- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

How do you get exercise at the keyboard? I don't think typing is consuming enough calories or exercising the body in any meaningful way.

Sitting or standing isn't really that big a difference. I guess the treadmill keyboard could do things. It would probably also increase injuries many folds as things on the screen(s) could be so distracting that you fall over and hurt yourself -- I have seen such things at a gym with people running/jogging on treadmills and someone comes up and starts talking to them from behind; they turn; and then fall in a oddly brutal way.
It's probably best to split the two. Keyboard time, non-keyboard time. Not combining them into one.

I think these are just for slow pacing but I never tried any of these myself so I wouldn't know really.

There's a blog/video somewhere of someone with an (exercise-) bicycle powered laptop and light. If you don't pedal, you run out of power, and doing things that take a lot of cpu means you have to pedal harder. The laptop battery allows you to take short breaks, but you need to keep the average output at or above consumption, which is not easy.

My current sig says it:
My New Years resolution for 2025: DON'T MAKE A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION FOR 2025! That way, I can't break it.
This might finally be the first year I don't break my new years resolution.

My New Year's resolution is to not make any New Year's resolutions.
Have I made one, and have I broken it as soon as it is made?

I read DannyB's posting after I posted mine. In my defence I have made the same paradox for many years now.
The psychology of New Year's resolutions are interesting. Gym businesses depend on people making resolutions and breaking them quickly.

It's a pointless exercise. You want to quit smoking? Why wait until the end of the year? Lose weight? They have drugs for that. Exercise more? Just fucking DO it!
New Year's resolutions are a pointless crowd-following activity. I sometimes jokingly say I resolve to not stop smoking pot and drinking, or I resolve to eat every day, etc.
And they lived happily ever after.
