I’m sitting on an Aeron at work, it’s good, but I can’t in good conscience pay that much for a chair. I was recently on the market for a new office chair and extensively researched it. It really looks like it’s a hit or miss with every chair in every price range, and I was very seriously considering replacing my Hyken with another Hyken. I decided to go with the IKEA Markus and have been sitting on it for about a month. I’m only moderately happy with it, may even return it before the year is up although I’d hate doing it.

That is almost certainly Staples Hyken. Comfortable chair but cheaply made, mine started disintigrating in a couple of years.

It’s not me who didn’t use a tool, it was the other guy.

Only because we are used to it.

I just had to coordinate an online meeting with some guy at a company, I had no idea where he’s based but he suggested time slots in EST (I’m in Toronto). I asked him twice if he’s sure, thinking he may be based outside of North America and doesn’t know that Toronto currently follows EDT which is GMT-4h, and he just responded “Eastern Standard Time”.

And of course he actually meant EDT. Turns out he is based in North America, just dumb.

Fuck timezones, but more than that fuck daylight saving time. You want an extra hour of sunshine after work in summer? Shift the work schedule, not the fucking clock!

It’s exaggerated but yes, this map really reminds me of many large Chinese cities. It’s probably true every major city has a People’s Square. I think the map is based on Beijing.

吃鸡 literally means “eat chicken” but it’s just an expression and here it refers to gaming. Like “eat crow” is an English idiom that makes no sense if translated literally to other languages.
