I second the desk chair as a fat crippled IT worker that spends 10+ hours a day in a desk chair. I used to get a new $500ish chair every 3 or so years when it fell apart. This last time I saved up and dropped about 2.5k on a really nice chair rated for 24/7 use by someone much heavier than I am and it’s a life changer for my back, and this thing should last a lot longer
Yeah, the brand I went with was concept seating. I’m about 6’7” around 400 pounds - fat gut, big bones, decent amount of muscle - was a lineman before I got crippled. I am 100% a fatass, no excuse, but also big in other dimensions as well. Most chairs, even the big and tall ones from staples and the like, will get a bit of a gangster lean after a year or so of use as the chairs base plate slowly warps and tack welds come loose. You can grind it down and patch up the welds, but not much to be done about the plate warp. The concept seating chair I got has a massively thick base plate that seems like it will hold up to a lot more. One other thing I really like about the one I got is that it doesn’t have the most common failure point, the piston. Instead it has a fuck off huge solid threaded shaft that you use to screw the chair to the right height then lock it with a massive lock washer. Additionally it doesn’t recline or move in any other way other than to spin and roll. You can loosen bolts to adjust the fit then tighten them back up, but nothing is easily adjustable with levers and stuff which I love because those are just failure points and I’d much rather spend the time to set it up once Ave never worry about it again

I ran an Apple TV in the living room for a long time to access my Plex server and whatever subscription my wife has this month. As time went on it got more and more glitchy until it came to the point where I had to power cycle the thing every few days. Replaced it with a cheap fire stick, annoyed the crap out of me. Replaced that with a cheap Roku, it was only slightly better than the shitty firestick.
My wife got me the NVIDIA shield pro for Christmas this year, and I picked up the p2920 controller for it. My god this thing is awesome - not only is it the best tv box I’ve ever used, I can use moonlight to play games on my rig or GeForce now to stream games. I highly recommend this thing
Do you know why this happens? I don’t see that comment you quoted, I only see the reply to it as a root level comment. I’ve been noticing this all over the place, where a top level comment is clearly replying to something I cannot see.
I haven’t blocked anyone yet so it’s definitely not that but it’s like every thread send to be missing comments without even telling me it’s missing comments so I have to deduce it from the missing context. It’s infuriating. It’s making this platform very irritating to use

Electricity likes the path of least resistance to ground. If you are only touching with one hand, most likely the current well run down that side of your body to ground more or less. If both hands are touching it makes it more likely for the current to cross your heart which greatly increases the risk of death
I have a group of friends, half in same town as me, half on the other side of the country, that get together once a week ion discord and play dnd via a self hosted foundry virtual tabletop docker. We used to play 5e but we decided to try out pathfinder 2e to see if we liked it and we haven’t gone back, pathfinder is fantastic. The flexibility with the actions makes it feel like you always get a chance to do something and you aren’t just wasting your turn when you are getting into position or whatever. Feels close enough to 5e that most of your intuition will be pretty close, just use a different website to look shit up. Highly recommend pathfinder!
Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did’nt.

My source is I rode a bike for over a decade and several times had folks drifting into my lane that corrected when I revved my engine and they heard me because they couldn’t see me. Likewise when lane splitting when I rode in California where that was legal at the time I noticed that if I rolled up in neutral folks would try to merge in front of each other jockeying for the closest spot and nearly slam into me, but if I opened the throttle a bit as I cruised down they could hear me and wouldn’t merge right into me.
My evidence is anecdotal as I rode for years, but never published a peer reviewed research paper on the subject. Take it for what you will. The main argument in that link you posted is that it’s harder to hear the motorcycle in today’s modern cars as they block a lot of noise out. Sure seems like if you had really loud pipes they might hear you anyway, thus proving my point with their own argument. But that’s just basic logic.
You intentionally ignored my point. I didn’t say I had overly loud pipes. I said folks were more likely to notice me when I gave it some revs while splitting/etc rather than just coasting. It’s easier to hear more noise than less noise, this is very basic. What’s also very basic is riding is a numbers game. Everything you do, you are tweeting to improve your odds of survival. So the upside of louder pipes is the possibility that more folks will hear you and notice you and possibly not run into you. That’s a big bonus. The downside is, well nothing as long as you pick ones that sound good to you. Yeah, some guy might have his windows up and his music blasting and not be able to hear you no matter how loud your pipes are. Ok? Who cares? I’m still improving my odds by getting a larger chunk of drivers to notice/hear me. Just because I can’t get 100% conversion doesn’t mean I super just give up entirely
