I can’t afford a good standing desk… and the split keyboard is not needed.
Your back hurts because you keep the same posture even when your body tells you not to.
When you have a job, and say work for 3-4 hours, your body will tell you to stop and do something else for a couple hours. But you can’t cause life.
The ergonomic stuff are fulfilling their purpose by giving you a decent posture, your just holding it too long.
This is also why being rich would be a solution, even those who are rich but work, they aren’t working 40 hours every week nonstop. It’s also why they are so keen that “golf meetings” are so effective.
About the golf meetings:
I made up a story around it. Basically, golf is a metaphor for business (and sex, now that i think about it). You gotta get the ball (yourself) into the hole (your target). Sometimes, you can’t do it in one step, so you require multiple steps to approach your goal. In any case, you take big steps in the beginning, and then as you get closer you need to become more gentle and delicate to not miss the perfect spot.
you used an and operator instead of xor.
sorry, your statement is false and my back hurts because…
What if you’re in construction?
You hurt your back carrying your standing desk up ten floors.
have standing desk, always lowered
No it hurts cause I do manual labor
I keep thinking that your lower back hurts for psychological reasons. Like, tummy ache is caused by psychological reasons like 90% of the time. It makes sense that the same would apply to back aching, since they’re in the same region.
Jokes on you! I do all of that and it still hurts!
I use a trackball mouse. That must be why my back is doing great.
i find trackballs fascinating because i really like it but everybody else in the family fucking hate it as if kicked the dog or something. on the brighter side of things - everybody gave up on snooping around on my desktop

Bonus points if you can touch-type: Legendless blank keycaps. XD
If that doesn’t work learn Dvorak
“Hmmm, I’m going to write you a prescription for 75% more RGB LED backlighting”
Lower back support pillow will do the trick too.
Actually my back hurts because your mother damaged it with her large mass when we were engaged in coitus.
Daaaaaaad stop
That’s what she said
🧐
There’s a big difference between “Dad” and “Daddy” though less than the users of one think.
I read coitus as combat. Makes sense I suppose
I have all those things, but my back hurts because I fucked it up on my 20’s moving file cabinets at a minimum wage job.
I do consider it the reason i don’t have carpal tunnel after 30 years of IT/Code/Sysadmin though.
The last time I hired a few people to help me move, I gave each one an extra $30 just to get themselves a goddamn back brace, that shit makes me worried when I see young people yanking heavy shit around like it’s not doing anything to their bodies.
real solution for most people would be to start exercising
Well this and a shorter work day/week so one doesn’t have to chose between a social life, a healthy body, home upkeep, child care, and self care. Maybe sprinkle in some accessible and free healthcare both physical and mental. Idk, wouldn’t be the first time i was wrong about something.
Exactly right. Just a bit of exercise every week is enough to get stronger muscles and no pain in back or anywhere else. At least that worked for me, and its easy to do.
Peoples bodies are rarely used for physical work if you work in some sitting down position all day, and it means you lose all muscles with time.
Stretching too, it doesn’t have to be complicated like yoga, just find a doorjamb and put your arm against it or push against a wall or something, try to touch your toes, raise your arms, breath deep and hold your positions, don’t wiggle or lunge, just stop where you feel a pull and hold it, try to cover all your major support areas.
