There's also a thread on these very forums about which chairs are good, if you want to research it first! (They'll tell you to go directly to Herman Miller and just pay them and get an actual warranty and actual customer service. The price is probably the same, but HM are not total 100% poo poo as a company)

Scotland hate law's a load of shite, it's so vague that it should be frightening but the police are pretty open about having 0 intent to enforce it ever. gently caress sake, round here they can't even investigate murders, let alone Internet slapfights.

They're actually a very good company. When I bought my chair I went to the showroom to try out their range before I committed. I mentioned that I'd been recommended the Aeron. The saleswoman told me that the Aeron was chiefly aimed at execs who wanted to show off the money, and instead directed me to my Mirra because it was just as good but significantly cheaper. She also didn't need to get a demo model out because her own office chair was a Mirra. Given that she'd have got a bigger commission for the chair I was asking for, that's bloody good customer service. Herman Miller stand firmly behind their products, but only because you're sitting on them.

isn't this just Anchoring? The presence of an insanely high price option makes the previous tier seem reasonable by comparison

I say this with love btw, you are my favourite poster.

I wouldn't say so. Anchoring is used to persuade someone to make a small purchase when they wouldn't otherwise have made a big purchase. In this case, I had expressed willingness to make the big purchase, but was instead advised to make the small one. If the saleswoman had kept her mouth shut she would have got more of my money.

That's just one nice lady though, saving you from being ripped off by a horrible chair overpricing company. Or maybe the expensive chair is much better and she just didn't want you do have it. It's difficult to say what happened with the amount of sales lady magic she's wrapped you up in.

Pretty sure agile can only be failed.

Apparently Agile has failed & Scrum Masters are being laid off.

Is this the end of Bullshit Bingo?

The National Trust has long prided itself on its famous scones. There is even a blog dedicated to them, along with a “scone of the month” feature. And with more than 3m sold every year, including those served with cream teas at its 300-plus tearooms, they are seen as an integral part of the National Trust day out.

But now the organisation has been forced to defend its recipe in the face of claims its scones have secretly gone “woke” with the introduction of a vegan recipe.

Forget whether the jam tops the cream, or the other way round: it is the lack of butter that reportedly is angering some visitors. ome critics have gone public, condemning the use of vegetable spread rather than butter in the plant-based scones served in National Trust cafes.

Maude Newby, 64, a longtime National Trust member from Bury St Edmunds, told the Daily Mail: “I can’t stand the taste of the new scones. They are not like traditional ones at all – they are flatter, drier and have an unappealing texture.”
