      @@thatonemoviebob3902 A chair is a type of seat, typically designed for one person and consisting of one or more legs, a flat seat and a back-rest. They may be made of wood, metal, or synthetic materials, and may be padded or upholstered in various colors and fabrics.
      Chairs vary in design. An armchair has armrests fixed to the seat;[1] a recliner is upholstered and features a mechanism that lowers the chair's back and raises into place a footrest;[2] a rocking chair has legs fixed to two long curved slats; and a wheelchair has wheels fixed to an axis under the seat.[3]
      The chair has been used since antiquity, although for many centuries it was a symbolic article of state and dignity rather than an article for ordinary use. "The chair" is still used as the emblem of authority in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom[6] and Canada,[7] and in many other settings. In keeping with this historical connotation of the "chair" as the symbol of authority, committees, boards of directors, and academic departments all have a 'chairman' or 'chair'.[8] Endowed professorships are referred to as chairs.[9] It was not until the 16th century that chairs became common.[10] Until then, people sat on chests, benches, and stools, which were the ordinary seats of everyday life. The number of chairs which have survived from an earlier date is exceedingly limited; most examples are of ecclesiastical, seigneurial or feudal origin.[citation needed]
      Chairs were in existence since at least the Early Dynastic Period of Egypt (c. 3100 BC). They were covered with cloth or leather, were made of carved wood, and were much lower than today's chairs - chair seats were sometimes only 10 inches (25 cm) high.[11] In ancient Egypt, chairs appear to have been of great richness and splendor. Fashioned of ebony and ivory, or of carved and gilded wood, they were covered with costly materials, magnificent patterns and supported upon representations of the legs of beasts or the figures of captives. Generally speaking, the higher ranked an individual was, the taller and more sumptuous was the chair he sat on and the greater the honor. On state occasions, the pharaoh sat on a throne, often with a little footstool in front of it.[11]
      The average Egyptian family seldom had chairs, and if they did, it was usually only the master of the household who sat on a chair. Among the better off, the chairs might be painted to look like the ornate inlaid and carved chairs of the rich, but the craftsmanship was usually poor.[11]
      The earliest images of chairs in China are from 6th-century Buddhist murals and stele, but the practice of sitting in chairs at that time was rare. It was not until the 12th century that chairs became widespread in China. Scholars disagree on the reasons for the adoption of the chair. The most common theories are that the chair was an outgrowth of indigenous Chinese furniture, that it evolved from a camp stool imported from Central Asia, that it was introduced to China by Christian missionaries in the 7th century, and that the chair came to China from India as a form of Buddhist monastic furniture. In modern China, unlike Korea or Japan, it is no longer common to sit at floor level.[12]
      In Europe, it was owing in great measure to the Renaissance that the chair ceased to be a privilege of state and became a standard item of furniture for anyone who could afford to buy it. Once the idea of privilege faded the chair speedily came into general use. Almost at once the chair began to change every few years to reflect the fashions of the day.[13]
      Thomas Edward Bowdich visited the main Palace of the Ashanti Empire in 1819, and observed chairs engrossed with gold in the empire.[14] In the 1880s, chairs became more common in American households and usually there was a chair provided for every family member to sit down to dinner. By the 1830s, factory-manufactured “fancy chairs” like those by Sears, Roebuck, and Co. allowed families to purchase machined sets. With the Industrial Revolution, chairs became much more available.[15]
      The 20th century saw an increasing use of technology in chair construction with such things as all-metal folding chairs, metal-legged chairs, the Slumber Chair,[citation needed] moulded plastic chairs and ergonomic chairs.[16] The recliner became a popular form, at least in part due to radio and television. In the 1930's, stair lifts were commercially available to help people suffering from Polio and other diseases to navigate stairs.[17]
      The modern movement of the 1960s produced new forms of chairs: the butterfly chair (originally called the Hardoy chair), bean bags, and the egg-shaped pod chair that turns. It also introduced the first mass-produced plastic chairs such as the Bofinger chair in 1966.[18] Technological advances led to molded plywood and wood laminate chairs, as well as chairs made of leather or polymers. Mechanical technology incorporated into the chair enabled adjustable chairs, especially for office use. Motors embedded in the chair resulted in massage chairs.[19]

    Fun Fact, In Half-Life's "media" folder, the music files commonly known as "Dimensionless Deepness", "Steam in the Pipes", "Threatening (Short)", "Traveling Through Limbo" and "Vague Voices" are named "prospero01" to "prospero05", which could imply that the tracks were initially made for Prospero, a cancelled MMO Platformer being made by Valve at the time.

  • @ForgettableYT

    One weird thing I noticed on my own channel: I have an unlisted video with Vague Voices in it, and it got claimed by one artist called "Space Fantasy." In fact, if you look in the description of this video at the time of writing, you'll see the same claim. The song they're claiming, "Nebula Mercury," appears to be a remix of Vague Voices and you can find it on UA-cam. The album is, funnily enough, "UA-cam Takedowns - 2021-01-04 12:15:01
    ". What a strange album name!
    This really does look like they're trying to pass off Vague Voices as their own and use this to gain money from anybody using it in their videos. The weird thing is I can barely find any information on "Space Fantasy" anywhere except the fact that their record label is one called Neostatic Sounds, which is based in Russia.
    I have filed a dispute claim going into detail on how the song I used was not "Nebula Mercury" but was Vague Voices. I will edit this comment whenever I get back on that. In the meantime I encourage anybody reading this to see what you can find about this. If this is properly fraudulent shit, I'd recommend somebody contact Valve, but as the artist is likely from Russia there might not be much we can do about this.
    UPDATE: 30 days have passed and the claim has automatically lapsed. Should anybody who read this have a similar claim, go ahead and contest it. I don't think they care enough to try and rebuke anybody. I could be wrong though, so make sure to cite that you are using vague voices and not "nebula mercury" and even then vague voices is free to use in videos as long as it's non profit.

    • @Mirokiwolf

      Where did you see the name of the album in their upload? Because I couldn't see it anywhere... That was possibly a mistake on their part since the description seems to have been made automaticaly by youtube, they later noticed and changed it.
      Also, have you seen the "related channels" on their Channel? They all seem to be correlated. I'm 90% sure this is some BS to get money off of this kind of uploads...

    Imagine installing Half-Life for the first time, you open the game, and in comparison to its contemporaries at the time, you hear no music; no bombastic sound effects no nothing. Even in the tutorial you hear no music; all of it just feels very quiet, the only sound to get used to is the sound of your footsteps, the opening and closing of the doors, the sounds coming from the place you find yourself in and the voices from the few people you encounter, along with a hologram that gives you pre-written instructions in the hazard course. Once you actually start the game, the first audio you hear is this somber, ominous ambience music right before you find yourself in a tram ride, where you can do nothing but move in it while you wait to arrive at your destination. A prelude of things to come in the very near future.

    I don't remember how long ago I played half-life, about 2 years ago. Today I had a dream, I was a soldier or something and we had like 10 people in squad. I remember we were fighting off the combine overwatch forces and menaged to kill a strider. Unfortunately, everything started to go wrong after it turned out that the rest of the combine forces were probably waiting on the other side, and what we defeated was only the outpost. But the worst thing was that the only possible way out was through a scientific complex called Project 15. There wasn't even a combine in that place, then in my head during sleep this music started to play and I felt terrified of what must be there, that even the combine does not enter there, despite the force that we barely resisted. That's why this music will stick with me for a long time, the very fact that I never listened to it for too long, and yet its buzzing, disturbing sounds stuck so deeply that I heard them in my dream makes it extremely special
