@f0x it's not duplicate, it's 'recyclable'
@maya (Then it'll be an Artisanal GMO-free Wellness Improvement)
@maya Might also be worth looking for a solution where you can genuinely keep your feet up while sitting! Apparently that's actually a pretty good thing when sitting behind a desk a lot, though I haven't read up on this very much.
ph
@maya Ah yeah, if it's leaned back, then the 'raised edge' of the seat can be constricting blood flow in your legs, and lead to numbing - so that's definitely a real possibility. Chairs with extremely sink-in-y pillows tend to have the same problem!
ph
@maya Oh yeah I almost forgot, it sounds like you might have blood circulation issues - you might be able to get significant improvements simply by alternating between hot and cold during showers, even just in the last minute or so (and this doesn't necessarily need to be uncomfortable!), as that helps blood circulation going.
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev what.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev beginner-friendly
@maya My advice would be:
1) Try them out *in person*, and if possible, try them out for a full day (though I realize that especially for cheaper options this is hard to do)
2) If you need to spend a lot of time behind a desk, get two different chairs that put you in different postures, and alternate between them. I've found that this helps a lot. You might want one of them to be a stool instead.
3) The best semi-affordable widely-available option that works for a lot of people that I'm aware of is the IKEA MARKUS. But try it first!
4) Second-hand 'commercial' office chairs can also be a good option. The Comforto 77 is a good option that works for a lot of people.
5) A separate backrest (ie. not continuously attached to the seat) often helps to keep a good posture.
6) No matter how good the chair, sitting for hours on end is always bad for your body. Take regular breaks - use something like Workrave to enforce it, if necessary. I've also found brief equipment-less core exercises to work very well for keeping my posture healthy.
IKEA used to have a *very* cheap and *very* good (if slightly uncomfortable) plasticky desk chair, the ALRIK, but unfortunately it's no longer available :( You might be able to find it second-hand, though!

I had a dream about an Internet forum game where you had to post something worse than what the above poster said. If you couldn't think of something worse you replied with an image that said '100 Parking Spaces'.
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @pleb@hunk.city Hmm, I was assuming from your description that you want to retain messages until they have been consumed by all expected consumers, so that nobody misses any. If so, you'd definitely need something more specific than just any pub/sub queue. Not sure whether Kafka can do this though.
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @pleb@hunk.city Or replicated/mirrored queue or something
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @pleb@hunk.city Something something multi-consumer queue?
@gsuberland@chaos.social Heh. Thanks :)
@thufie Surely a "🚫 stallman" emoji would be acceptable

this town isn't big enough for the both of us so it looks like we should build more housing and get rid of some restrictive low-density zoning

hey buddy look it's like they say: if you can't handle the heat then just let us know ok and we'll open a window or something because it's really important to us that you feel safe and comfortable in the kitchen ♥️
