   Thanks for sharing. My kids are going through similar education, Saniku Gakuin twice a week after public school. While it's a bit intense in terms of homework and tough to balance with sports, but they find the work far less "mean

    +1 for the Herman-Miller Embody chair. Crazy expensive, but far cheaper than medical bills. Aeron and most other ergo chairs never worked for me (properly sized and all).

    I'm really hoping for a breakthrough within next few decades. I shredded the TFCC in my wrist to the point where I couldn't type because of the pain. Since that region is pretty much avascular, it couldn't be repaired. So the

    Yet still less insulting than those who conflate importance with urgency. Guess it comes down to the "competent adults" part; I've often found them to be few and far between at large companies.
