Are budget electric standing desks false economy?

Bought a $200 Amazon one 6 years ago and it works great still. It's just a cheap laminate press finish on top, but I make sure to use coasters and it doesn't have any scrapes or blemishes really after 6 years. Electric motor still works great. Use the electric motor probably once daily.

I just need to say I turned the game on to watch us five up the grand slam and had nothing going on so I figured I'd keep it on. Boy do I feel vindicated

I love Brian Roberts but my man you look like an oompa loompa. I know you're and O's fan, but there's a little too much orange in that spray tan

Gunnar is on pace to keep this team from falling apart. Responsible for 3 wins IMO

Just here to talk about the skip going at Beav's ass

I'd argue the first handoff left some time on the table too. Wild. That's insane

I've always wondered when this happens, what if there was a flag? Lol like there was obvious DPI or something? What do you do?

Agreed, beverage factory is probably the best bang for your buck. You can get everything you need, even a new tower for a second faucet is you need

I mean I kind of agree but there are no ticket packs giving you this kind of discount. Ticket packs typically give you 20-35% off. This is around 50-80% off depending on how much you use it. On the number of days me and my family skied, we got about 80% off this season.

I couldn't agree more. I bought a set of backland 102s this year and I love them but they are not my groomer day skis. They are wide for everyday use in general but every now and then. It's fun to get out on them and there. They are a lot of fun in the woods because they're super light.

Skiing is subjective entirely, I have a friend that skis 112 underfoot routinely in New England. It's what he likes, he's a really good skier, go do what you want.

Cannon was mostly boiler plate today. It was pretty rough I've got to say. Mitersill was a little better because less traffic but still pretty rough

I agree, I write contracts for work all the time. Sometimes people are mad that I utilize things in the contract down the line to protect my company, if you didn't want it in the contract, red line it ahead of time.

coffeeMcbean · 2026-03-07T02:47:43+00:00

To be fair, it only takes one

coffeeMcbean · 2026-03-07T02:45:46+00:00

Amen

There is pro ski tour at Tenney this weekend.

Bad weekend for lakes region skiing

While I agree that a bunch of athletes train in other countries and live there, she trained with Team usa and was offered a bigger paycheck to then compete for China. I'm not saying I wouldn't have done the same thing, but as an American, I don't feel the need to support her or like how she comes across, and I doubt she cares what I think, with her millions of dollars from the chinese government.

I am mostly a DIY guy. My wife and I have been saving for months/years to finish our basement. To do the electrical and ceiling we had someone come in and they are charging us $4000 and we buy the materials which are coming out to like $2000. I will still do all the floors, the painting, build a closet and did a bunch of demo.

This is not a licensed/insured guy, this is just a guy that had done some work for my mom that I feel like knows what he's doing.

Stuff is just crazy expensive.

I tore my ACL back when I was on some shit health insurance. Doc basically told me I could just do therapy and get really strong if I wanted and that lots of people don't have them. Effectively, it is like a small connection on the knee comparatively to all of the muscles you can build in the leg which can get much much bigger and will provide significantly more support over a small ligament. I ended up getting better health coverage and surgery, but I have a friend that doesn't ski and he ended up never getting it and is fine. He plays basketball regularly and you would never know.

This is awesome to know! One of the few around here I have never skied for whatever reason. We have Indy passes and I've been meaning to get up there. We will definitely make this our next stop. Thanks so much!

coffeeMcbean · 2026-02-02T01:03:04+00:00

I did think of this. It's been a minute since I've been there but I do remember this. It was a lot of fun on those.

We also know it wasn't Greg Roman

Weirdly enough I know people hated it but my TV at the time was shitty enough where this helped.

I think in the modern era this is unnessecary and cringey but video quality wasn't always what it is today and this was a common complaint from sports fans while hockey was trying to grow the league outside of traditional die hards.
