You can find Aerons online (ebay, craigslist) for a fraction of retail. I am currently sitting in a full-featured Aeron that I got for $400. I bought it 6 months ago and have no complaints so far.

Is there a reason why r/trees is the only subreddit with a chat group ;-)

I predict you would get many more users if you could get an email reminder (with link) when new high-quality movie torrents hit piratebay

I agree with all your points and would like to hire you to code up my idea for mashing up internet memes and home improvement supplies. I have already purchased the domain name: lolcatphotosharinghomedepot.com. Although I have made this much progress already, I am prepared to offer you 5% equity in this endeavour. The combination of my prestigious Harvard MBA and my 1 year of consulting experience at prestigious Bain, Co. will assure our success. Please let me know when we can begin. Your first step will be to deploy an Oracle/Microsoft cloud server in the cumulonimbus formation off the coast of East Africa to handle the user traffic that I am sure will arrive shortly.

no i just made this yesterday, it only takes snapshots of current deals. If you want to collect revenues going forward I would set up some kind of cron job and run it every night at a reasonable time (11pm Eastern US time would probably work, but you'd underestimate on the West Coast deals)

Ha yeah the code is a mess. I have used BeautifulSoup before but I don't understand how it works well enough and just wanted to get something out the door

Yes but I wanted to be able to collect sale statistics, so either way some scraping would need to be done on the links
