When I was a kid, I saved some money for a few months to buy a telescope (it was the time when my class was being taught about Galileo and Copernicus). I used to look at the moon, every full moon. Not much but it was wonderful. I still dream about buying a big telescope for my house.

Is a 'hangover' ... when your computer comes unexpectedly to a state in which no further operations can be carried out, then suddenly begins to work normally again?

I got a couple of day passes, I'll be back in the straight jacket next week.  I see there are still a few of the regulars still here.
Hope you are well. Still drinking I trust, you wouldn't want to let the Aussie side down. Work alright? Family OK?
I'm eating less chocolate and running more ... when I hear it put it like that, I think I must be mad! Other than that, I'm still coding, but mostly embedded now.

Still drinking though the diet has had o change somewhat. Diabetes f***ing up and I'm down from 88kg to 82kg. Never been above 98kg and at 188cm it was never fat let alone obese. Faarrrkkkk you diabetes.
Work is work, not enough of it but that happens when you work for yourself. Kids are soon 21 and 18, youngest sits her HSC in 2-3 weeks.

PS I note you have changed your name but you still have the same sig ... although it is a classic, so I guess that's OK.

Years and years ago (reckon it was 2000) I added HTML tags to make my name Bold and Italic. Some other Muppet came along and used my name (OK so it might be theirs too) and Maunder (another Muppet) didn't program in stripping of tags when comparing for unique Display Names.
So a few weeks/months ago I start having layout issues and the pop-ups for the for users. To fix up nd turn off I had to change my Settings. Low and behold I cannot keep my name in any format. Maunder fixes it for me but doesn't give me Bold or Italic.
So I wanted to add something that would pass the filter but piss them off. They either like it or hope I'll go away.
Might have to change it to see if any one has seen my lady bits and see how it goes down.

No, that would be "ultra capitis" ("no more headache", according to Google Translate )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

What do you wand us to say to that? The situation might be unbeerable? I'm not sure you're familiar with high cast of sobriety.

Are there any stationary chairs (no wheels) that offer reclining or tilting capabilities?

Yes, but they're mostly found either in spacecraft, or in the La-Z-Boy section of a furniture store...

Get a standard desk chair, and pull the wheels off - they only slot in anyway.

If you do that, make sure you replace them with glides of some sort (ex cheapest on Amazon[^]); the wheel base isn't designed for contact with the floor and risks scratching the crap out of it even if it's tall enough to keep the cylinder from touching down.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yes I have seen such chairs, in conference rooms, with a rather slight but comfortable tilt.

I once had a boss who had an inch taken off the back legs and an inch and a half taken off the front legs of some new chairs for guests/targets of his office. It's a difficult cut to get perfect...although he claimed just a slight wobble was not only acceptable, but desired.

You could give ^these a try.. 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.
