Anyone know a good backpack for university? I currently own a North Face Jester but it's proven to be the worst backpack I own given that it doesn't fit my laptop inside the sleeve (forcing it in might lead to breaking it) and the laptop sleeve/whatever padding they use for the back is bending my notebooks, and last semester it led to two notebooks beginning to break.

I'm currently browsing on Amazon and have settled for two options, a North Face Borealis and a Swiss Gear 1900. I've seen mostly everything I want including all the criteria below but I really would love anybody who owns these two or have any suggestions to give, to please send em over!

A. Waterproof (or at least resistant), as it rains fairly often where I live and I walk from my apartment to campus

B. A 17-inch laptop sleeve would be preferred, but it isn't really anything I'm dead set on wanting.

C. Multiple pockets! The Borealis has those and I store quite a few things in the Jester's secondary pocket like a Power Bank, food, etc

..Alongside the other two new weapons in S2. My favorite of the three will still be the Squid Blades (I chose Wolf Stick first and it was pretty good solely due to the fact you can draw enemies away from you with the aggro, but now that I have the squid blades, which can heal fairly well paired with some crazy burst damage which goes real hard in rifts, letting me use the spiral attack roughly every 5 seconds assuming I don't get knocked back (which the spiral attack prevents from happening) and I've gotten well over 100k damage more than teammates running Fists or Speedshot.

I massively regret going for the Wolf Stick first. I have been able to five star rifts and get the speedrun bonus (something which I wasn't able to do consistently) and paired with the increased chance to get cores, I feel like mo.co's already taking proper shape! Masteries are a good start, paired with the fact you can get OC cores from them by playing the game is great too! I've been able to do all three dojos for the Blades and did them in 5 seconds less than the 40s requirement with some clear room for improvement.

I'm enjoying the game a lot more now and I wanna see what else the team makes :)

Today I've (19M) come to grips that I am horrible at not wasting my money. For context, I'm a university student in Puerto Rico (making $10.50 an hour) and am making per month roughly $600 dollars with no 'necessary' expenditures. I live with my parents while I study and they insist on not making me pay rent + I walk to campus and my job. I thought I'd be great at saving money but I realize that I'm spending roughly 90% of what I make in a month, in things like Uber Eats, Amazon Purchases, etc.

​

In order to try and rectify these issues I have, I cancelled all memberships I don't actively use (Prime for Young Adults mainly) and have deleted Amazon, Shop, Uber Eats and Klarna in order to steer myself away from buying even more. I spoke with my dad in a serious conversation about me saving money (it was him who made me realize how awful I am at saving money) and that leads me to here.

​

Does anyone have any additional tips on how to save money? I've already got planned heading tomorrow to my local bank to see if I can automatically redirect $25 to $30 onto my savings account, as the bank account I signed up for has both a checkings and savings 'section' (don't know the terminology), and I'm also going to be putting in roughly $500 dollars that I had already taken out for any emergency expenditures inside said savings section. Does anyone have any additional tips for not spending money, or is it all down to pure discipline at this point?

I hate to sound like a broken record but as much as I love zen, it's performance is a deep issue on my laptop. My laptop isn't weak (16GB ram, etc) but a single tab takes twice as long compared to base chrome or helium. I love Boosts and want to use them but don't wanna sacrifice performance :[

Hey all! I've been looking to get a pair of On shoes (I passed up a chance to buy them a few months ago and regret it badly as they've been on my mind since)… but I don't know what's the right pair for me. I'm going to be using mine for my university/college commute every day, and ideally I want them to have a good level of comfort without making me trip on my feet too much (I own a pair of shoes with a LOT of cushion and I tend to drag my feet/trip myself up exclusively with those)

I've seen the Cloud 6s, the Cloudtilts and the Cloudnova 2, can y'all try and help me find my ideal pair?

EDIT: I forgot to add this, but I've heard that these shoes have less than great durability, and I wanted to see what your opinion is regarding that!
