I mean it makes sense that standing can cause other problems but still beats sitting though the fundamental problem is people not being active enough.

Sad news to hear. I really like Horgan - very honest, decent guy who restored the NDP.

I found with standing it made my core stronger. But you plateau cause ultimately standing can only do so much.

^ Isn't the solution quite simple? Don't sit for all 8 hrs, don't stand for all 8 hrs ... mix it up.

Do you really need PhD research on this? WTH happened to people's common sense?

We're not supposed to be sitting all day either.. can never win. LOL

i get enough sitting down doing marathons of TV binge watching so i'm sure i'll balance out.

Is lying down ok? I do that really well.

celebrated another year with this lady tonight.

Um... RS new business idea?

We just need some kind of rig to hold your monitor over your head, and some kind of vertical keyboard and mouse stand right?

How hard could that be!

i gotta convince my wife to allow me to get this i guess

One of those popped up on the Vancouver Craigslist about 6 months into COVID.

My wife said no. Also work wouldn't reimburse me for "office equipment" unless I had actual receipts.

what in the scorpion king is that supposed to be/do?!

nothing
just comfy sitting with good leg rest and over hanging monitors...

Maybe it rotates? There's no harness but if it spun you like a Sonic Hedgehog the centripetal force would keep you pinned into your seat.

Can someone buy one? For science?

The tip of it extends down past the monitors, into an automatic fleshlight for your cock.

Would not suggest the craigslist used version tho......

Today is Starbucks' Red Cup Day. Nothing really special. I stopped doing this because for the longest time, the cups were basically just red and pretty boring. This year the design is a bit better. I have a grand total of three different ones in my collection (yes, I collect things). The 50th Anniversary one and some other ribbony one and this year's.

They're reusable plastic cups and free with purchase. I went at 5:00 am. Usually gone by about 10:00 am. FOMO, lol.

I went there and maybe five people in the line up. No big deal, right? BCAA truck is in the parking lot. Driver comes out and picks up about 8 drinks. The counter is full of mobile orders. I'm thinking they'll be gone by 8:00 am.

Oh, I never buy coffee from Starbucks, but I always order ice fraps when I do. I was about to order one when a little old lady ordered and got her coffee. I let her know about the free red cup. That's when I found out from the manager that the red cups are only given out for Holiday drink orders.

You get your coffee in a festive looking paper cup and the collectible red cup is given out separately. I got my Caramel Brulé and it's not half bad.................... expensive as all hell, though. I used one of my many gift cards I've gotten from people over the past few decades, so not a biggie. The only other time I go is to purchase something one or two months before my birthday, so I can receive my birthday freebie (any drink or food item for free).

im back in town and the first thing I did was to NOT WORK and instead go out to the richmond crapple store and pickup a new mac mini.

My 5 year old intel system that I bought purposely for flight sim 2020 was getting a bit too noisy inside the office. so I opted for a silent setup now.

Having a completely integrated apple solution also makes a more or sense as I can literally do something on the phone, copy and paste it into the mac, or vice versa. Also I can pickup calls on it, facetime, etc etc.

It should be much more handy if I ever decide to actually work. I can still game a bit, of course not flight sim, but that's okay as I'm moving the gaming PC into the media room. This M4 chip is powerful enough that it can even sideload cyberpunk 2044 and get reasonable FPS.

Those new ones have excellent reviews, albeit I can’t stand apple computers after having a MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in the last decade. I’ve never been able to get used to their OS even being a iPhone user for almost 20 years

it takes a bit to get used to, but I find it quite good vs Windows nowadays.

Bloatware is easy to remove, the widgets are better. The system performance is quite snappy. Only downside is how it handles DPI scaling settings. I want my 4k desktop, but I want the icons to scale to something visible. Apple still doesn't do this as well as windows. So now I'm forced to run at a lower resolution just so my old ass eyes can see all the tiny excel icons.

oooo the algorithm knows what daddy likey. how did it find my SAD, DISPLACED, BIMBO UKRAINIAN / Russian chicks pictures

You're just the kind of people to snicker at this name.

linus tech tips had a blow out sales of their wearhouse and someone picked it up.

i'm not good with tech, is that 49 ultra wide... i really to consider but the fact I can't share screen without being able to punt off to one monitor was tough sell for me. despite I'm using 2 34 ultrawide; i think i just need another monitor.

yes it is. its this one above.

I used it for flight simulator and its pretty epic. Also great for FPS games as it really boosts emersion.

also good for productivity as you can drag 2 excel sheets next to each other and you don't have that ugly bezel to deal with.

wife's reaction when I bought it.

Said it was an eye sore on the desk

im just setting up a new desk in one of my rooms and also planning to buy the mac mini.
since they switched away from intel chips, is having windows on it as well not as good as it used to be? i'd only use windows when i have to bring my work home with me which is once in a blue moon.

i havent had a desktop in ages. i've been using a 12" surface and 14" laptop for over a decade at home, so it should be quite nice. at work i use dual 24" monitors but i just want a more minimal setup at home.
