I mean I guess I use a bit of arm to pivot for large swipes but all medium to fine movements I use wrist.

eat anti inflammatory foods and get ~8 hours of sleep every night to help your wrist heal

if its muscle soreness certain foods have been shown to shorten muscle recovery time and baseline soreness

tart cherry concentrate
pineapple
ginger

I aim exclusively with my wrist at around 30-40cm/360 depending on game and have never had any pain or irritation nor have I ever stretched. I believe eating these foods has a big impact.

make sure your setup/posture isn't fucked

Been waiting for a Toronto LAN for a while now, I’ve never been to a LAN and don’t really have an interest in travelling to the US for one. Who cares if it doesn’t draw many American players. A small LAN with mostly Canadians would be super fun.

I’m in.

hmmm, thanks for the info guys. I am currently running a 2600x with stock cooler + Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 C16 1.35v (advertised for ryzen and was plug and play 3200) on a Gigabyte 450M DS3H. It’s just not cutting it for me, I never see it stay at 4.2 for long. Usually sits just above 4, sometimes 4.1 when gaming. I have the right stuff enabled in bios and use PBO when gaming. Should I try a thermal paste + cooler upgrade? At this point I’m putting all plans on hold. Not sure if it’s worth so much for such a minuscule upgrade. Do I just suck it up, get a nice cooler and hope it stays at 4.2 and spend my money on a nice QHD 144hz monitor?

On that note, are these monitors good choices? Any other recommendation in the CAD$400-$500 price range?

I'm looking to switch from Ryzen to Intel for clock speed. Ryzen just wasn't cutting it in Valorant and TF2 pubs. I need new CPU + cooler, motherboard and RAM. I already have a buyer for my old parts. I was thinking i5 9600k and overclocking to 5GHz. I'm looking to be able to stream TF2, CSGO, and Valorant. I don't need anything fancy for mobo, was happy with my budget Gigabyte Ryzen board. I have a 750W PSU. Budget is ~CAD$600 before tax. Any suggestions?

LMAO actually true

just got tested, been having sharp pains in my lungs, shortness of breath and some other minor symptoms. doctor thinks I have it but we’ll see. 2-5 days for results. lol can’t China do it in like 15 mins? test wasn’t too bad, long thin swab put deep up into your nose. felt weird but didn’t really hurt, I find it funny how like 2 days ago in this thread I had an exchange with someone claiming that canada wasn’t testing people who haven’t travelled recently. I haven’t travelled or been in contact with a confirmed case and they tested me right away. Classic

grocery shopping was great today, barely anyone out. only shortage I see is meat, why would people stock up on meat?

811 is for redirecting and referring patients to testing locations. hospitals and pop up testing stations do the testing, if you show up or call ahead stating respiratory symptoms you are tested for COVID-19. the government can’t force foreign nationals into quarantine. travel ban will likely be necessary.

simply not true. they are testing anyone with respiratory symptoms, people who have been in contact with a confirmed case, and those who have mild symptoms who have recently traveled internationally. testing criteria will likely lighten in the coming days.

International flights will only be permitted to land at a smaller number of airports.
Boats and cruise ships carrying more than 500 people will be banned from docking at Canadian ports until July.
All travellers arriving in Canada from international points are being asked to consider self-isolating for 14 days as a precaution. People arriving from Hubei, China, Iran and Italy already have been asked to self-isolate.
Enhanced screening measures at airports as well as marine, land and rail points of entry (source). likely straight up bans announced sometime today or tomorrow

blatant lie, there is widespread testing available across the country

obviously there will continue to be exponential growth and this likely wont be stopped globally, but as of right now the canadian government has been very diligent and reactive to the current situation. a key figure that tells a big story that you've overlooked is the # of infected per 1M people. canada currently ranks extremely low in this statistic. also canadians are big travelers especially in the winter months and we have huge chinese, iranian, and italian populations.
i think you're vastly overestimating what other countries around the world are doing to try and curb this. at the end of the day theres a solid chance this virus wont be stopped and becomes widespread. at the very least the canadian gov has guaranteed rent, food, and bills support. barely any countries have committed to this.
