Is it just me, or did the orb leader sound like Jeffrey Combs?

I managed to get a Steelcase chair off Craigslist for a great price and it has changed my home office life. I could sit in that chair 24/7 and still be comfortable. And they replaced a broken part for free even though I wasn’t the original buyer.

Thanks for that thread. I’ve never heard of a Bird-Jones design before so it was super interesting.

Yeah lockdown was living my best life. At least I managed to get a fully remote job with a small company several states away.

I definitely see where you’re coming from. At the same time I don’t tend to get involved in deep discussions where I have strong feelings, on the Internet. I save those for in-person with friends.

I guess I am just very sensitive to tone and (what comes across to me as) arrogant people, and I have downvoted obnoxious comments on all sides of an argument before. I try to be aware of my bias, but nobody’s perfect.

Of course YMMV, but I find blocking people like that (especially on Discord) make my Internet experience much more pleasant.

I tend to downvote obnoxious comments, or ones that it’s clear the commenter is in love with the ‘sound’ of their own voice. I tend to leave the ‘carefully considered’ ones alone because they add to the conversation unless they stray too far into the above categories.

Yep, I backed the Kickstarter and hang out in their Discord. Wasn’t sure on the rules about promoting stuff like that so I didn’t mention it. :-)

Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters

Always loved me some Mara Jade and Talon Karrde.

I’m a lurker. Vegetarian myself but my wife is vegan.

Yep, I have no idea how people are able to afford stuff like that! Some of our friends have these crazy hobbies and go out to eat all the time, multiple cruises a year, etc. Meanwhile a ‘date night’ for us is Chipotle and DVDs of whatever show we are watching that we borrowed from the Library. That is the only way we can afford our modest one side of a duplex. And I feel like I make ok money but I guess everyone we know just makes so much more, or we are just very strict with our budgeting and credit usage.

I charge by Bluetooth headphones ‘pod’ with my Steam Deck charger and it seems to be ok.
