My wife and I used our first stimulus checks to buy Herman Miller chairs for our home offices, and it's probably the single biggest QoL increase I can remember from a purchase.

It has been the worst for me since I have bought a Herman Miller Aeron. The thing leans to the right. I have got replacements, but they were all made the same month and have the same leaning issue. Some worse some better. Such poor quality control.

pandemic and lockdown has changed literally NOTHING for me, except not having to endure the walk to the car to drive to work

Well I'm glad things are going good for you. Some of us are still struggling. Many people are too poor to splurge 1K on a luxury office chair. This article is about those people.

I'm honestly intrigued how a 7 year old account has 4 comments in total. All in the last 2 months.

I mean the signup flow is basically frictionless here, and yet.

Off topic: Do we have a submission article convention for indicating audio tracks / podcasts in the title? The written article is two paragraphs, while the audio appears to be a bit over 24 minutes. I did not readily find a transcript to read.

I'm seeing a full-length article and no podcast. (I am a paid subscriber to the New Yorker.)
