I like my steelcase think. The adjustable arms are optional, and critical

It’s way better than my chair at work, maybe I’ll bring it in after all this is over

my workchair was some hammond thing thats long been discontinued and no longer exists and ive spent months it in with zero fatigue

the criterion looks kinda similar

did you try disconnecting it from the ring of feet or whatever

or sometimes all that attaches to the underside of the chair directly, above the hydraulic cylinder thingie

or if not you could go rent a truck from home depot for $20

baker released plans for "reopening" massachusetts. an awful lot is staying the same, some of it is ok, some of it is very dumb. like hair salons and barbers can reopen. the guidelines for doing so are basically use hospital levels of PPE and change out everything between customers...but loving lol if anyone's gonna actually do that 100%.

the bulk of the country seems to be moving towards ill-advised premature and sloppy reopening so yeah, i'm still staying holed up and letting my hair grow out a while longer (i'd buzz cut it or something right now but i've never let it grow before so hey let's experiment! results so far: this sucks lol)

you don’t need a lockdown for 18 months, you need a very good lockdown for like six weeks and use that time to produce ppe, contact tracing, quarantine procedures, etc. then let people out with social distancing guidelines. you can burn the virus out.

the US ofc has done the worst possible thing which is to half rear end every step of that

Rather than doing poo poo a huge and successful effort has been made to convince everyone that there is no need for poo poo to be done, so we're back where we were before except people aren't even scared or taking precautions this time.
