    This is my first day using it and I haven't felt like this in years. My back is fine. I mean, no pain anywhere, it's completely fine.

    Awesome! I have one as well and it's a nice option to raise it whenever I feel "hunched over" too long. I am also intrigued by those really slow walking treadmills you can get for under the desk, but I doubt I'll get one. And stretching, that is one thing I always say I'll do more of but never, ever do. Ugh.

    I often pair the things I don't want to do with the things I do, which for me has been really effective. So for stretching, that's when I burn through some podcasts; I save 'em up for that time so I have crap to listen to.

    One of the great thing about Mercedes is that they always look like a Mercedes.

    That doesn't. It's got the ubiquitous, boring style that pretty much all cars have.

    Fucking Germans.

    That looks like the worst text-adventure ever made.

    That's because it is, even if you use Firefox or Chrome.

    YOU ARE STANDING AT THE END OF A ROAD BEFORE A SMALL BRICK BUILDING.
    AROUND YOU IS A FOREST. A SMALL STREAM FLOWS OUT OF THE BUILDING AND
    DOWN A GULLY. YOU ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY FUCKING IDIOTS.

    I've attended a couple of choir events, but never on this level (these are all professional singers). My daughter will join me. I'm quite curious how she'll react.

    Can’t open the YouTube but if it’s pinworms, been there done that. Known cause of appendicitis. Enterobius vermicularis. I’ve also seen them slithering around while watching colonoscopies.

    So they would rather Europe use more coal, which is twice the emissions?

    And France is building (at least) 6 nuclear power plants while Germany dismantles theirs.

    And who cares? It’s their business, not ours…
