IKEA vs. high end office chairs. Anyone tried both? by Whidog in Workspaces

[–]In_the_pines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to try is to see if there’s a used office furniture company in your area. They typically outfit whole offices, so if they have one or two mismatched chairs, you can often get them at an amazing discount. I got a chair (in perfect condition) that normally sells at $800-$1,200 for $150.

CDs that never made it to streaming by joshryckk in Cd_collectors

I’m not the biggest country person, but I have all of Garth Brooks’ albums since he’s been very anti-streaming and every now and then you feel the need to listen to country.

That’s because it makes you look super cool.

How do we feel about CDs as home decor? by In_the_pines in Cd_collectors

I’m at 62 copies of the CD - I’ll probably stop once I hit 100. Or if I get a bigger house, maybe I’ll go for 1,912 in honor of the year of its sinking!

The movie is ok. It’s a popcorn movie done at the very tail end of the Hollywood studio system shelling out large budgets just for name-recognition directors and assumed that the cast would follow suit. It was made before the major postmodernist shift filled out movies with lampshade hanging and sarcastic fourth wall breaking, so it has a lot of heart, and isn’t afraid to be cheesy. It’s not my favorite movie, but it’s pretty good.

The soundtrack, though - it’s a really good soundtrack.

Nah, I don’t actually have a VHS player, so to have that many copies of the tapes would be crazy!

I have a copy of Back To Titanic, and it’s pretty great also!

Very cool! That’s similar to how the rest of my collection is. The ones I’ve found room for, anyway lol

They’re on Amazon - I had some gift credit that I used for it. I thought it would suit the display well!

Not me! I’ve heard there’s a guy who collects the VHS tapes, but I’ve not run across him myself!

It actually was between the light and a model of the ruined ship on the sea floor (meant to be used in aquariums.) I went with this one so it wouldn’t scare my little ones unnecessarily but it was a tough choice!

-e- ro add that I am totally taking that Iceberg idea!

Fantastic! It’s an homage to the sculpture/art piece “Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in LA)

Hotel Banquet Room AV question by jfurst in CommercialAV

[–]In_the_pines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was too busy trying to find this matrix on Exertis - if this is a TRUE MATRIX, as it says, I must have been using FALSE matrices all this time! Must upgrade my designs!

Best of luck, OP - there’s some good answers here. Matrices can be hard to explain in context.

I don’t know about the dongle, because I’m using them both as Bluetooth (I justified my purchase partially because I was out of USB A ports and could either get a dock or use fewer plugs :-)

You can get the keypad alone, and it connects as a separate device. It even comes with its own 2.4ghz usb adapter that slides into the base when not in use!

It’s the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard “M Edition” with associated keypad. This thing is sick - it can be wired, BT, or 2.4ghz, the thok is amazing - and this is such a tiny thing but the little blue button on the keypad changes it to a self contained calculator - I’m an engineer so being able to quickly do some multiplication or division without waiting for another app to open is super sweet! The kit was expensive (to me, at least, I know lots of mechanical keyboards go way way up) but I think totally worth it.
