My wife & I were watching the news (ok, I was browsing on my phone) and my wife yells out "Hey, isn't that Linus on TV ?!?!?"  SO we rewound the DVR, and sure as sh!t, there was Linus, the standing desk and the oil cooled PC (they never mentioned him, the channel or anything, but used him as background video for a discussion on sit/stand desks)

 

 

 

6600K @ 4.7 GHz ASUS 1070, OCed a bit. Mini iTX case, same mobo as Paul's "hotbox" build.

i like how somebody thought that an updesk would have any affect whatsoever on obesity...

 

they are designed for comfort cuz sometimes its more comfortable to stand up while i work instead of just sitting for 8 hours a day

How do Reavers clean their spears?

This ^

 

As much as I love being a lazy sod and sitting in my chair, there's the time where standing is more comfortable. Plus it's (if you stand correctly) better for your back.

75% of what I say is sarcastic

 

So is the rest probably
