Hey, folks

I’m trying to find a good pair of running shorts and I’m realizing there are way more options than I expected. Some look great online, but then the reviews mention chafing, bad liners, tiny pockets, or the waistband riding up halfway through a run.

I mostly run a few times a week, usually 3 to 6 miles, so I don’t need anything super elite. I just want shorts that are comfortable, lightweight, breathable, and don’t feel annoying after the first mile. A decent phone pocket would be nice too, but I’d rather have comfort over a bunch of extra features.

For people who run regularly, what running shorts have actually held up for you? Do you prefer lined or unlined, 5 inch or 7 inch, split shorts or regular ones? Any pairs you bought and regretted because they looked good but felt awful on actual runs?

I’m trying to upgrade my work from home setup, but I don’t want to spend a crazy amount on a monitor. I mostly need it for emails, spreadsheets, browser tabs, video calls, and having a few windows open at the same time.

I’m not gaming on it, so I don’t really care about super high refresh rates or fancy features. I just want something that looks clear, doesn’t strain my eyes after a full day, and has enough space that I’m not constantly switching between tabs.

For people working from home, what budget monitor did you buy? Was 24 inches enough, or is 27 inches worth it? Also, is 1080p still fine for work, or should I be looking at 1440p instead?
