Looking for and ergonomic office chair
Posted by boxcarbarney on 10/14/26 at 3:35 pm
If I'm not at a job site, I'm at my desk 8+ hours a day. My current chair just isn't cutting it.
I looked around, and this seems to be a highly recommended chair at a good price point
HBADA E3 Pro Ergonomic Office Chair
I'd like to keep the price below $500, if possible. I'm going to get the boss to pay for it, and if I present him with a $2000 chair, he'll laugh me out of his office.

Thanks.
there's a whole chapter on posture. But correcting it is basically don't slouch, keep good posture on neck, and buy their branded Lumbar Roll. It doesn't go much deeper than that in this book.
As far as the exercises, the book suggests only doing Exercise 1 (Head Retraction) and Exercise 2 (Neck Extension)
According to the book, once pain has subsided, I am supposed to do Exercise 6 (Neck Rotation) and Exercise 7 (Neck Flexion) followed by Exercises 1 and 2.

re: Did Blockbuster/Hollywood Video et al purposefully limit new releases….
Posted by boxcarbarney on 10/14/26 at 1:37 pm to idlewatcher
I used to manage a Blockbuster. There's only so much wall space, and there are a lot of customers to serve.
For example, when Titanic came out on video, we dedicated two whole bookcases worth of wall space to it. It was rented out almost immediately. And the moment one was returned it would immediately be rented out again.
If we could have dedicated a whole wall to one movie, we would have - mainly to stop hearing the shite head customers complain about not being able to rent the most popular movie in the world the day it came out.
Also, realize that Blockbuster was purchasing these movies. Once the fervor died down it was a matter of what to do with all that stock that people are no longer renting. We'd sell a bunch as used tapes, but a lot of them got sent back to the main warehouse after a few months.
I don't think they were intentionally shorting the amount of tapes they had. Because back then people were going to rent a movie that night no matter what was available, because that's what people did on Friday and Saturday nights in the 90s.

Ok, so I got the book, and i started the exercises this morning, and I'm not gonna lie, this shite is helping.
I had a monster headache this morning. I started doing the exercises 1 and 2 at 9 am, and did the next set at 11am (doing this every 2 hours like the book suggests), and I can already feel the pain starting to centralize like the book said should happen.
I've been paying attention to my posture since I sit at a desk 8+ house a day too.
While normally I have pain in my right rhomboid and upper trap and the right side of my neck, which causes a headache that feels like sinus pain, right now i just have a dull ache on both sides of my neck, and both traps just feel tired and a little achy. And the headache has lessened in intensity and has moved towards my forehead.
You may not owe me a mortgage payment after all.

Other than the normal stuff like deadlifts and farmer's walks, I use a wrist roller. It has done wonders for my golfer's elbow.

Love this show.
The wife (no pics) and I watch it, and will watch the replays when they're on TV.
I always joke with her that the show has zero tension to it. Every problem gets resolved almost immediately.
"Oscar was swindled out of the family fortune, and now we must sell the house"
"OH NO!!"
**30 minutes later**
"It's ok, Uncle Luke was a secret textile millionaire, and now we're rich again!
"Hooray!!!"

re: Who is using this parking lot by the airport?
Posted by boxcarbarney on 10/13/26 at 2:52 pm to NatalbanyTigerFan
That was where the offices were set up for the Joint Venture when they were constructing the new terminal.
Work is still ongoing at the airport, so I assume the people you saw were contractors and subs.

I could never get into this show. I'd catch an episode here than there, but I always found Kevin to be extremely unlikeable. He deserved every bit of bullying his older brother gave him.
