A new study from Australia involving over 83,000 participants found that prolonged standing may not improve heart health and could even increase the risk of certain circulatory problems.

Researchers discovered that standing for extended periods did not reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. In fact, spending too much time either sitting or standing was linked to a higher risk of problems such as varicose veins and feeling dizzy or lightheaded when you stand up.

      I worked with a guy who had one of those at home, and his camera mounted at an up angle.

      Whenever he got on zoom meetings it looked like he was laying on top of you fucking you missionary.

      Truly disturbing.
