@fbodymechanic - I spend a fair amount of time in on camera meeting with people and Iām less fidgety if I am sitting. When I am not on camera I do bump the desk up and stand.
@Orca - work hard, play hard - right?

so far so good, I find it a good fit for me and quite comfortable. I can see how a steelcase would be pretty supremium, but my price point was a little lower than that
How about this one?

Thatās fancy with footrest and everything ā¦ not too sure how the armrests work ā¦ are they height adjustable?
Not sure i just saw the picture and it matched the purple theme.

I stumbled upon this, without specifically searching for it. But somehow it sealed my opinion regarding gaming chairs.

Honestly, I wasnāt up a for spending several hundred for either a gaming chair or an office chair. mine was pretty inexpensive from the local Staples office supply: https://www.staples.com/staples-vartan-gaming-chair-blue-53242/product_24326200
ā¦ well, maybe not inexpensive overall ā¦ but certainly inexpensive vs SecretLab or Herman Miller

Red replacement shell for my Switch Liteā¦
And let me tell you, this was way harder than I expectedā¦
Iām no stranger to shell swapping consoles, but this one nearly had me pulling out my hair.
Literally every component had to be screwed loose, nearly 50 tiny screwsā¦
Separating the screen and digitizer was the scariest partā¦ i was so glad I didnāt see a giant crack in the screen when I booted it up the first time after finishing the swap.
I will probably kill myself if Nintendo announces a red Switch Lite tomorrowā¦

I had a Herman Miller when I worked at Verizon. I actually hated the thing, I was ALWAYS uncomfortable, and the ones used by heavier (250+) folks were ALWAYS breaking.
I got tired of having to look for the mouse when I needed to do some maintenance on my home server. So I bought a Logitech K400 Plus keyboard with integrated track pad. Downside, it ignores the system settings when it comes to turning off ātap to clickā. Upside, one can turn off ātap to clickā on the keyboard by pressing the fn + left mouse button.

A montage of some shelves in the utility room.
First from 2010, my Stanford folding farm at the end of my folding experience.
Four computers each with a Nvidia GEFORCE 8800 GT so I could fold with both the cpu and gpu.
Notice the cut out of one shelf for the humongous CRT screen. The Screen and keyboard were attached to a 4 port KVM switch.
Next, the folding farm is gone and in itās place two mini ITX motherboards with embedded Celeron CPUs. One is the Web Server, and the other the LAN server.
Not in the pic, but a 17" LCD screen took the place of the CRT.
Now for the actual on Topic latest purchase part. Last week both of the above servers died after 6 yrs of 24 Hours a day, 356 days a year of steady usage. They died within 2 days of each other.
Mad scramble to cobble up a couple of servers with what was on hand. The final result.
The latest purchase being the 12" LCD screen, and the 1U rack power distribution strip.
One can see the empty space left in my life by the absence of the CRT and 17" LCD.
I almost forgot. The replacement servers.
On the left, a Raspberry Pi 4b 4GB Web server. On the right, an Odroid XU4 LAN server. Which does a combination of serving Linux machines, serving Windose machines, and a DLNA media server.
The amazing thing is the D-link 24 Port 1 Gbit switch is the same one in all pictures.

I am weakā¦
Got the 512GB version for my L14. So Iāll have a 512GB NVMe (3.0x2) for the /home partition, and then the 1TB (3.0x4, Silicon Power P34A80) will just have /boot/efi and / on it.
Will make 3 of my laptops now running dual NVMe SSDās (Although the Latitiude 7400 is just a 128GB as itās secondary). 
Mind you, cheap secondaries since all of them use the WWAN slot which is only 2 channel, so completely USELESS to spend money on a high end drive for it (also it requires 2242 size, obviously). But just canāt stop myself from thinking having an empty SSD bay is such a waste.
