  • You said there’s no point. I contend there is a point.

    The point is to make it slightly less convenient to steal from. This is the purpose of literally all locks. There are no locks that can’t be picked or bypassed. I don’t care if it’s my underwear, pants, shirts, shoes, whatever. They’re mine and I packed them because I want to use them. I’d prefer they’re not stolen, and some of my clothes are valuable, or at least I don’t want to spend the money to replace them.

    Maybe someone’s just having a shit day and wants to fuck with luggage to be obnoxious. I’d rather it not be mine, and a lock makes my bag slightly more annoying to fuck with.

    Agreed that a lost bag is much more likely than theft. I have an AirTag in my bag to help with that scenario.







  • I think this is a fine strategy for maintaining your weight. However, temporary periods of caloric restriction or surplus is a good strategy for losing or gaining weight. Going on a 500kcal deficit to lose a pound a week is pretty reasonable. Pretty easy to adjust from your maintenance diet by just eliminating a few snacks, cutting down carb portions, or switching some things to low fat versions.
