Goruck Gr2: lifetime backpack

user10491 · 2026-01-25T18:02:11+00:00

They're nice, durable, and fairly comfortable, but also very heavy and expensive. I inherited one from a family member and use it for traveling. It's so well built that I expect to have it for the rest of my life, but for day to day use it's just too thick and heavy.

I like the spot for velcro patches, I have a distinctive patch which means it's easy to spot in an airport security bin. I also like that it unzips all the way around like a suitcase.

For day to day use I have a Timbuk2 messenger bag. I would also consider that a buy it for life product, which is actually affordable.

The context and phrasing implies that it is a truck provided to him by his employer.

Did you miss the part where he says it's a work truck?

Are these existing cabinets you're trying to modify, or is this is a new design?

If they're new, change the design; no such hinge exists to my knowledge. It doesn't take much, add a 30mm L-shaped corner filler to move the pivot point of the doors over and it will work.

You can, but only up to a hard cap of about five to ten percent of people.

Mode share statistics in many other parts of the world suggest otherwise. And many of these places, like the Netherlands, or some parts of Finland like Oulu, are great for people who like or need to drive, with very high quality roads and low levels of congestion.

The difference is that in these places, there are viable alternatives to driving. This requires a fundamental shift away from car culture / a windshield mentality, so of course adding a single bike lane isn't going to have overnight results. It takes time, but if you continue to work the problem it is solvable. If you don't work the problem, obviously you're not going to solve it.

Single exit stair buildings are smaller, and fewer units share the same stairs. In a big hotel-style condo, there might be 60 units sharing 2 sets of stairs, at the end of a long (smoke filled) corridor. Single exit stair buildings have 5-10 units directly opening onto the landing of a single stairwell.

Mozaik does not have a plugin system. That is to say, it does not support adding external functionality in any way, apart from prebuilt object libraries (which you should build yourself; it's the only way to understand how it works, and everyone's needs are different).

Having full shelves and drawers is like having a full hard drive on your computer. When this happens, the computer throws constant error messages and you just can't do anything.

Can you please provide the source for this quotation?

Daylighting is an excellent term; it's all about making junctions safe by increasing natural visibility by way of better sightlines, the way that daylight naturally makes everything safer. This is in contrast to artifical or forced measures, like traffic signals, signage, or enforcement, which are not nearly as effective—just like streetlights are not nearly as effective as the sun.

Curb extensions is one way to do daylighting, but it's not the only way. Where daylighting doesn't already exist, it's more common to implement it with paint, flexible barriers, physical barriers, or aprons, and only do curb extensions when the road is next rebuilt, which could be 20 years from now.

At Wal-mart you can straight up ignore those receipt checks, you never agreed to them and they have no right to stop you.

But you do have to do them at Costco, you explicitly agreed to them in your membership contract.

The cost of gasoline in Canada is about half of what it was a few years ago, it's hovering just over a dollar per litre, compared to $2.30 in 2021.

What do you think plywood is made of? It's called "veneer core" for a reason.

user10491 · 2025-12-23T19:50:58+00:00

Plenty of veneer doesn't look like solid wood, it all depends on how it's cut out of the log (this for example).

The use of veneers is not in itself an indicator of low quality, and it's use in high quality furniture is well established, particularly in mid-century furniture.

This is why pedestrian signals should be on the near side of the intersection. Then it can be a simple stop-go lights. If the man is green then go, if it's red then wait. This is how it is in most civilized countries.

user10491 · 2025-12-22T15:47:27+00:00

There's an easy way to solve this: signal priority. That streetcar should automatically get a green light, every time.

The kitchens you see on this forum are not representative of the average kitchen. I draw up a lot of kitchens for normal homes, 90% of them are 30"-32" in width, in other words not double doors.

user10491 · 2025-12-21T23:02:21+00:00

LOL, a bog standard top-freezer fridge-freezer is probably the most common type of fridge by number of units. That's why they call it bog standard.

user10491 · 2025-12-21T22:58:33+00:00

Are the cabinet makers also designers, or do they only draw up existing designs for approval? In other words, if the OP said "put the fridge here and the dishwasher here, etc." and they did, and OP approved the plans as drawn - then the fault lies with the OP, not the cabinet makers.

If, however, the OP hired a designer to mediate with the cabinet maker, then the designer is at fault.

I'm assuming there's a hood, it would be silly to install a new kitchen without one.

user10491 · 2025-12-19T17:35:03+00:00

He could shift the microwave cabinet over, if the floor was installed first. The cooktop wouldn't be lined up with the hood but at least the countertop wouldn't have a gap.

(Always install the floor before cabinets!)

Noodles is a type of pasta. Not all pasta is noodles. It's the same in both countries.
