This could work. I was going to posit some fan casting, then I realized that literally every actor I was coming up with for the local Mulder was in their 50s or 60s.
Counterpoint: no it doesn't. 🤣
So it's expensive, wears quickly, has QA issues, and they slow play warranty claims? Glad you ended up with a chair you like, but this is not inspiring confidence. :-)
I have a leap v1 I got about 5 or 6 years ago that was reupholstered by a local used office furniture place. I keep using cheap cylinders, so I've changed that out a couple of times, and I changed out the original armests about two years ago (bought from Crandall for that). All in, including the original purchase, I'm at maybe $350 over the entire time I've owned it, and the structural parts and new upholstery are holding up perfectly. The tag on the bottom says it is 22 years old.
The other side of my home office has a HM Mirra v1 I got for free when they shut down my employer's local office, and my wife uses a Steelcase Gesture in the "study," which is to say the nice home office that doesn't have two 3D printers, a soldering station, half a dozen keyboards, a dog crate, and an elderly cockatiel. My 10yo uses a godawful "gaming chair," but it's pink and she's ten, so ergonomics are barely a blip on her radar. She has a standing offer to take the Mirra.
I like Memmy well enough when I'm determined to use an app. Still holding out hope that a kbin one materializes.
Doom scrolling works fine, and discoverability is okayish. The search function mostly seems to bring up communities, so that's kind of what you'd need.
And for the final thing I’ll definetly wanna fix with no clue how, is that the Monitor is oddly Zoomed out. The text is all further back then it should be making for a weird look. Old Burn-in from when this thing was actively used also assures me of that. No clue how one can fix that, any suggestions?
Most CRT displays have potentiometers, adjustable by screw or knob, to control horizontal and vertical size. As always, be careful with flyback transformers, etc., so as not to die.
Burn in is a real and AFAIK permanent thing.
This happened last month. On January 6, Ingenuity flew 40 feet (12 meters) skyward but then made an unplanned early landing after just 35 seconds. Twelve days later, operators intended to troubleshoot the vehicle with a quick up-and-down test. Data from the vehicle indicated that it ascended to 40 feet again during this test, but then communications were ominously lost at the end of the flight.
Sounds like NASA is of a similar mindset already.
Most unrealistic part of the movie, and by god I'm including TIME TRAVEL, is that Scotty would be both dismissive of and insanely good at keyboarding text entry and use of a 1980s computer. Either he'd be pissed off because because there was no way to use this antique, or he'd be delighted at the chance to use his historical reenactment skills.
That's what I'm saying. I ate it too, or at least took a bite and started chewing before trying to figure out what was off here.
EDIT: LOL, now I have no idea whether I misread, or if @MajorHavoc edited their post to change "hate" to "ate". Probably the former, though I stand by my opinion that The Onion's best gags are always the headlines. 🤣
That's pretty cool, TBH. Not sure the GIJOE USS Flagg model was quite that seaworthy, LOL.
