Where is the best place to seat on a bus?

What is the proper posture for sitting in a bus?

Ah, bus posture. It’s less about proper, more about surviving without looking like a pretzel.

• Sit (sort of) upright: Think of yourself as a slightly wilted flower, not a question mark. Shoulders back, but not like you’re auditioning for a military parade. Relaxed, people, relaxed! I once saw a guy doing full-on yoga; don’t be that guy.
• Feet flat…ish: Oh, the luxury! If floor space allows? More like if someone’s backpack allows. Aim for flat. If that fails, dangling is the new flat.
• Slouching? Naturally: Like resisting gravity itself? Avoid it. Hunching? Unless you’re hiding from someone, straighten up. Pretend you’re royalty! Or, you know, just conscious.
• Stand if you dare!: Breaks are divine, yes. Every 20 minutes? Only in a parallel universe where buses aren’t sardine cans. Stretch those legs. If possible. Or just wiggle your toes. Small victories! I tried stretching once and accidentally elbowed a granny. Never again.

So there you have it. Bus posture, a delicate dance between comfort and survival. Good luck out there. The buses are savage.

What does bad sitting posture look like?

Okay, so picture this: It’s 2024, I’m hunched over my laptop, working late at my desk in my tiny apartment in Brooklyn. My neck aches, man, a seriously throbbing ache. My shoulders feel like lead weights. Ugh. Total disaster. That’s bad posture.

I know what bad posture looks like because I’ve lived it, felt it in my bones. Rounded shoulders, head jutting forward, like a turtle. My lower back screams. It’s awful. This happened last Tuesday, actually. I was on a deadline and completely ignored my body. Stupid.

Bad posture is a recipe for disaster. Seriously. My chiropractor, Dr. Ramirez, told me all about it. She said it leads to:

• Neck pain – the worst!
• Back pain – constant, nagging pain.
• Shoulder pain – stiffness is the best word.
• Increased risk of injury. She showed me x-rays. Scary.

I’m trying to fix it now. I bought a new chair, one with lumbar support. It’s helped, slightly, but old habits die hard. I need to stretch more. I even downloaded a posture app! It keeps nagging me. It’s annoying but I’ll take it.

It sucks, honestly. I wish I’d paid attention sooner. Lesson learned. My body is reminding me. Hard. I’m seeing a physical therapist now too. Getting better slowly.

What is positioning accuracy?

Positioning accuracy: A robot’s hit rate. One shot, one kill. Or not.

Repeatability? That’s the sequel. Same spot, multiple tries. Consistency. Robots are fickle.

Think darts. Accuracy: hitting the bullseye. Repeatability: clustering around the bullseye. My 2024 dartboard looks like a Jackson Pollock painting.

• Accuracy: Single-attempt precision. Target hit. Miss. Simple.
• Repeatability: Consecutive attempts. Deviation matters. Variance. Statistical analysis.

High accuracy, low repeatability? A skilled but erratic shooter. My old roommate, Dave. Great first shot, then chaos.

Low accuracy, high repeatability? Consistent error. Predictable, but wrong. Like my attempts at sourdough this year. Always off. Always almost the same way off.

Ideal? Both high. That’s the dream. Robotics utopia. Not my reality. Yet.

Is it better to sit on the floor or chair?

Floor sitting encourages postural dynamism, a stark contrast to the static nature of chair sitting. Yeah, that’s right.

• Chairs: Limited movement, fixed posture, restricted hip/knee range.
• Floor: Postural variety, greater hip range of motion utilization.

Think of it this way, chairs, particularly in my old office in 2023, often lock us into rigid positions. Floor sitting allows for constant micro-adjustments. I mean who wants to feel like a mannequin?

Floor sitting is all about embracing natural movement. But, of course, floor sitting isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It challenges your flexibility. Perhaps both approaches have merit, hmm? Consider the yin and yang of seating, a balance between support and dynamic engagement.
