I used a secretlab Titan for 6 years. Currently looking to replace it, but that's only because the faux leather is starting to peel away. Really solid investment, super comfy.

For OP, I likely tried the $1400 chair that was recommended (Steelcase Gesture) and just sent it back. Decent chair but just didn't work for me.

Something along the lines of "it is okay to be anxious, change is scary, but so is stagnation."

Alternatively, "How do you eat an entire elephant? One bite at a time."

Ever since a buddy turned me on to adagio.com, no turning back to regular tea bags.

Short answer, yes. Think about it like registering for a website somewhere. Sometimes it takes a bit for the confirmation email to arrive. "subscription pending" means it is waiting to finalize the link to the other instance.

It is a "side effect" of this federated network. If you subscribe to a local thread, it is instant. Going to something non-local takes a bit.
