i mean honestly - a water thermos?? do they not have water where you're going? do you do your computing in some sort of parched desert wasteland without access to anything that might slake your thirst and end your suffering?

actually no they don't, our lovely building has detected lead in the pipes and it's not recommended we drink from the water fountains, and while we have a sink that's supposedly "filtered" I'm not really sure they have ever changed said filter. I like to stay healthy but drinking lead is the opposite of healthy so I carry a thermos to stay hydrated

i use this because who cares

i had a custom timbuk2 built in 2010 and I didn't realize until 2012 that I accidentally had it made swedish-colored

the bad thing about it is the bag is refusing to wear out so i can't replace it

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

seconding making the trip to your local surplus store. they'll carry something in basic black, you don't have to buy camo if you don't want to answer questions about what you do deep in the woods when nobody's watching

because people over 17 have no business wearing backpacks. they buy briefcases, or if they're hipster dipshits, messenger bags

you can buy llbean products online. also west coasters don't know what quality looks like so they buy garbage that falls apart and get confused. slowly they are learning and llbean is opening stores further west.
