      Looking for a cool (hip? do they still say hip?) small purse for my wife. What's the cool brands? Nothing super girly but nothing masculine either. Does that make sense?

      She's looking at this but it's a little…cheesy maybe? For $200 I feel like there's gotta be something a little better.

        @setandsetting – I know that people freak for Baggu (at least here in San Francisco) and that a lotta the trendy youth can be seen rocking its totes.

        Exhibit A of trendy youth who likes Baggu (my wife lol)

            @setandsetting I bought my wife this cross body from Damn Dog and it's her daily purse. They are designed in New Orleans and made in India. It's compact, fairly cheap, and made of thick canvas and leather. the zipper closure is a beast too.  After 3 years there's not a stitch out of place.

              What should I do with my first Swatch that no longer works?  I got it on the boardwalk in Ocean City when I was 11 in 1987.  I can’t get rid of it but should I wear a watch for strictly decorative purposes?

                  @Matt I'd rock a swatch watch if I had one laying around…

                    I have a couple that work and I wear them.  I have a clear one that works very well with my tattoos.    I’m just not sure what to do with this one.  It’s old school and is clearly a statement piece from its era, but functionally it’s garbage.

                      I would think you could replace the movement or have it repaired.

                        Alas Swatches we’re designed to be disposable.  They’re laser sealed and do not have any known servicing providers.

                            It's called Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome when it gets severe and it's a really common problem for people who spend hundreds or thousands of hours using vibrating equipment. Even barbers can develop tremors from using clippers.

                              @Filthy yeah keep an eye on that. I've done a little bit of hand arm vibration assessment work in the past where you strap a little accelerometer to the persons arm and calculate their exposure. It's not my fortay in the exciting world of acoustics, but there's a few measures which can help, namely:

                              • make sure tools are properly maintained (sharp blades etc.)
                              • take regular breaks and massage your hands to encourage blood flow
                              • limit the amount of time you spend using vibratory tools by breaking up work with other jobs
                              • do not overgrip the tool
                              • make sure you're warm and dry whilst working

                              You can cause permanent damage fairly easily so be careful!

                                    I’ve been doing some “hand-arm vibration assessment” since I was about 13.  I agree, never overgrip your tool.

                                        @Filthy sure it'll be fine mate, but maybe something to raise with the bossmen

                                          I'm the boss man. It happens when I am using my weed whacker, pole saw, and chainsaw. I'm not going to worry about it.
