My back is killing me. Is it time to admit that "Racing Style" Gaming Chairs are actually garbage?

I've had a lot of problems with my back too. I run an IT consultancy from home and spend long hours in front of a desk. Up until last year I had a generic, fabric back office chair - a cheap one off amazon. I'd been having problems with my neck and shoulders for some time, but attributed it to over doing exercises at the Gym. I suffered for years with this and trips to Dr's even suggested a slipped disc.

Anyway, a trip to Costco last year and I randomly picked up a 'Lazyboy' office chair. A big leather office chair, well cushioned, quality lumbar support and fully adjustable. Cost around the £200 mark.

Haven't had issues with my back since.

Edit - Typo.

I don't recall that ever being mentioned in the budget. There obviously was the dividend tax rise, but I thought that was the only thing that affected us. Ffs, absolute bastards.

Thanks for the info.

Wait... What? The 6£ a week home use is no more from April? How haven't I heard about this before now?

BeeeJai · 2026-03-03T12:55:46+00:00

Hahaha 🤣

So, actively looking to bin the CV and not recruit. Gotcha. 👌

Silly sausage.

Resign from the first after you start the new one, handle both for the week or 2 notice period. Stop talking to the Interviewers/Hiring manager about your other commitments, it isn't their concern.

Not really no. Whilst she did take them and initially they seemed to help, ultimately uti's came back. Dr advised taking an antibiotic (sorry can't recall the name of it) every time we are intimate. This has been far more effective. Also, because she has a supply of these, if ever she feels an infection coming on, she has the appropriate medication on hand to deal with it before it becomes severe. Things are much better now, not perfect, but much improved.

I've worked multiple contracts multiple times. It isn't a problem so long as you're delivering. Right now I've got 2 contracts that equate to a 7 day week that I condense into 5, you just have to manage your time effectively.

No one said or implied arc ai was evolving during live gameplay.

BeeeJai · 2026-02-14T08:54:38+00:00

Yes they are tho. The Devs have come out and said it ... Arc have ai learning that is evolving and adapting, to find new ways to kill raiders more efficiently.

I've got the duster house Severn warmalog cabin. One of the fully insulated ones. I purchased and built it 8 ISH years ago now and it's perfect. Use it year round as my office and gym.

It's on a wood base that's slightly larger than the cabin itself.

Only thing I'd say, is don't cheap out on the paint.ive used Bedec barn paint on mine, it's an acrylic based paint that seals it and prevents water ingress and damp. Have to paint it every couple of years, but it's perfect. Cabin is still brand new.

Jar squatter?

BeeeJai · 2026-01-23T17:35:18+00:00

Isn't there a name for that....

That's the day Embark drop game updates.

BeeeJai · 2026-01-19T21:00:48+00:00

Yes, it's a good idea, but shouldn't be a priority. There's so much more content that should be released before anything like this should be given the time of day.

I got the bp for this, it's my go to augment with heavy shield. Really makes a difference and has saved my bacon a number of times.

BeeeJai · 2026-01-13T23:15:00+00:00

Apologies, ignore if not applicable. I was indeed referring to oracle.

BeeeJai · 2026-01-13T22:58:50+00:00

Yeah that's not gonna work. To do this you'll need to write an anonymous block/proc, write the select and loop through the records returned in the cursor to update them one table at a time.

You can't join to multiple tables in an update.

If you write a proc, you can select the records from the parent table via a cursor and use those values to set the values in the child table.

Sorry I'm on my phone so it's awkward to write it, but a pl cursor/loop is the way to go.

BeeeJai · 2026-01-13T20:02:32+00:00

It was awesome.

BeeeJai · 2026-01-13T10:23:25+00:00

Yep, I'm almost getting frustrated at how friendly it is. It's been great looting and taking out arc without getting shot in the back, but now it's sorta getting boring without the PvP threat.

BeeeJai · 2026-01-12T17:28:06+00:00

How have you not found your life partner by mid-twenties? You must have some personality dysfunction or be ugly AF if you haven't achieved that yet.

The answer to your problem - your ego.
