I've been using my dining table chair and my ass is getting sore from all the time spent on it. What's everyone doing for office chairs? Any suggestions for something that's got a good price/performance ratio? I'm not looking to spend a crazy amount of money for a Steelcase or Herman Miller chair :dead:

Seems to be really popular on redflagdeals I bought one for $179 when it was on sale but have not used it yet.

This code should give you $20 off. 93258

My wife's mechanical keyboard and mouse are both louder than mine.. she also has RGB enabled on both in Rainbow mode of course. I don't even have RGB and she doesn't even game Kreygasm

I'm probably gonna get that if it goes on sale. Was waiting for the Autonomous Ai to drop in price but I missed the boat on the Best Buy sale last month.

I bought it for $160 after tax when it was on sale and I also used a coupon code. They usually have a 50% off chair sale at least once a year, maybe more. When I bought it it was mid-May.

I have laminate flooring and the original rollers were loud enough to bug me, so I ended up buying these rollers (https://www.staples.ca/products/7498...rs-black-5pack) which were definitely worth the extra investment. The chair is pretty much silent now when I roll.

There is also the hack/mod (https://imgur.com/a/XwE7F) where you mod the head rest to make it more comfortable if you have a longer torso since the stock height could be pressing into your upper back.

My friends are firing up Left 4 Dead 2. We haven't played in almost 10 years. We were mowing down hordes at the highest difficulty. Now, we can barely manage normal difficulty. haha.

Nothing too crazy.. Gloves on. Lysol wipe down all shipping boxes outside then Lysol wipe all contents of said box inside while unpacking.

Recycle/throw away cleaning and shipping materials as the contents dry. Wash hands for 20 seconds. Put everything away after the packaging is dry and then I’m done.

Anyone know a good place to run in Burnaby that isn't on cement? A real track and field for example?

The only ones that I know of that aren't cement are the ones at Confederation Park or at Burnaby Central.

DragonChi 03-28-2020 05:08 AM

Bear creek park has a rubber (?) track.

Not quite Burnaby but Mercer Stadium in New West if you feel like driving there.

Haha Letterkenny was probably a primary reason I signed up for this. Started watching on a flight (remember those?) and got hooked.

SFU has a track if it isn't too far. It'd be nice for a drive with low gas prices?

Lol you can literally see all the tracks on Google Satellite. North, Central, Confederation, etc

Badhobz 03-28-2020 11:01 AM

It’s so muddy. Why wouldn’t you want to run on cement? Besides substantial damage to your knees lawl.

fliptuner 03-28-2020 11:24 AM

They're not dirt tracks. Come to think of it, most soccer fields in my area would be good for running

Ikeas Markus chair always gets good reviews, I'm not sure if they're open? But you can find open box ones at time for a lot less, friend got one like that

Anyone know of anyone first hand of getting a physical distancing ticket? I think the fine is $1000. I haven't heard of anyone I know actually getting one.
