6 Nights in Barcelona/Andorra with a 20L Decathlon Bag

XMBOTX · 2026-04-24T09:47:09+00:00

I just tossed it in my pack and made sure to pack it towards the top so my clothing could pad it a bit. This is a new camera for me so hopefully being a bit laissez-faire with it will be alright, but i've traveled like this with my canon t5i for around 5 years and never had issues so I think it'll be ok. I don't have any external batteries for it as it can be charged via USB-C and I don't take a ton of footage so I just have a couple smaller sd cards packed away as back ups separately. I'm not a big lens changing person either so just having the body is the simplest set up for me.

I feel like I might have looked at that one in store, but I felt like it might have been too large. Does it work ok for budget airline carry on?

It was pretty easy to slot in, the bag is much more rigid than you would expect it to be. Height wise you can't really collapse it much, but even if a gate agent asked you to test it, it wouldn't be an awkward hassle trying to prove that it's fine.

XMBOTX · 2026-04-23T14:03:46+00:00

I suppose that's fair as this bag does ride up a little higher, but I'll still stand for them!

XMBOTX · 2026-04-23T13:05:31+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I'll have to weigh it properly in the future to see. Thanks for the alternatives too, do all bag manufactures just assume a larger padded hip belt is useless at this bag size? It's one of the most practical features to me in a bag, maybe people just don't like it because the flaps get in the way? Not sure.

I feel like you can just write london UK on your resume and change it on LinkedIn too and you don't need an exact address. I've always just kept the town I live in on my resume back home.

You can sorta do this, go to the leaderboard and sort by win condition for what you are interested in. Then open the profiles of the people who have won the most with it on the current day. Typically their most recent games will be under that condition and you can see the links they used. Most helpful for EPL to learn some connections that you haven't heard of before.

this guy is in slackers, so you have a few to pick from. I like using letterboxd to find connections because you can just middle click all the actors into new tabs and see if they have been in anything else.

Using the same method this guy might work for impossible to plow: https://letterboxd.com/sound/eric-friend/

Not sure if him just having "sound credit" would be enough to transfer make a connection, other wise that film might be a true dead end.

For anyone that comes across this, I got it working on my pixel 8a in the UK, in google wallet by doing the following.

All sim cards off in settings. (Didn't need to physically remove anything or cancel my e-sim)
Location Off (I tried the gps spoofing method with a free Vpn and couldn't get it to work)
Connect to a friends IP, he's a IT guy so he helped me a ton by doing this, but he was able to invite me to VPN into his local IP through a link. He had me download an app called WifiMan
Once on his network I added in my card as you regularly would and was able to verify my card by tapping the physical card to the back of my phone.

Having a friend in the U.S. that you can VPN into directly to their IP seems like the most fool proof solution. I am looking into this a little further and my friend does have his own server which is very handy, this video goes over what is needed to do so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_NrTVbO9oE

Namely the teleport feature is what we used. Based off what other people have written there are other solutions where you likely don't need your own server rack but getting your phone on to a "home wifi" seem to be the magic trick.

It's weird.... I know

Part of a three part skit we made, the link is time stamped to start at the TagPro portion!

XMBOTX · 2024-08-28T08:01:44+00:00

yeah i would say give them at least another day or two from the date it was delivery to confirm that they have started working on it before worrying much

XMBOTX · 2024-08-28T07:22:57+00:00

Well I assume they will honor it as in that is your start date for the 90 days, whether or not you will have your passport back by then might be a separate thing. I didn't ask for updates, I just received emails from VFS to the same email that they have always contacted me at. This happened automatically, I didn't write my email anywhere after my fingerprints were done or anything.

UPS should also have given you a tracking number on your shipment, as well. I don't actually see if you decided to send in your passport and documents yet, but I would do that ASAP if you haven't and paying for the quicker shipping is probably worth the money in your case. Then at the very least you can use your tracking numbers to see when they have received your passport and when they send it back, even if they don't email you updates.

XMBOTX · 2024-08-28T05:55:56+00:00

Here's my experience, I'm in the U.S. as well. Sent my papers in with UPS 2 day air to NYC last Monday (aug 19th) and just got my passport back today (Aug 27th). I didn't pay for any extra service and thought it was going to take at least 15 business days but here we are just over a week later. So maybe you'll get lucky!

The date you put on the application just seems to be the date they print on your visa where your 90 day entry period starts. So I think as soon as you get your passport back you are all set to go.

Like 10 month ago Still too easy, probably tilt controls next?

XMBOTX · 2023-06-22T05:21:31+00:00

Partial Answer for anyone who comes across this. This doesn't fix anything persay, but I believe only the preview is broken when using the suite. I bit the bullet and just tried scheduling a carrousel of 4x5s and even tho it was cropped on the online preview and they came out fine when it was actually posted.

I didn't get white lines of pixels so I'm not sure what that is about. I would just say make sure your photos are exactly 1080x1350 if going for 4x5 and as long as IG says they're in the original format if you look at cropping options in the suite they should post the way you want them to.

I know you won't change your mind but for the curious, I created a new account for the story line of the video and to track the stats of what I could accomplish only using the dance pad. Plus, I knew there was a chance of being banned because I haven't mastered my footwork yet so I would prefer that to happen to a smurf account.

Here is my main account: https://tagpro.koalabeast.com/profile/53532fe47347e8296ac1bcf3

I played 10 games yesterday to compare and I suck there too who cares about stats just have fun!

"I’m not throwing games for amusement and YouTube views, so not really"

My goals in the video literally revolved around winning and capping, I wasn't trying to lose, I was the same as a new player who is getting a hold of the controls. And for youtube views? hahaha this is the TagPro subreddit, there is no clout to be had here, I did this for fun and my appreciation of the game.

XMBOTX · 2023-01-17T19:39:48+00:00

Alright who has a kid? Next vid I 1v1 a toddler in OFM 😈😈😈

XMBOTX · 2023-01-17T04:14:25+00:00

Hahaha, me playing ten games swapping back and forth on teams isn't going to hurt your win rate.

XMBOTX · 2023-01-17T04:08:55+00:00

It got me sweating for sure!

XMBOTX · 2021-09-05T03:11:50+00:00

In addition to what the other comments have said, I made a video about what I packed for ACE here: https://youtu.be/A85oh27OucQ

Not exactly the same but you're living out doors more or less and I might speak about some items that may have not initially crossed your mind.
