@rojoloco Fully agree, I own ... 6 of them? 3 of them are broken (durability long term is my only complaint).

I have 2, haven't had any issues yet. I had one of the older models (red ball) that lasted forever until I dropped the ball onto a concrete floor and chipped it.

The scroll wheel dies in them for whatever reason.

Do you guys love your sit/stand desks? Which brand did you end up going with?

I've been seriously looking at them lately as I've been having some nerve issues and the more I stand the less I hurt.

10/10 marks for this one. It's to modify an existing desk to be sit or stand.

I would very much like to try a treadmill desk.

I rock the cold hard ground below my feet.

60/40 stand/sit mix

I see the value in the antifatigue things but honestly I trip over the bastarding things so often that I hurled the last one out of my office into the bin.

That's the inherent problem with post deletion and editing. It's tough to follow the story after the fact. If I were modking, I'd lock the thread and move on. If needed, make a statement at the end about [insert obvious falsehood] to protect readers from misinformation.

I'll second that.

I put several times in there that the study was false. I put a long technical explanantion of it. Talked about what he actually studied, what we were actually talking about, etc. It was all there.

It's highly irritating when they delete stuff. If people want to look like asshats that should be allowed.

@scottalanmiller That's one reason why I only post what I post. I'd rather say nothing than say something that's likely wrong and cause harm. Unless I'm making an obvious joke, I can't fathom willingly giving bad information.

Accidentally causing harm is unlikely. Robert is intentionally lying about a test he faked to mislead people and discredit actual math. It's a very different thing. And something he has a track record of doing.

Do you have any proof? That's quite the accusation

Yes, proof was in the thread. He fabricated a study and called us all liars (because the math we use is a myth.) I find it odd that he called most of the community liars, and then fabricated a story to substantiate it, and I'm questioned for calling him out but no one, except me, questioned him for calling us all liars in the first place.

I read in the thread about his study - it might be useful for clarity to post something that substantiates your side of this. Right now it's not looking good for either of you. Just an observation as someone who knows nothing of what's going on outside of what I read in that thread (as with 95% of the people who will read it).

I had posted about the study. It was deleted by David, I think.
