lobbes: http://alt.ericbenevides.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-08-27#1020728 << Mainly just socking away dubaloos and paying down debts. I've sort of just been enjoying the summer and being able to work from home. After years of burning the candle at all sorts of ends it has been nice to self-indulge the last several months, tbh
zzz999: Logged on 2020-08-27 23:10:03 asciilifeform: lobbes: what've you been up to ?
lobbes: I plan to resume various botworks before this year is out, though. I need to find a good local dubaloo-to-BTC contact too (arguably the time to do that was years ago, but nevertheless).
trinque: lobbes: in re: debts, ever just told the credit card companies "listen you fucks, cut me a deal or I'll stop paying" ?
trinque: they're dealing with such massive delinquincy right now there's no better time
asciilifeform: lobbes: iirc weren't yer debts for house, which you cashed in ? or ended up in minus ?
asciilifeform wholly unrelatedly, finally upgraded to modern chair, the kind where all the parts adjustable and arse floats 'in air'. recs to other folx stuck in front of comp for half the day
asciilifeform: the 1 replaced, was 30+ y.o..
asciilifeform cursing, 'oughta have done this decade+ ago'
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-08-28#1020742 << iirc you gotta formally declare bankruptcy to do this. ( tbh however asciilifeform doesn't know for fact, never stepped on this mine personally )

mats: i have an older model aeron, the hype is real
asciilifeform: mats: aha, that one ('type B')
mats: probably easy to scoop at a steep discount this year on account of small-medium corps pref for leasing furniture
asciilifeform: mats: i had same 1 decade+ ago on usg.mil throne, was a++. finally overcame miserliness and installed in torture room.
asciilifeform: mats: was defo a factor -- realized that can get for <0.5k $
asciilifeform: prolly will install in maffs room also at least.
mats: i recommend a posturefit kit (or lumbar pad), headrest, and thin seat cushion (i hate the mesh, its the worst aspect of the chair)
mats: there are roller-skate wheels that could be good if you have hardwood floors
asciilifeform: mats: this 1 had the lumbar piece. stock wheels seem to work ok on wood. the mesh, i actually like, arse can 'breathe' lol
asciilifeform observed, woman luvvs the thing even moar than asciilifeform , visibly changed colours from the 'aah', will prolly get her 1 also
asciilifeform: mats: is interesting that none of the clones of this thing seem to work 100%. knew a # of folx who had those, all whined & eventually threw out
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-08-28#1020741 << pgpgram asciilifeform re the types of dubloons, qties, & direction yer interested in going; may be able to help.

asciilifeform: mats: i can't resist to ask, does someone in fact ~lease~ chairs?! sounds batshit.
asciilifeform can picture 'chairs come w/ leased bldg'. but otherwise...
