Nice chairs! I especially like this design on your linked site: For use either in the office or, maybe, for blast off.....

So, as I suspected: I think this Chinese-manufactured chair, which is sold through a local large retailer, is causing problems with circulation in the bottom of the thigh. Here in this video, the guy talks about a SCULTED seat bottom. And, IMHO, this might provide some benefits. This guy might have a healthier chair (for now), but I have about 10 times the desk-top space (maybe eleven times). NOTE: Please note in parts of this video where you can actually see the sculpted concavities which are designed to nestle the undersides of the thighs.

I have been afraid that this might be the only answer. I have even tried using pillows in various configurations, but the seat (bottom) of the reclining office chair I purchased several months ago is as uncomfortable as ever. I have never sold anything on line, either in Thailand or anywhere else. I would be happy to get 80 percent of what I paid. I might even contact the original seller, the Office Blank store, and see if I can negotiate a return at a loss to myself. (Best scenario would be to find some great cushion that would solve the problem.)

My posts are definitely not nonsense. In fact, they are no nonsense posts. But, just out of curiosity, I will play along with you and ask: By what metrics are you saying that anyone here might be ignoring my contributions to the Forum?

Fortunately, I am not plagued by diabetes. But, good suggestion if I were.

So, a few months ago I bought this office chair which is both padded and made in China. The material is PU. The problem, as best as I can determine, is that there is relatively less padding in the center of the seat, and the biggest offender is that there seems to be some sort of hard padded ridge at the front of the seat. This raised ridge, which is also padded, cause diminished blood flow passing through the circulatory system at the bottom of both thighs. And, this restricted or diminished blood flow has led to edema in both feet. True, the swelling is reduced after a few hours. However, repeated swelling can stretch the blood vessels so that they will probably lose their elasticity, after many days, months perhaps. This is why I would like to nip this in the bud. a. I do not want to discard the chair, it being new. b. Anyway to make this chair very comfortable and ergonomically healthy with minor modifications? Also, how do other more expensive chairs circumvent this potential problem though better design? When I was younger, much younger, maybe four decades ago, I would buy real leather chairs that were extremely comfortable. Now, chair manufacturers seem to be creating tools of torture fit for the use of a medieval Catholic tribunal, or maybe.... A chair designed using a copy of one of Edgar Poe's stories. I will not be able to continue using this chair until I find a good solution. What modifications might work? Regards, Gamma

Welcome to the High Heel Club! There is a chapter of this club in Hong Kong, too....! Or, was.

Such a nice story. This Farang is probably one in a million. And, this is the way to go, if you gotta go.

Women seem to have a bad sense of direction. Always have. Always will. The cause is due to Evolution. We evolved as hunters. Men are the HUNTERS. Women are the COOKERS. Women stay home at the campsite, and rarely leave. So... Women did not evolve with a sense of direction.

Yes, and I must agree with you. If only we could write down the views of movie stars on scraps of paper, put them in a hat, together with the views of dullards on the same Topics, and then pull them out of the adz, and read them to a committee, we would see what we would see.

Referring to me, I suppose?

Chinese students: a. Very respectful, with great respect for learning. b. They are driven. They excel in the Natural Sciences at IVY Schools in the US for this reason. c. Chinese students, especially the more serious ones, are such a pleasure to teach. (Why teach non-Chinese students, for that matter, these days?) d. Many are brainwashed, but easily recover once outside of the Chinese bubble. e. Amazing parental support for their children's academic success. f. One could go on, gushing, for another ten pages, probably.

What? Are you, then, intending to pass away and leave us tomorrow? I, for one, will miss you.

I ordered the same cheap instrument from Lazada, produced in China. Seems to work well. But, the sensor is very slow at registering the actual ambient temps. Good purchase because of its very LOW cost. I might buy another one, in fact.

Terrible. The THING that makes this terrible beyond terribleness is that it is farmers like this who break their backs every day providing food for the rest of us. They deal with drought and heat and floods. They get paid too little, and it is the operators of Big Box food chains, around the world, who are raking in record profits during this post-pandemic period (alliteration intended.) If I were GOD, I would change this inequity today, this minute.

WAIT.... Wait one cotton-pickin' MINUTE! There is something FISHY in the State of Denmark, around here. I KNOW I typed rely upon. But, for some reason, the site added relay on. If THIS is not a blatant indication of AI gumming up the works, then I do not know what might be! Apparently, though I cannot prove it.... The providers of forum software, maybe such as the one we are now using, seem to have added an AI-governed spelling algorithm to guess intended spellings, as they are being typed! How ELSE can you explain rely upon being changed to relay on???? This has had me fightin' mad for the past few months, when I first noticed this.

Americans, as you and I know, being Americans, have been... Boors from the Beginning, and... Always will be boorish. This is part of our heritage given to us by ancestors raised on the frontiers of places like The Klondike in Alaska, and the Oil Fields of Oklahoma. We are....OAKIES, all of us, when you scratch off a bit of veneer of semi-civilization which coats most of us.

Yes. However, this seems to have zero impact on the image as it appears AFTER being copied and pasted into the TV Comment one is composing, at least USING THE SOFTWARE that I use. So solly, Fella. Note: Why do you guys always feel the need to DEBATE everything? I have already told you the way reality works. Sort of like overgrown teenagers, IMHO, because teenagers never accept anything, not ANYTHING when their parent try to tell them nothing.

I am still on the fence about it....

I did NOT say "main", I said "stronger". Water vapor is not the strongest greenhouse gas, which is why I did not say this. Methane, per molecule, might be considered a stronger greenhouse gas. And, there are other greenhouse gasses which persist a long time in the atmosphere and have far more potential to cause global warming. It's always best to not just parrot some statement read on the internet without first understanding the CONTEXT.

If fact, Columbia should be much higher on a more objective list. Each of these "lists" uses different criteria, and they are biased. And, many relay on students' reporting, or on number of research papers published. Therefore, for example, if one criterion is numbers of paper published, there is no mention of what journals have published the papers. In the case of some universities around here, the grad students seem to publish their articles/papers in lesser known GARBAGE publications, like Boy's Life, or something, IDK....

Take a BETTER Look, FELLA.... The huge print you object to is just an image posted from the title of a research paper. This is an IMAGE and there is no way to adjust the font pitch. You DO know what the pitch of a font is, right? Anyway, as I say, since this is an IMAGE, the size and type of fonts cannot be adjusted. Capisce?

We need some easier way to automate italicization. Anyway, being a genius, I like to use BIG WORDS, you know. Just adjust your entire screen smaller, or hold it farther away from your face, and you will be fine. No worries, Buddy.

Here is your list: I would choose a school only from the top 20 (U. Singapore might be OK. But, I think Hong Kong University once was better, before the Commies came marching in.) https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2024/world-ranking

NOBODY here is talking about LOCAL Climate change. Where have you been during the past 40 or 50 years? We are destabilizing what has, for over 10,000 years, been a stable climate system. Instabilities such as this can easily lead to famine when crops lose productivity at temperatures only slightly warmer than they are now. We are already losing productivity due to rising mean temperatures....
