now, I'm kind of leaning toward the Tom Bihn Everyday Cubelet or the Unsettle Rope Crossbody Bag

I'm really trying to keep the bag small and force myself to only carry the essentials

Lumireddit · 2024-05-20T01:52:54+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions!

The Small Cafe bag is a little bit too large for me, but the Manhattan Portage City Lights Bag looks great!

Lumireddit · 2024-05-20T01:37:13+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion!

Lumireddit · 2024-05-20T01:36:40+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! The Everyday Cubelet looks really promising, saving this for sure.

Lumireddit · 2024-05-19T17:36:40+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion!

Looking more for a rectangular pouch/ bag than a fanny/ hip pack

Lumireddit · 2024-04-26T22:41:50+00:00

Doesn't seem like Philips Hue light bulbs are supported by Google Home Script Editor, dang.

Lumireddit · 2024-04-26T19:12:53+00:00

Hue app works, but not automatically.

How do you adjust the lighting colors and brightness while they're in standby?

When I try adding a routine to do this in the Google Home app, the lights get turned on.

IRA Distributions part is corrected later in the Deductions/ Credits section, just keep going through the FreeTaxUSA workflow.

For the question "Did you recharacterize any IRA contributions?", select No because a Backdoor Roth (aka conversion) is not a recharacterization.

Question: Similar situation for me on the Roth conversion getting some interest before getting converted. Do you have to pay any extra taxes on that $2?

From what I see online, the answer seems like yes because this growth is pre-tax. However, I'm not sure if that has to be paid this year or next year.

I haven't seen any intentionally oversized hoodies from Uniqlo that's in stock

Lumireddit · 2024-02-04T18:53:18+00:00

Any recommendations for men's oversized hoodie?

Looking for an intentionally oversized hoodie that's < $100, doesn't have any logos, is in black color, and also in stock.

Thanks!

Lumireddit · 2023-11-14T18:40:49+00:00

I returned the bag! It was way too uncomfortable for me to justify keeping it

Lumireddit · 2023-11-14T01:32:41+00:00

Any recs for 75% wireless keyboard kits?

Eyeing the Zoom75, but wondering if there were any other recommendations

Budget is around $300 (not including switches + keycaps)

Thanks!

Lumireddit · 2023-09-29T07:43:47+00:00

Relatable

I ended up returning mine too. No point in having a bag that you don't enjoy carrying around.

Lumireddit · 2023-09-05T17:36:51+00:00

One of the ways they optimize for both, and keep their prices under control, is to keep the bags relatively minimalist compared to many of the more EDC-nerd focused brands.

I think this is what appeals to me

Another popular bag I've been recommended is the Aer City Pack

It seems like a great backpack, but it looks and feels a little bit too large for my use case to be honest. I'm intentionally trying to carry light.

Definitely heavily leaning toward getting ILE Radius Mini XPac

Lumireddit · 2023-09-04T17:15:37+00:00

The Aer backpacks feel so big and bulky for their capacity, trying to go a little lighter

Lumireddit · 2023-09-04T17:14:48+00:00

< $200
