However over time you notice some things. First, it doesn’t let you sit incorrectly (like with your leg folded under your butt). Second, you can sit in in for hours (covid work from home situation) and be perfectly fine. Third, after 3+ years of ownership, it’s immaculate.

This right here. People expect to sit in an expensive chair and get a soft, plush, “comfortable” feeling. No, that’s not what a quality chair is for. A quality chair’s purpose is to let you be 40 years old, sit in it for an 8 hour workday, and get up at the end of the day with zero back pain (at least, none from sitting in the chair).

I forget how uncomfortable chairs can be until I travel for work and have to sit in something else for a whole day.

I spent $300 and $400 for my two used ones.

A true quality office chair, like the Herman Miller Aeron, and not one of those awful “racing chair” game streamer pieces of junk.

Doesn’t even have to be brand new. I bought both of my Aerons used, and I think their manufacture dates are like 2008 and 2013. I’ve had them for many years, sat in the 2008 one every workday for the past 10 years, and it might as well still be new. I see no reason that I won’t sit in it for the next 10 years. I could have gone through a bunch of crappy Office Depot chairs in that span.

At what age do you tell boomer parents the truth about Christmas? That their daughter who moved away to the “bIg CiTy” so she could get an “eDuCaTiOn” and pursue a “CaReEr” and “dRiNk LaTtEs” is actually happy there, is not going to come home from Christmas, fall in love with the blue collar boy who never left town, and magically discover the rural housewife life is what she actually wanted all along?

I need to start dropping in during the gameday threads.

There’s a reason it’s called “bodybuilding” and not “brainbuilding”.

At some point it will be too obvious. Instead of making it too big, have it scale back down, then back up, etc.

I like to bind. I like to be bound.

If the cop is a cute girl, then it becomes context-dependent.

101 combined yards and 1 TD. Not bad.

“Faith-based” politics in a nutshell.

Kittle returned to practice today (Wednesday), which is a good sign for his week 1 availability.

The RB rotation is stronger now with a healthy (for now) Elijah Mitchell, plus Mason and TDP in better position to operate in this iteration of the offense. Rotation has long been Shanny’s preference, so it’s no surprise they’re leaning more in that direction w1ith the rest of the RB room more ready to produce.

$34m/year annual average. That’s a big jump over Aaron Donald’s $31.67m/year. No discounts on offer here.

No wonder the negotiations took so long, that was probably a brutal deal to structure and make work with the team’s 2024 cap. Looking forward to the contract details.

Pickup owners shit on the Honda Ridgeline and call it “not a truck”, meanwhile their big manly Rams and F-250s live their lives in pure “mall crawler” mode.

The Ridgeline just quietly outlasts all those trucks and does all the furniture hauling and jetski towing that a homeowner needs. And the in-bed trunk (with drain plug!) is a tailgating champ.

A cheap hot tub in the living room.

The Omega Man (1971) is exciting and misses the point even further.

Appropriate, as the star of that movie usually did too.

By buy bye

N’SYNC intensifies

I think one of the things people need to understand is that the cap obligations the Niners have make a deal like this complicated. It’s not just a question of total money, but also when Bosa gets that money, and how the Niners make cap room to make that happen. The deal might require coordinating contract restructures with other players to make space in certain years, so the team is also having to figure out what they can do there too. This will probably be the most complicated contract the Niners have ever negotiated. Good job on both sides for keeping it from getting contentious even though it’s taken so long.

It’s pretty much inevitable that people will cluster on a few larger, proven services.

Look at email. For most people, email is Gmail, or one of another small handful of giant services. But you can still get email from smaller providers, or run your own, and play ball with everyone else.
