That's interesting. I don't have that issue. The height locks but the depth and width adjustments do not. I find that the force required to adjust the depth or width is sufficient enough that adjustments aren't made erroneous

I purchased a lightly used Steelcase Gesture a few months ago. I had been using an Ikea Markus. It relieved all pain and discomfort I was feeling. I should have made the purchase sooner.

My employer can fire me for severe misconduct that occurs away from the office. Is that any different? Isn't this normal at most companies?

Yea I understand what you are saying. I think it's hard in our current environment to understand trade offs because there isn't a lot of truth or trust in journalism or corporate propaganda. It's impossible to make a value de

I don't understand this critique. Corporate PR is largely propaganda. Our corporatist media isn't willing or able pursue actual journalism to find out the truth, so now we have lot's of people searching for answers on a forum

After reading the NYT article and browsing their website - they seem to be mainly concerned with getting the company to bend to various social justice causes and getting the company to adopt politically motivated strategy changes. So I&#x27

The guide briefly mentions Unraid, which I'm glad to see. But I understand it doesn't fit the criteria since it's not free. IMO it's worth every penny for those of us who want an experience without a lot of this sysadmin

The point I made was regarding electricity usage in california from 1975 until now and how that comparison to the rest of the country isn't valid because it's a bias measure. In 1975 everyone who wanted climate control didn't

I'm not talking about the weather changing. I'm talking about the growth of climate control using electricity in states that aren't California has led to continued energy demands. Honestly your reply is frustrating because yo

Consider that are dealing with a bias metric. California's weather makes it the least energy intensive state. In 1975 about 50% of the homes in my state had air-conditioning. Now its about 95%. Similar story with heating modern systems

For anyone convinced in this mask pseudoscience, here is extensive scientific literature over decades that establishes that wearing surgical masks, respirators and cotton masks do not reduce the risk of contracting verified illnesses. http

In most states the manufacturer must be given reasonable opportunity to fix the problem. For how drastic the roof falling off is, I don't think lemon laws grant consumers the ability to just turn in a defected car.

I'm assuming by right to vote you mean congressional representation. Since certainly residents of DC do vote for president, among other leaders. Of course congressional representation for DC is a political issue. Framing this as an iss

What you are suggesting IS happening. Companies ARE investing in increasing American production of n95 masks in America. This was even reported by the wall street journal. There are signs we are reaching the end of this pandemic. We've

To be blunt, that perspective is misguided and unrealistic. I assume these contracts allowed for a partial termination, this isn't uncommon. There is no indication these were broken unlawfully. In the case with Phillips, they already

What do you expect the US government to do in this situation? The ventilators are not needed. The US Strategic National Stockpile does not need more ventilators. Theses weren't "tricks". These contracts were poorly negotiated

You are making a logical fallacy and I don't think it's worth my time to actually attempt to discuss this with you.

To be fair, how is that even remotely true? Look at the wealth, convenience, leisure and abundance all around you. Even people with lower income experience high standards of living. The system we have now is not without fault, but it has do

I interpreted the comment I replied to suggest that masks remove a lot of the risks by itself. Is that not a fair reading of that comment? The data I've seen suggests that being outdoor reduces risks, I have not need any data or studie

by crisdux 6y ago
Masks are NOT a fool proof solution. Why do people think mask wearing removes all risk? Masks are just one component. Packed crowds in 90 degree heat with yelling and plenty of physical contact are just as worthy of scrutiny. Now for my gen

This post is precisely the issue. The risk for everyone is not 1 in 200. That's what makes this complicated. I'm really struggling with this. How can we reverse all the fear that has damaged our society and given people a sense th

What are the limits on immigration you are talking about? As far as my research shows, the paths for highly educated immigrants through h1b visa, f1 visa, opt training programs and green cards is largely unchanged and have been constant or

This is so melodramatic. The vast majority of our interactions with the world are institutionalized to a point where one president can't unhinge them. The things the current admin changed were on flimsy standing to begin with. An under

It's way more complex than that. This is completely between the Saudi's and Russians. US shale is just a unintended consequence (tho temporarily good for them.) Damage to US shale is unintended and the Saudi's know it will be

The Euro doesn't look great either. The EU's sovereign debt crisis gets worse every year. The economic growth of the region is predicted to lag the US. A rising banking crisis is being swept under the rug. An aging population. The
