My setup is similar. I've wall-mounted my screen and a keyboard shelf at standing height, then I pull up a tall drafting chair when I want to sit. When it takes only a couple of seconds to switch between sitting and standing, you don&#

It's oversimplifying to say he avoids them because they're not his core competency; he avoids them because valuing them is not anybody's core competency. Their value comes from products that are too lacking in historical cont

“What's wrong with your lawmakers down there?” We also have a significant number of completely uncontrolled intersections in dense, urban neighborhoods. No lights, no signs, nothing other than “please drive slowly with caution.” So it&

It could be that a few savvy people always want a reservation or two on deck. They queue up reservations, say one table per week for two months. When that week comes up, if they don't want the table they cancel it. If they do end up ha
