If you're going to get one of these desks I would recommend getting some wire racks to organize the cables as the storage thats available with the legs themselves isn't enough (in my case at least).

That's a pretty nice setup. What kind of chair are you using?

Originally, I was thinking of picking up 2x Alex drawer units (https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/alex-dr...hite-10373037/) from Ikea and placing an Ikea countertop (https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/karlby-...neer-50335208/) on top and call it a day. However, the shipping during the checkout process said it'd take a minimum of 6 weeks

Yes its the steelcase gesture. Picked it up for $1250 at modern office furnishing. Its incredibly comfortable and adjustable. Have not had any back issues since using it for 6 weeks now.

I have been sitting my ass in this chair for like 10-12 hours a day since I'm stuck at home.

I'd say its worth the money but my company covered it so I shouldn't really comment on value.

As you can see I have an alex drawer beside. I was using 1 of those and a simple ikea leg prior to getting the sit/stand desk. I would have stuck with that setup but I figured I would want to stand up working from home every once in a while. Standing is great for when I'm giving webinar presentations.

I've heard some restaurants and bakeries will sell you yeast, I'd call around.

If you guys really need yeast, I can get some. Maybe I could ship a few boxes (about 50g each IIRC) to one person and they can distribute from there?

Christ do we seriously need to be sourcing and shipping every little thing from across town and around the world right now? Yeast is not an essential item. Bread is in abundant supply. Get a different hobby in the interim.

Dude it's all about baking bread and watching Tiger King while getting drunk.

Then use your hoarded abundance of TP the next morning to wipe the road tar that musically shot out your flesh bassoon.

IMO people are free to cope however they want, as long as it is within proper social distancing and stay-home practices. I don't see how anyone would even consider telling people to "get a new hobby to do at home" in these times

If anyone needs yeast, I was at the Kingsway & Wellingdon Save on Foods earlier today. They had these 3-pak yeast selling for $1.99, and there were quite a few of them.

It seems hella expensive for just 3 tiny packs of yeast. I'm just gonna stick to buying the grocery stores' baked in-house type of stuff until they run out of bread to sell.
