Does nobody else think that the never removed TV stickers give the thing a "take a picture for the upvotes and return this silly setup to the store" vibe?

I think it looks cool, but actually sitting there and using it would probably be a nightmare as lighting changed. It also precludes a deskpad, which is about the biggest improvement any setup can havea.

well why not posted:It also precludes a deskpad, which is about the biggest improvement any setup can havea. Are these worth it? I've never needed one, but I asked for one for Christmas, mainly because my kid is like one day away from damaging my desktop surface somehow. edit: He sawed into my old one with a metal comb. ![]() mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Dec 5, 2022 |

I hate using a mouse without a deskpad / mousepad. Sign of a weak willed person.

You're joking probably but when I see this it does speak to a lack of commitment to the task or something. I think most people who proudly proclaim to not need/want a Pad are the same people who are super proud about always putting their wallet in their front pocket or something.

I would never use a mouse without a mousepad; but I would also never put my wallet in my back pocket and I can’t for the life of me understand why people do. It’s the easiest place for a pickpocket to grab it without you realising (not that I live anywhere where that might be an issue); it’s the hardest pocket to reach comfortably, it’s more likely to create a silly unsightly bulge, it damages your credit cards, and you have to have a bloody wallet poking you in the rear end every time you sit down. the only thing worse would be the deeply perverted individuals who keep their smartphone in their back pocket.

I've never had a nice desk until recently, and I'm usually pretty loving budget with my builds because I'm a dirty poor, so I just never had a mouse pad and never noticed a difference. It always seemed like more bulk that just collects skin flakes, semen, and sadness. My new desk is nice though, and my kid ruins everything, so thanks Santa for a $30-my-child-is-an-rear end in a top hat desk pad. Edit: And why wouldn't you NOT want to keep your valuables in front of you where you can see it better?

VelociBacon posted:You ever see a wallet chain go to the front? Exactly! right so chaining my wallet up for even greater inconvenience is a better alternative to just putting it in a normal side pocket? honestly in these times of Apple Pay being universally supported by banks and merchants and digital ID being a thing I don’t even carry a wallet 90% of the time, just my phone. My wallet certainly hasn’t had any actual cash in it for nearly a decade.

I love that the choice of pocket you put your wallet in is a dividing line in the... Post pictures of your computer box thread 👌 Three Olives, can we get an update on your screen please?

I was actually a front pocket wallet guy in my adolescence and young adulthood, but changed over sometime around university. Now I'm a back pocket wallet guy. It's very freeing to not have anything in your pockets as you sit down, so I take everything out instinctively anyway -- never have sat on it unintentionally. My EDC in most ranges of weather is keys right front, wallet right rear, phone left rear. My state does not have digital ID and a good ~20% or so of the small businesses in my metro are cash only, corner stores have card minimums etc. (it is against Visa/MC terms to have certain minimums for debit cards but many merchants here don't care and still have one) Sorry back to the desks Inner Light fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Dec 10, 2022 |

Things are getting way too heated in here. We must build peace between the back and front pocket groups, through the only method that works. Introducing a common enemy. I put my wallet in the thigh pocket. In fact, this year I bought two pairs of specific model of cargo pants that has gone out of production because it has a pocket that is perfect size for my small wallet.

“is that a wallet in your front pocket, or are you just really happy to see me?” and from that day forward I swore that there would never be any confusion between my wallet and my dick ever again….

When you think about it: If you are working from home, then your desktop IS your every day carry. I assume no one is wearing pants anymore. Good riddance.

I just remember the dumb lever on the bottom of the front panel that you had to pull to remove it so you could remove the side panels

I 100% bought it for that feature. I was in the military and LAN parties were a way of life so having a light case with a carrying strap was a huge bonus.
