samsies, the DV7s are pretty fucking reliable, though i've found their cooling systems (fans) to be woefully underpowered for the job of cooling a 17.3 inch laptop. Kerbal Space Program overheats it pretty quickly to the point where the fan needs to be significantly elevated off the desk after about 15-20 minutes,…

I own a 6.5-year-old HP dv6 series laptop. Save for a fan replacement, it's still going strong. Only upgrade I've made to it is installing an SSD — otherwise, it's all OEM parts.

Elitebook 8530w here, 4 years old, never had problems and still feels high-end. I guess with this thing being military-grade, drop proof and all it's only natural that they also put the most reliable components they have in it. After all, what's the point in a mechanically unbreakable pc that electronically breaks in…

I have an HPdv6 as well, over six years it's held up great and I haven't had any problems with it.

"...as someone who's easily drained in large groups, I find that I'm happier listening to the stories that other people tell than I am talking about myself...."

And it's getting even better if you also stretch your legs! I call that the "sheriff posture"!

I hate the fact that YouTube makes me choose between watching the video or reading the comments.

Many people always think I am going to break my chair by working like this... -_-

This is the exact posture I settled on in eight months of coding.

I work in the media, and I'm the same way! People think I'm trying to take a nap or some shit. Like no, I promise this is productive!

I am the same. I NEVER use the Urinal. Ever.

My kingdom for a really good foot rest. I'm too short for most chairs and desks so when I recline it feels like I'm losing touch with the earth.

That makes me so sad. I want people to love physics. One of the best compliments I ever got came from one of my lab students, who relayed a conversation she'd had with one of my lecture students. The quote: "I like physics now because she likes cats."

Let's work together to make an infographic of this. I'm not joking.

SI units for a physicist please. Always. ;) So mass in kg.

If I model them as basically spherical masses, and my back as a beam that pivots at the waist...then I do a real simple model of the torque that they place on my back.

That's exactly how I've sat at my computer for the last 5 years. My girlfriend is convinced it's really bad. Sending her that gif now :) She still won't believe it though.

Boobs. They complicate my posture.

You are lucky then. But how do you manage to have computer desk that elevated?

I have bladder shyness as well, although it hasn't always been that way. I was comfortable during gym class and while on the swim team, but ever since after graduating high school, I absolutely have to take a stall when I'm in a public restroom. I just can't pee in a urinal with others around...
