Quick Release Keychain Recommendations
  • Do you know the size of it? I was considering locking carabineers like this or even rock climbing ones, however they're way too big for a small keychain.

    Edit: oo gate .63 inches. That probably means overall length is around 1.5 inches. That's not bad

  • [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday
  • I think the demographic is slightly different. The people buying consoles might know more about what they're buying and do some research about it. Whereas the newest iphone getting released all the normies will flood to it and get the newest shiny apple product after they hear about its release.

  • Are TOTTs Necessary?

    I come across some caches that I haven't been able to find that indicate requires TOTT. What exactly are TOTT and do you need them? The only ones I've done are the birdhouses one where I use a long paint roller so that's obviously necessary. I did a nano size one that said it requires TOTT but it was a small ass magnet sized thing and I just found it using my eyes.

    TLDR; What are TOTTs and do I need to buy TOTTs to do caches?

    Quick Release Keychain Recommendations

    I would like something secure (preferably locking) and not made using cheap labor but I can be flexible. Obviously the keybar magnut isn't locking so I'm here exploring other options. I didn't go with the nite ize nite binder because I hear those aren't durable. I've looked at carabiners but either they're not locking or too big.

    So far the best contenders I've seen is the keybar medium Magnut which has about 18lbs of pull forcem

    Watch Straps Recommendations

    I am planning on buying a jays and kays 22mm adapter, and thinking of a nato and a perlon strap for a GWM 5610u. Thinking either crowns and buckles or CNS, but I hear crowns and buckles is better so I might shell out for the extra cost.

    What nato strap do you use? Any recommendations?

    Fun Activites and Sidequesting Adventures to do

    So I was out with my friend today and we had nothing planned. So I would like to ask y'all to suggest activities and just little adventures you guys would do.

    List of things we did:

    • Searched online of things to do in our county and found some cool activities. Ended up going to a vietnamese lantern festival thing

    • Geocaches

    • Wandered around in a park because of geocaching

    • Tasting of water from the water fountain at the park

    Free (ish) Week Trial of Premium

    I emailed Geocaching support asking if they could give me a free trial to see if it was worth it. They responded like right away giving me a code for a free week trial but it was attached to a year subscription ($40). I subscribed anyways because I guess it's not too bad and I might be able to cancel it if I don't want it.

    So far, I will keep it since it unlocked a few geocaches around Cal Poly Pomona and at parks near my area. So for me, it's worth it, especially when it encourages me to to outside and touch some grass.

    I have an interview tomorrow morning, any tips, suggestions advice?

    Interviewing for a part time internship for Entry Level IT. I am a full time student Comp Sci major and wanna go into networking, servers, security, so hopefully this gets me my foot in the door. I am a terrible soft skills person and really nervous. My friends told me to print out my resume and transcripts, I will surely do that. Anybody got anything else to suggest?

    Update: I got the position! I honestly didn't even prepare for it, didn't even know what the company did. The comment that talked about learning to search things up was right on, they asked me what I would do if I didn't know how to do something. I answered "looking things up, asking others, and consult documentation." The company seemed really cool and is structured pretty much like Valve Corp in that they wanted jacks of all trades and it was company owned.

    Thank you for all the helpful advice. It definitely helped me out, and hopefully, it helps others out as well.

    Best Cheap Dotted Notebook Recommendation

    So far I've come across a really cheap $2, 80 sheet notebook on Walmart. However, I wouldn't want to support them. I might have to buy it though, if nothing else is within this range.

    I have tried a set of high quality notebooks like $15 for 2 notebooks on Amazon but I found them too be too high quality for my liking. The paper is too smooth, cover too nice, generally not beat upable without me not feeling bad about it.

    What's the Best Geocaching Loot you Found or Know of?

    Not too long ago, I did a geocache and the FTF was a tag from the owner's late grandfather from the Apollo missions or something I forget. Thought that was pretty neat.

    Geocaching in Cal Poly Pomona

    The geocaching is pretty bad around the campus. Only 5 on campus. Been around the UCI area since I'm in OC and it's vastly different. Wonder why. Sure there's less people but I'm sure some of us still play geocache around here? I wonder why.

    Not Many Geocaches

    The geocaching is pretty bad around campus huh. Only 5 on campus. Been around the UCI area since I'm in OC and it's vastly different. Wonder why. Sure there's less people but I'm sure some of us still play geocache around here?

    Where to Recycle Filament?

    I have a huge bag of filament waste. Where should I send this? I know it is only commercially recyclable in like very specific cases so stuff like PLA will almost never be recycled. However, I do hear of companies accepting filament and they sell back the rolls and stuff. I'm not looking to make a profit or anything, just gotta get this off of me and I want the most sustainable way to do so.

    Standard Notes Premium

    When SimpleLogin merged with Proton, proton unlimited members are able to use SimpleLogin premium for free. Is that the case for Standard Notes? I haven't figured out a way to do this.

    Cube Purchase Advice

    I'm starting out with a cheap Mo Fang Ge brand cube but it's pretty stiff for my taste. I saw some videos about speedcubes and how you can adjust them and all that, thought it was neat. What are some good cubes out there? I would want to avoid any Chinese brand cubes if possible because cheap and Chinese probably means their workers aren't fairly compensated.

    Edit: after much research, I don't think a non-chinese brand cube will be possible. So I guess recommend me whatever the best options are. From the $10-20 range would be a good price for me.
