A standing desk.
Printable View
All desks stand, dickhead.
Does it go high enough to hang yourself off looking at that wall all day?
Less of that people, come on. Jeez.
What desks for standing people? I agree
I've known two people who got standing desks and swore that it did wonders for their back problems, but they were middle aged ex-servicemen not spritely young lads with shoe collections.
I'd be looking at one of those at some stage soon, we had them at the office and they really are the shit.
Why is standing up better than sitting down?
It's all about posture. Think about how, sitting down, you've got to think about your back, neck and legs. Standing up, all you have to worry about is your desk is at the right height.
You also get to pretend you're a dj.
Get one of those man bras advertised on Instagram and sit your arse down.
I just get up from my desk plenty. Something that's a lot easier to do at home than in the office. And I stretch more.

It’s not. Nobody will ever do it without telling someone. That’s the whole reason for them.Quote:

Standing up isn't necessarily better than sitting down, but the option to do both is amazing. I've had a dodgy shoulder and lower back for ages and I'm expecting both issues to evaporate.
How much was it?
I know it sounds like middle class 1st world problems on the surface, but I've deffo had far more irritation from rsi-esque muscle aches from sitting at desks and typing and shit than anything I suffered from when I did more manual stuff like stacking shelves. Admittedly that might just be because I've been a lazy, fat and slightly older bastard in the former jobs.
Picked up one of those blade beer machines this week. Great fun.
About £700. Could have got a slightly inferior one for £550 or something but it's not like I'm spending money on anything else at the moment.Quote:

@Baz
I want one of those but can't justify the outlay at present.Quote:

My household has 3 Simba pillows and they’re well worth the £99 price tag. They’re filled with weird styrofoam-style pieces that you can add and remove as you see fit to get the exact softness you desire.Quote:

I've used a Simba pillow in the past and it was great for about a year and a half. After that it just stayed pretty flat.Quote:

I bought this at the start of the year and it's great. Banking on having elite athlete tier spinal health by summer.
I almost went for Tempur but the last pillow I bought was this one:

It's comfortable although I still think there are better options (of which I've already gone through quite a few).
The old Baz would have tried to upsell the mattress. What has happened to you?Quote:

I’m here for it.
Do you have much other outdoor cooking stuff or just the Ooni? I bought a second hand Weber smoker last week that I'm in the process of restoring to go with my standard Weber kettle.Quote:

The wok burner will also be for outdoors, but we don't have any other outdoor cooking stuff at the moment. Plan to get a Weber kettle though.
I'm not sure about freezing the dough.
I've frozen dough before without an issue.

Not my video but can confirm the wok burner goes like a jet engine as above.
Bought a bit of granite worktop off facebook marketplace and made a frame for it today out of timber. Outdoor kitchen project almost complete.
After posting in here I got one of those targeted Instagram ads and it was frozen dough from Ooni.Quote:

I really need a new laptop.
No sign of a decent pizza oven in the prime day sales so I'll leave that till black friday.
Bought a rotisserie for the weber instead, £80 down from £115.
Gon a get a chicken thigh kebab on the go this weekend.
I bought a new router in the Prime day sales:

Will use the older router too and set up an Asus AiMesh to reduce hotspots.
Also picked up an external SSD for my PS5.
Ordered a new TV. 55” LG G1.
Will look too big on my chimney breast and will certainly be too high to comfortably watch, but getting rid of the TV stand is worth it. Plus I got £800 knocked off.
Wall mounted TVs :sick:
Best place for them rather than chucked in a corner.
Boydy embarrassing himself.
Speaking of which, I cannot find a wall bracket for mine at all and it’s not even that old. I’m building a chimney breast at the minute and I’m having to put an inset into it.
I always find people who've wall mounted tv's do so at a shit height.
