>You're making a lot of assumptions about me there bud

Ironic, look at the pot calling the kettle black.

>I go at 5:00am.

Congratulations?

>There's no one there to annoy me. But, if I'm meeting folks for a game in the evening I sometimes see folks on the weights. The only giant jugs I see are not politely stashed out of the way.

Wow, so based off of your experience, you decide to judge everybody else all in the same, because a couple people “ruined” it for you?

>I'm sorry I phrased my sentence as a personal attack on you. But, rest assured, I didn't downvote you.

I don’t think this little “debate” would have ensued in the first place, if you perhaps, didn’t phrase phrase your “sentence” as a personal attack? You can’t punch somebody in the face for no reason, then just say “I’m sorry”

>superfluous

🤣

Take it easy man

>Well a traditional soft plastic gallon jug isn't super great for you, it will leech phthalates into your water.

I did a little googling, and the gallon of container that I use to store my water is BPA free, meaning, it does not leach harmful chemicals into the water like BPA plastics do.

> ...passive-aggressive...

You're making a lot of assumptions about me there bud. I go at 5:00am. There's no one there to annoy me. But, if I'm meeting folks for a game in the evening I sometimes see folks on the weights. The only giant jugs I see are not politely stashed out of the way.

> ...Stay salty...

I'm sorry I phrased my sentence as a personal attack on you. But, rest assured, I didn't downvote you.

> ...for a bag that can fit all of my things...

Perhaps you'd have an easier time finding a backpack that will fulfill your needs if you didn't bring so much superfluous stuff with you every day. You certainly don't need a gallon water jug.

Bar Keepers Friend and a (clean) toilet brush

I do not place my “stuff” unattended, and if I’m not near a machine, and we’re talking in context of the gym, chances are I’m not using it.

Why don’t you, instead of being passive-aggressive, and overtly annoyed, speak up to whoever may be occupying the machine that you want to use.

If you see someones “stuff” lying around on it, use your eyes, look around, and use your lips. Explain your concern and move on, like I understand, it’s obnoxious to hog a machine, I get it.

I go to the gym in the morning before work, you think I like when I need to use a machine, and I see someone’s stuff and no body is around, that aggravates me to, but this is not a topic about that, this is a topic about me getting a nice recommendation for a bag that can fit all of my things in the form of a backpack instead of a duffel bag. it’s quite annoying carrying around a duffle as opposed to carrying a backpack

Edit: Stay salty with your downvote bud 👍🏻

I fill my pot with hot water and drop a dishwasher pod in it, rinse it out at the end of the day, 1 swipe with a brush or sponge and that stuff comes off.

I'm super happy with Osprey. They have a no questions asked lifetime warranty.

Nah it’s not, I’ll stick to my source of water

I find it amusing how triggered you are over a container of water, take it easy man, life is good

My apologies, how could have I forgotten the most important of the essentials, great hygiene opens doors.

I edited the post, thanks for the heads up

The one I use now.

Mercer Culinary M20707 Genesis 7-Inch Santoku Knife

I bought the rest and tested them but this knife just fits my hand so well and is just an amazing chef knife. It's the perfect example of how hype isn't always better.

I’ve had a large size under armour gym bag for like 6 years now, still going strong. It’s just a plain black and white one.

I don't participate in those activities, if I happen to be occupying a machine, I'm using it until im finished with my sets. If I'm done with my sets, then I'm not going to be occupying the machine anymore, and I'm on to my next exercise.

I just carry it around with me, because it is the better alternative than carrying around 7 individual water bottles

> What’s hindering your workout?

I've only ever seen them on machines to claim them, usually at inconvenient times.

Yeah, I've only ever seen them deliberately in the way.

When I was a barista we used cafiza as well, and I use it to clean my coffee machine now. Soak fin hot cafiza water for 20 minutes and then rinse it off and it's clean as new

This is what I use too - works great.

Dezcal will clean better than anything. Comes in single use packets for under $10.

The best BIFL purchase in this area is a sharpening steel. Very low effort to keep any knife sharp.

Ok, there’s various price points for knives and some hold their edge better than others but every knife needs regular sharpening.

GORUCK duffel bag.
