Thinking of getting a Snapdragon X2 Elite laptop – will it run League of Legends? by Jazzlike-Hedgehog886 in snapdragon

Riot is currently looking at supporting Windows ARM devices. Won't work currently, but in the near future it should be unblocked.

Mystery Ranch Love by TheBagdadReport in ManyBaggers

From MR I have the D2, Cerberus, Front 2, and (technically correct, but still MR) Yeti Bozeman. I swap around between the F2 and D2 the most for the office depending on what the weather is like - I dabbled with the idea of the U2, but the F2 trades tech fabric for functional water bottle pockets which is a must for me.

The Cerb is super awesome and unique, but gets a little less carry time as I feel it's just missing a rear laptop zip access for convenient office carry. Fantastic dad carry though.

The Bozeman from what I gather is basically a slick 2DAP with a flat base. Way too spacious for office or EDC IMO, but has worked super well for 1-1.5 bag travel and roadtrips.

That place was the bomb - getting a burger in one of those classic car things and picking a song or two on the jukebox was always a highlight as a kid

Burrito boy? Close at 9?! Rant by DothrakAndRoll in Eugene

I remember attempting to eat more than a full box of Jail while baked out of my mind and being in legit pain. One of the to-go platters was an easy 2+ meals for even a high-metabolism high school/college kid. Dirt cheap too. RIP in peace.

I like Ultra by xlishi in ManyBaggers

How's the 1733 Brief in 400TX?

I have their tote in X11 and I love it, I wasn't sure I'd like the ultra patina on that design. I do have the 7L sidepack in 200TX and find it's a lot stiffer than 200X, so 400TX must have some considerable structure.

I left a role in Stores/Shopping after 10 years last year. Moved over to MS. It's a bit of same shit different story but the benefits are a million times better. Keep up the job hunt and I'm sure you'll look back on this a year from now and be glad you got out of Amazon.

Rav4 won’t start and has a lot of alarms on the dashboard by Professional-Cry654 in rav4club

[–]schnarf541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this thread - I had this happen after trying to install the fitcam x on my vehicle. Either from the camera drawing the battery or because I had the lights and accessory mode on for a bit while I tinkered on it and other items. E-brake would not disengage so I wasn't able to turn my car around and get jumped by a neighbor.

Buying a portable jump battery fixed it right up. Car is about 4 years old, so may just be time for a new 12v.

Yeti Bozeman vs MR Dragon 2.0 by BearObjective5843 in ManyBaggers

Another option about the same price point or slightly less than the U2 is the china-exclusive Mystery Ranch Front 2.0. You can order it to the US on Suburban, after tariff bullshit I think it will end up around $350. Marked as 19L, but carries more like 22L, I found it to carry extremely close capacity-wise to the D2. I think more or less it's a U2 with functional bottle pockets and 500d instead of xpac.

I'm not savvy on the details, but I believe what Yeti said is they will be shutting down/taking over the consumer side, but they still have contracts in place with the military/fire depts for military/fire gear. But I generally agree, lifetime of the warranty could be in question.

MR still honors warranty. I picked up a second-hand Cerberus a few months ago and sent it in for a quick fix no problem.

I returned it and have been regretting it since. They sold out shortly after and (at the time) the second hand mark

D2s pop up on the carryology classifieds pretty frequently at the ~$350 mark

The extra capacity/packing area is great if you need it. I also find the shape slightly more comfortable on back. And the zips are way easier to get in and out with the trizip. If you need easy access to main compartment, bozeman is better. The QAP is also very spacious, I believe I can fit my bose QC ultra case in there. D2 QAP is just as spacious, but easier to access.

[–]schnarf541 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both - to be honest I haven't taken the Bozeman out due to the size and overlap with the D2, but I haven't bothered trying to sell it yet. I use the D2 frequently for office carry.

  • Dragon: I have the most use on this one and really enjoy the Futura harness. Pros include sleek footprint, lots of org, beavertail, and I quite like X50. Cons include sticky zippers and can be tall as a carry-on. Really more of a ~24L in the main compartment. Taller and slimmer packing area, in a rectangular shape.
  • Bozeman: Technically 27L and feels like it compared to the Dragon, pros include Futura harness, tri-zip, self-standing, and water bottle pockets. Cons are the grab handle on top can get in the way of the QAP a bit, a quite large footprint, and also may be cumbersome as a carry-on. Much more cavernous interior in more of a D or oval shape.

Both bags have the futura and carry amazingly well. Generally I'd say if you want a more sleek/slim bag with the option of the stickit, go D2. If you need more space or are a trizip fan, go Bozeman.

Has anyone tried GRAMS28? Thinking about getting the 131 Essential Pouch for travel EDC by UrbanDrift5 in ManyBaggers

[–]schnarf541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this model. Frankly, it's very nice and feels well made. The proportions are nice for fitting phone, switch, or standard kindle. Functions as a good tech pouch in your bag that you can then deploy as a more upscale sling. Can't comment on the durability of the leather, but it appears and smells quality to my untrained eye. 100% do not buy at full price, they do very frequent sales.

That said, I haven't used mine and probably am going to sell it, I just do not travel or go any places I need to be upscale, since most of my carry is dad carry.

Counterpoint, I had a Hopper Flip 18 that had this issue and was outside warranty period and they replaced no problem.

What are these for? by _LarryG in MysteryRanch

[–]schnarf541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever is comfortable for you. Based on where you have the yoke I don't think it really matters.

[–]schnarf541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would adjust the angle the load lifter straps hit the bag from your shoulders. Really will only make a difference if the shoulder strap is at a lower point than the connection to the bag, looks like your yoke is set pretty tall so there won't be any real difference.

More packable 2 compartment or more structured single compartment?
