    Can I add something to your list? About 2-3 years ago I came across the yoga tune up therapy balls. They are a semi soft ball either about baseball size ( plus pair) or smaller . Out of all the various soft tissue products I've tried really allow you to adjust the pressure as you work out sore spots. I'm a professional photographer who travels for work, I'm often carrying a heavy Aer travel bag through airports, holding cameras all day, or working on a laptop. All of which can play havoc on my back or shoulders and traps. These balls take up a small amount space but really work wonders and stop small flare ups from becoming entrenched . The ability to release tension in and around your neck or lower back ( roll out your glutes) is worth a small amount of weight. If you're exploring a new city or say hiking the Camino, get these for rolling out your feet after a long day. My crew all use them now.

    Watching Tom and Lauren walk through TSA in all black, with sunglasses and masks, triggers my inner gamer instincts for some reason. I feel like a cut scene is about to happen. Also question for the community. Do you guys really find it practical to use both a tech pouch and an admin panel? I feel like tech pouches just bring bulk to what should be a well-designed admin panel.

      I have a timbuk2 backbag. I dont use any tech pouch and when I need to travel with tech I just use the bag’s inner pockets.
      Usually my work trips are quite short (a few days) so it’s def not a digital nomad situation. But I haven’t felt the need for a tech pouch yet

    Id love to see you have a better choice then the bagel. It seams so outdated and with most things going usb or usb c there has to be better options out there. Also i feel like some of the choice are eaither always out of stock on the list or no longer being made like the tom bin mini ghost pouches. Id really like to see a major rehaul of the list or just better alternative listed. As some one who travels a lot for conventions in hotels id love to see more eye on keep your lists updates or assigning other memebers to stay on top of updating things

    Maybe you can look into happy ears earplugs. I just got a pair and they are very tiny and still do a great job to shut down noise. I like them because they create a seal without having to push them as far in as other earplugs while still being very comfortable to sleep in. They also have versions made from recycled plastic. Keep it up!

    Fyi, that Anker charger does not give your laptop the full 140 w. It's 150 w split between three ports. But each individual Port maxes out at 100W. I'm waiting for anchor to come out with the small form factor charger that will do 140 w on one port and also has additional ports that I can use to charge other devices. They do have a 140 watt charger that only has one port. They also have a power strip type thing that will do 140 w in one port and I tend to use that for work.

      @@jxirocxmpos you do if you want it to charge at full speed for the 16". If you don't care about charging it fast, it's sensible to step down to a smaller charger. Anker has one that'll do 100 from one port and 20 from another (laptop and phone). This " 150" W one confuses people because they think it'll do 150 from one port.

    I went on a hunt for the most minimalist sunglasses case and ended up getting one on etsy that essentially is a suede cover that folds over the lenses while the arms are “left out”. My glasses arent entirely encased in something hard but for low key everyday use, they work perfectly and have saved me so much space.
