  • Random other info:

    • a headrest is unnecessary for the purposes of sitting correctly in an office chair. Headrests tend to put your cervical spine into slight extension if you’re sitting straight up.
    • one thing you can’t see from this angle is your shoulder abduction angle. Most office chairs are quite wide, so trying to use the armrests while you type can put an unnecessary amount of strain on your wrists. Ideal positioning for your elbows is directly below your shoulders, like where they would rest if you were standing up. Better for your shoulders and wrists.
    • if you’re looking for a good ergo chair, I always recommend a used/refurbished higher end chair rather than a cheaper new chair. The higher end chairs (Steelcase, Humanscale, Herman Miller, Autonomous, etc) typically have replaceable parts and sometimes will still have a manufacturer’s warranty depending on where you buy it.

    I’m a kinesiologist who has done a lot of office ergo work.




  • Looks like this is pretty unanimously solved. Bit of backstory (not that you asked)- neighbor got got 2 kittens in May/June for his daughter. They’re freaking adorable so whenever they wandered over to our house, we gave them lots of attention. They had been spending more and more time camped out on our porch furniture in the past month and then I found this just today. I’m going to talk to the guy and see what’s up. I’m concerned they are only interested in animals while they’re small and cute because last year they had a young dog that’s no longer there, this is the second pair of kittens they’ve had this year (one of the first pair I still see sulking around at night, but I’m pretty sure it’s feral now. No idea what happened to number 2), and now they have a new puppy again.

    Thanks all!





  • Like others have said. Hard to pick one.

    I had an Age of Empires demo disk that I played through dozens of times before actually receiving the full game.

    Crash Bandicoot for PS1 on Christmas day at 7 years old is definitely a core memory.

    But more recently I’ve really enjoyed games that have a good blend of story/gameplay or that really nail a theme. Subnautica was an awesome experience to play (dark room and good headphones are recommended for the first time playing through), Portal 2 because it was so unique (I played #2 before #1).
