Subject: Every Day Carry

I  was reading kvothe's latest post [1] in which he provides a list
of the items he carries every day.  I also find this topic very in-
teresting, so I'll share my list:

     *  A super-slim leather wallet.  It just holds some cards
     and acts as a billfold.

     * My Nexus 5X.  Key apps  include  Termux,  Tusky,  Turbo
     SFTP, PIA VPN, DuckDuckGo, Reddit, Bandcamp, Audible...

     *  My keys.  Just keys, no tools or trinkets.  Well, I do
     have a bikeshare fob.

To be honest, that's the core of it.  If I'm  feeling  adventurous,
I'll  bring  my  SOG  Aegis Mini folding knife.  I mostly use it to
open packages.  I also lug  a  Timbuk2  messenger  bag  around.   I
didn't  have  a  car for about 7 years, so this is where I keep all
the things that most people leave in their car.  Key  contents  in-
clude:

     * An umbrella.
     * My work laptop.
     * Some almonds.
     * A spare phone charger.
     * A couple Bic G2s.
     * A tub of Carmex lip balm.

I  also  saw  a  couple things on kvothe's list that I just have to
comment on.

     * Fiio X1.  I also have a Fiio DAP and really  enjoy  it!
     Most  of  my  music  collection is ripped from CDs that I
     purchased.

     * Shure SE215.  I also have and  love  these  headphones!
     They  keep noise out and the response curve is rolled-off
     on the top so they don't irritate me after listening  for
     a  while.   In my opinion, they are the best IEMs you can
     get for $100.

     * Pok3r mechanical keyboard.  I love plugging my 60% into
     my  phone.   It's  surprisingly easy to use my phone as a
     laptop substitute with a keyboard attached.  My Anker USB
     A to C cable was a great investment.
