Ditto for the screwdriver.Īs for the first part of your comment, I agree completely. It's a backpack that is literally made to his exact wants and specifications that he can then get his massive fan base to purchase and pay off the investment (and make profit on top of after). the dude has no fucking sense of aesthetics lets be real.
The abundance of pockets is because that's how he mostly uses his bags on the go. The reason it's so overengineered is because it literally has every fault that Linus has ever slightly experienced with a backpack designed out of it in the most thorough way possible. Seriously, that's half the point of them - he wanted something that suits him exactly, and if other people then want to go and buy it, excellent. Really though, and I've said this before, but both the screwdriver and the backpack are first and foremost designed for Linus. If anything, something being overengineered lends it to being expensive from an R&D perspective. I would also note that the backpack being overengineered (of which I would agree) and being ugly as sin (again, concur - dear god people if you're going to spend that money on a backpack just go buy a Peak) - they're not really arguments for anything you said. As for whether you should believe them or not, it's entirely up to you - the same as every other time you choose to believe things or not. The only reason I know any of this is because I follow Luke and watch the WAN show because of that, and occasionally browse the reddit - I don't blame anyone for not having that knowledge because they make it as hard as possible to find. The answer is yes, they've extensively talked about it, unfortunately it's almost entirely buried in years' worth of WAN shows, LTT vids, and Twitter posts.
A complete list of Pauling’s accolades could, and has, filled several books, but I can’t resist mentioning, in closing, that geek ubermensch Linus Torvalds is reportedly named after him.That last part is aimed at me so I will definitely answer to the best of what I can. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for his instrumental role in scientific activism to end above-ground nuclear weapons testing. And his 1947 General Chemistry, available in its classic 3rd edition through Dover Publications for a song, remains one of the best-written and most readable introductions to the subject. One of four human beings ever to have been awarded multiple Nobel Prizes, and the only one ever to have won both the Nobel Prize for Chemistry (1954) and the Nobel Peace Prize (1962), Pauling’s 1939 Nature of the Chemical Bond remains one of the most influential chemistry texts ever published. And we’d all be better off he were still with us since, by all accounts, even a doddering Pauling could’ve run rings around most folks intellectually. Yesterday, February 28, 2010, Linus Carl Pauling would’ve been 109 years old. Showcasing amazing maker projects of 2022 Gift the gift of Make: Magazine this holiday season!
