Reply to Margin Call by transformerjay

Ill take Margin Call over Big Short. I just love the cast. And Jeremy Irons puts on an absolute clinic in dramatic acting. He does so much with a look, a moment of silence. The first scene he is in the board room is simply a brilliant piece of acting.

Reply to The most comfortable footwear? by _SGP_

Walk on clouds leads me to believe you want gushy padding. Shoes like that are disposable. The rubber padding wears out by design so your joints don’t during high impact exercise.

Then on the other end of the spectrum hard soles boots like Nick’s are as long lasting as footwear gets, very comfortable and ergonomically healthy once broken in. But you will never call them gushy.

Reply to Bonded leather office chairs will only last about a year & then you have a large piece of trash. by temp225566

I have a bonded leather chair and it does get wear marks on the seams on one side. About once a year I patch it with vynil/ leather crack filler.

Honestly this is not BiFL but very fair service for less than half the cost of the typical chair recommended here.

Yes SC and HM are best in class. No argument. But my chair is not garbage one year later or even five of daily use. Not even close.

And that brings me to another point. Good maintenance is often as or more important than good quality.

Or a canary in the mineshaft. It wouldn’t be the first company that built a loyal following with excellent quality only to cash in churning out cheap, garbage versions of their product.

Looking at you Kitchen-aid mixers and Remington Arms.
