I am tempted. I just wish that it was more acceptable outside of hipster communities for men to carry murses. Carrying stuff in my pockets is so inconvenient.
@sjk3 something I’ve pondered about since high school. It’s not so bad in the winter because my coats are loaded with pockets & I carry a ton of stuff that way. Summer comes & all I can carry is my wallet, keys, & phone. & my keys always give me a problem.
These are perfectly-sized for carrying a sock full of pennies, which is exactly what you’ll need to defend your honor after someone makes fun of you for being a metrosexual.
Only 2000 mAh battery? That’s pretty … meh. When I’m traveling, I carry an Anker 20,000 mAh battery. (Yeah, 20 amp hours. Kept me in phone video games and Kindle books all the way to Bangalore, 22 hours each way.)
Why does every bag have to have a power bank? I have multiple power bans already. I can put them in my bags without any issue. I don’t need another one and I don’t want to have to recharge my bag before I go out. Just sell me a nice bag at a lower price!
The sharper image is still in business? Checks Wikipedia. Oh venture capitalists scum operate it now. I see well, we all know how that goes. Deadspin forever.
man, i used to love messenger bags. i had probably half a dozen in regular rotation back in the day. (twenty years ago?) now i just use a totebag because it’s more versatile. but young student me would have bought this in a second. (wouldn’t know what the cables inside were for tho ;))
@jerk_nugget Tote bag like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tote_bag
Wouldn’t that tie up one of your hands? I like messenger bags when travelling because it’s easy to swing it around and grab something out of it. Also, mine is the perfect size for my MS Surface.
Similar to the FÖRENKLA from IKEA which did (and does) not include the powerbank. I have that one, thought, so have to pass but it’s a great little bag. The grey color is pretty sharp too.

Cross-body bags are lame. Cross body-bags? Now we’re taking.
@fuzzmanmatt Taking… lives?
@jsh139 I too think this when I see these.
@fuzzmanmatt @jsh139 It’s a murse!
@fuzzmanmatt @jsh139 @ybmuG-So, is a purse really a femurse?¿
@jsh139
Is it just me, or is today’s Meh button just a slightly meh-er version of the one from this past Friday?

@phendrick It’s not just you.
Too bad it isn’t ‘tactical’…
@daveinwarsh A couple of black sharpies could fix that.
@daveinwarsh @mehcuda67 and some well-placed Velcro
@daveinwarsh they’re out there
@daveinwarsh @mehcuda67 @ybmuG It doesn’t really need to be well placed.
What? No water bottle sleeve?

@sjk3 I’m not a hipster, but I often carry a bag - I have a lot of shit I need to carry - tablet, phone, notebook, pen, drugs (prescription).
My secret? I don’t give a fuck what other people think. I do what I gotta do.
@sjk3 @ThatsHeadly Hell yeah!
These are perfectly-sized for carrying a sock full of pennies, which is exactly what you’ll need to defend your honor after someone makes fun of you for being a metrosexual.
@ShotgunX I’m pretty sure my Glock 22 would fit in one of these…
$18 for a usb cable seems pretty expensive.
Sharper Image went bankrupt decades ago and doesn’t exist. Anyone can license the name. So who knows who really makes this.
@ellett GTK! Thanks!
@ellett this is not true
And Bargain Junkie declares that this shit is for men. Just sayin’.
@gertiestn
The original PS4 might squeeze into this… the slim for sure will.

@mikevp That is pretty low. Even my fairly low-end Moto g7 has a 3000 mAh battery.
@mikevp @ThunderChicken Yeah, 2000 mah is the life of a decent rechargeable AA battery. Not really enough to be “Meh”.
@mikevp @ThunderChicken @vlpronj But that AA has a nominal 1.2v, while Li-ion has 3.6v. This is like 3 AA eneloops worth of juice.
@mikevp @ThunderChicken @vlpronj That means you can completely charge your phone to around 70%
whats next? Members Only windbreakers?
@fastharrydotcom I would break wind.

It’s not a purse, It’s called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
I consider myself a bit of a bag junkie, but I am finding it very difficult to justify getting this.
Why does every bag have to have a power bank? I have multiple power bans already. I can put them in my bags without any issue. I don’t need another one and I don’t want to have to recharge my bag before I go out. Just sell me a nice bag at a lower price!

Hey, stop knocking Sharper Image! It was always a fun store to go into and wonder “Does anybody actually buy any of this stuff?”
I never did, but was still fun to window shop. I wonder why they closed…
@mrbillmc Because nobody ever bought this stuff?
looks European to me…
Gay or European

@Dengue no, it’s hands free because it goes over my shoulder. and i can reach around and grab things out or put them in
I would get this if I already didn’t have a man purse. I would probably try to take off the sharper image patch though, haha.
Using this bag will definitely give you a sharper image…
Similar to the FÖRENKLA from IKEA which did (and does) not include the powerbank. I have that one, thought, so have to pass but it’s a great little bag. The grey color is pretty sharp too.
