What straps do you guys use for sitting down?
For those who use a strap on their Strandberg for seated playing, what do you use?

There's a venue near me that used to be a traditional pub, specialising in craft beers. Several years ago it changed hands and they completely revamped it as a trendy cocktail bar, operating under a different name.
However on Google Maps all the reviews from the old place (which are numerous and overwhelmingly positive) are still there. How do I report this?
All the routes for reporting are very strictly focused on other issues, and I can't find anywhere to report this specific problem, or anywhere where I can write an explanation of the issue
Been keeping this out on my west facing balcony all day in the British heatwave. Just noticed these places at the back where the metal is warped.
It wasn’t like this before. I can only imagine the heat has done this (even though the back side wasn’t facing the sun).
Is this a problem? It can’t be good…
Usyk vs Wilder is pretty much an open secret at this point, but I don't understand why it's taking so long to make.
This should be the easiest fight in the world to make. What's the hold up?
Don't get me wrong, his defence is legitimately poor and his chin is weak. But I feel like people write him off way too much, and hold him to a different (unfair) standard.
All the fighters who've dropped him - Klitschko, Ruiz, Dubois, Prenga - are punchers.
He's been down quite a few times but he gets up, and he keeps fighting. He got off the canvas to stop Klitschko. Ruiz had to drop him 3 times before it was over. Dubois caught him with a monster punch in the first round but he managed to survive until the 5th. The uppercut from Prenga he didn't see coming, and Prenga was holding the back of his head, both factors which amplify the shot. Once again he kept fighting and he got the finish.
Compare that to some of his contemporaries who aren't criticised as much for their knockdowns. Dubois was dropped by Lerena three times in the first round, and by Usyk twice, neither of whom are punchers at all. Wardley dropped him with a grazing shot in the first 10 seconds of the fight.
Fury has been knocked down by Pajkic (who?), Cunningham (a cruiserweight), Wilder multiple times (fair enough), Ngannou (on his boxing debut) and Usyk (again, not a big puncher).
I think part of why people judge AJ more harshly when he's down is because of how panicked he looks. When he's hurt his defence falls apart completely, he seems unable to clinch, his guard is crap. All of that make it look so much worse than other fighters who might hold their shape and their composure better in that situation. It leads people to think he's "washed". But that completely ignore his offence, which still look lethal.
I'm considering buying one of these, but I've seen some concerning reports that it has a fundamental design flaw whereby it retains water, leading to mould.
Can any long term users comment on this?
I own a flat in London and am considering proper AC installation. Anyone here who’s done this can advise?
Should I go with a company that will do an in person survey and full service installation? What sort of price am I looking at for a 1 bed place? Companies make it annoyingly hard to get a simple answer
Update: I have a decent sized balcony, so the outdoor can go there I assume
In the original games you had
Since then the 3D games have played it increasingly safe. Liberty City has been the setting 3 times now, and San Andreas twice. None of them have been set outside of the US, and they're all pretty much set in the preset day, with the exception of Vice City which was all the way back in 2002, and was only set about 15 years prior to its release.
My conspiracy theory is that they don't want to put out remasters of these games as it would reflect poorly on them creatively. Particularly when people play GTA London and GTA 2 they'll think "Why don't Rockstar do weird shit like this any more? Why is every game set in present day US? Why does 3D GTA go back to the same 2 cities over and over again?"
This isn't true at all. He's garnered an immense amount of praise and respect from the boxing community. Let's address some of the talking points:
He was written off before the fight - Yes, and this isn't disrespect, it's just rational. It's not sensible to think that someone from another sport can come into HW boxing and compete against the best HW of this era, and an all-time great. The fact that it was competitive means that Rico did the improbable, for which he's been rightly praised.
He's a boxing novice - That's not a criticism, it's a fact.
On his performance - The boxing world has been absolutely full of praise for Rico and his performance.
On Usyk's performance - Pointing out that it was a bad performance for Usyk isn't disrespect to Rico. Two things can be true at the same time. Rico was great, and Usyk wasn't his usual self.
On the rematch - Denying Rico the rematch (or even just an immediate rematch) isn't disrespect. Rico did nothing to earn the fight with Usyk, it was a gift from Turki. He was jumped to the front of the queue. You know who has earned a shot at Usyk? Kabayel. What about disrespect to him? He's earned that shot through merit in the sport; by fighting for it; by taking and winning risky fights. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the rematch, but not before the Kabayel fight.
I've used eBay for many years now, not as a business or side-hustle, just a regular user selling things now and again. Point is I have a decent amount of experience on the platform.
But I noticed something different recently. In listing a Samsung soundbar and subwoofer I've received messages from 4 different users all trying to lowball me and being quite pushy about it. Like sending multiple messages if I don't reply quickly, not respecting what I say is my "lowest price", trying to create a false sense of urgency like "Please respond, it's a reasonable offer, I can come now, I'm traveling 1.5 hrs" etc. Or asking for my address just because they put in an offer that I haven't even accepted yet.
So I look at their profiles, and all of them have a ton of listings, absolutely full of Samsung soundbars and subwoofers of various models. Like wtf is this? I've sold all kinds of things on eBay, but for some reason a Samsung soundbar specifically attracts these vultures
So I’m back on the dating apps and wanted to check if OKC has changed meaningfully. I used to find it pretty useless as a guy. You’d have to send loads of messages to have any hope of being matched, and women could just sit back and watch the messages roll in. The old “I can’t see like, so message me” in the bio.
Is it still like this?
I just got the Q Acoustics 3090c centre speaker + a pair of 3020's for a home cinema setup. Very happy with them. Now I just need a subwoofer. My default assumption was I'd stick with QA and get their 3060s, but figured I'd shop around first.
Space is at a real premium, so the slim profile of the 3060s is appealing. But then I came across the Cambridge Audio Minx X201, which is tiny and people seem to rate it.
Thoughts? Any other recommendations?
I'm in the UK
