I’m looking to buy a good ergonomic office chair with headrest. All the top 10s say to buy a Herman Miller / Steelcase / Humanscale for >£1000 or random cheap crap from Amazon. Any actually good brands ~£500? Any experiences with the expensive ones?
Code reviews are like reading a good book, except it’s a bad book and you’re only given 30 snippets in a random order. And sometimes the author explains themselves in the margin.

some evidence that we may be living in a simulation
- particles sometimes behave like waves
- quantum physics and classical physics use different engines
- photon rest mass is undefined
- all the electrons are just references to a single instance
- timer starts to lag at relativistic speeds
- 80% invisible matter added in order to make galaxies spin correctly
- space-time must keep expanding in order for the universe not to collapse, could cause problems later but works for now
Before I eBay it does anyone want my Ergodox EZ? Kailh Speed Silver linear switches, wing wrist rests, tilt/tent kit. Great condition, cleaned, original packaging & accessories.
£300 new, auctions for £200+, I’ll sell direct for ~£150
