the startup i worked for got bought by a mega corp. They taught us devs how to use some intranet forms to order things we needed like keyboards and mice. These items would get approved or rejected by the engineering manager and it was pretty straightforward.
I put a request into the system for one of these (well one very similar, the Scorpion) thinking my boss would see the $50k request and jokingly refuse it.
What i did not know was that any request over a certain dollar amount triggered a review, by sending the request to my bosses boss. And over ANOTHER amount it did it again. I got a talking to but it was worth it to imagine the face on some VP seeing a dev try to order a $50k chair
Can get a dental cleaning during meetings, awesome
Put a big hole in that incline and your proctologist can do their thing too!
Combining “company quarterly review” with “dental cleaning”, while time efficient, is a kind of sensory combo that’s right up there with “nuts and gum”. Sounds great until you think it through a bit.
Edit: I’ve actually done the latter by accident. 1/10 - “I don’t know what I expected.”
“nuts and gum”
together at last!
Why isn’t this the standard?
Because the mouse falls off the table the second you start typing.
Magnetic mouse?
If there’s one thing I like it’s resistance as I move my mouse
A trackball mouse attached to the desk is the obvious solution. Velcro would work.
I don’t think people realise that these setups (less exaggerated) are usually for disabled or chronically ill people unable to sit up.
So me on a Wednesday morning after a questionable amount of moonshine the night before?
For some chronic illnesses. Yeah. But imagine that for life. And that’s the best you feel. It can get worse. Sometimes for long periods, you don’t know if you will get back even to the that “shitty best you feel”. And even at your best, you barely feel a fraction as good as a healthy person.
You don’t get to feel okay your birthday, or on christmas, or when you need to do something special. You just feel ill, like a bad hangover or bad flu, in perpetuity.
That’s the reality for a lot of severe chronic illnesses.
That’s me today! I’m playing my favorite game: chronic illness or acute illness?
Pro tip: Add a background image to your video conference for privacy.
Most unsettling part here is toilet paper positioning (if not cat owner).So it would look like you are chest deep in a toilet. It’s the way I prefer it anyway.
ahaha I love how the only one getting shit everywhere is literally Drumpf. Accurate.
The toilet paper is loaded backwards
Every time my ex would reload, she loaded it this way. Every time I found it this way, I would reverse it
I’m pretty sure this was a contributing factor in my parents divorce.
Excuse me, that’s the best way to load toilet paper. The best overall, however, is a bidet. Ascend, my child.
Is there a way on Lemmy to downvote and upvote at the same time?
The first part of your statement says you should up your meds, the second part is lucid though.
Lemmy needs to distinguish itself with character-level voting. Somebody made a great post but unironically used an interrobang? Hit 'em right in the analytics.
What did you just say about the interrobang‽
What’s an interrobang‽
As a cat owner, you’ll never catch my rolls in this blasphemous position. Kitty’s getting misted if he confuses hanging TP as a toy
Cat owner… my stupid bois have found a way to empty the roll even when it’s placed like that. Nothing is safe.
That would not stop a cat
if not cat owner
Bend the cardboard roll on the inside so it becomes oval-shaped. That way it doesn’t keep unrolling if they pull on it
The toilet paper is correctly installed
That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it’s 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.
But, what I’m curious about… how is this a “shoes on” occasion?

Work dress code.
Hehe, fair.
A bonus is you can invite your dental hygienist over and have your teeth cleaned while you work
chokes to death on coffee
Dies by monitor to face
At least he died doing what he loved. Being in a Teams call about interdepartmental efficiencies.
100% my S/O’s goals
When I see this I think of the week I worked flat on my back with sciatica. It was literally a pain my neck as I turned my head sideways to look a laptop on the side on the floor.
So I see a guy with bad sciatica, but a more comfortable work setup.
this does no look confortable
If you use both hands to type the mouse would either fall off or be damgling from its cord
I think it’s a trackball stuck in place but I could be wrong
Indeed even worse
Congratulations, you made it worse.
Use a trackball and tape the base to the desk?
Tiny jet engine that thrusts uphill to counteract gravity whenever your hand isn’t on the mouse
Electromagnets engage when you release the mouse.
How’s Eternal Death Slayer 3 coming along, JP?
Mmmm beeb boop please sit on my face mmmm
Do you like my music?
You would if you had ROBOT EARS
Doubles as a hospital baby delivery bed, so you can work through labor.
Oh America, what will you think up next?
Buddy I just did that today from my bed threw the laptop aside and slept 30 minutes more. Luckly I don’t use my cam for meetings.
I would just fall asleep
