Yes, trackball is better. I have been using one since 2007. I started doing
that because of a problem with my ulnar nerve. That's the one that gives
feeling to the little finger, half the ring finger and part of the palm.
It's pretty much what happened to you, but with the nerve on the other side
of my arm. I had it partially trapped in the elbow and wrist, plus a issue
at the origin in the shoulder. 6 months of trackball, and I was back to
normal.
I've been wearing a similar brace for years. I thought it was carpal tunnel
until recently when I started noticing more pain and a lump. Turns out it
was a ganglion cyst (when the synovial casing splits and a pouch of joint
fluid forms a cyst that bulges between the wrist bones). Surgery was last
month. I also like using a trackball. It is much less strain on the palm,
wrist, fingers, and forearm.
Last time I went rollerblading I ended up splayed out at the bottom of a
hill and had to pick the asphalt out of my right knee and shin. A car had
pulled out right in front of me and at a split-second, it was go down or
take out the car. I took the choice with less personal damage! Your very
smart wearing your brace, no sense in chancing further damage for sure.
Do you notice a difference since you've been wearing it? I have it as well,
from crochetting and being a traditional artist in general (wow doesn't
help much pretty sure lol!) Perhaps looking into a brace myself would
extend my capabilities with hook work and penciling, which is what normally
gets it mega sore >
@TozWozEar It seems to me that we're talking about important issues in a
lot of these vids, and these ideas are by no means perfect; if I stood
aloof and did not interact with my viewers, how could either of us ever
truly learn anything? Interaction seems more than warranted. :)
I prefer it when you call us "Evil Geniuses" . It makes me feel...evil. And
also like I'm part of a group...or a cult. And I like being uniqe. Oh well.
Anyways, I hope people stop asking about your brace now, it has probably
become annoying to explain it so many times.
I have suffered RSI from overmousing at the computer: Of all the solutions
offered (physiotherapy, acupuncture, drugs) the one that solved it was to
swap hands for a few months. A bit awkward to mouse otherhanded at first,
but it worked! agj
Track balls seem to be going the way of the parallel port, as I went to
replace a worn out Logitech and none like I had are available. A single
pricey one was all I could find in stores. Track balls seem to reduce my
wrist issues.
If you increase your mouse speed quite high, you only have to nudge your
thumb and finger and never have to slide the mouse around the mousepad.
There's no wrist movement at all, and you get used to the new speed quite
quickly.
Been there, done that. College, I had to wear a brace from all the 'note
taking' I did. I was also diagnosed with tendinitis. And to answer your
question, track balls are WAY better than a mouse, for the entire arm too.
I sometimes get very painful wrists, although it's rarer these days. But
when it happens, it completely sucks, as I can't really use that hand at
all due to the pain. I'm pretty sure I've got weak / sensitive wrists.
@BionicDance I had a friend in banking who used to wear one very similar to
yours, and for the same reason. Does the brace help give it a chance to
heal, or does it just keep it from getting worse?
This has nothing to do with anything but I was just about to go
rollerblading and I decided to watch one last youtube video before I left
and this just happened to be it
@Trips1103 Heh. No. I go through one or two a year, so it wouldn't
last...though I suppose I could replace the velcro instead of getting a new
one each time...
I've actually heard that there's some surgery you can do to relieve the
symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Of course, prevention is always a smart
idea.
Yeah, I don't care about people being gay etc.
I do find it disgusting myself but it's just ones taste and it's laughable
when someone says the disgust shouldn't be a thing.
I dislike, say canned spinach. When I see someone eating canned
spinach/think about eating canned spinach myself I am disgusted. To use a
specifically more sexual example, I think feet are disgusting and would be
disgusted to watch someone suck someone else's toes.
Doesn't mean I think the people who do want to do those things are bad
and/or shouldn't be allowed to do so, I'm just not going to join them.
Which is fine because they're not forcing me to when they want to be
treated equally (and hey, if someone even asks me to - which I have had a
couple times in the past - the word "no" exists for a reason).
Unfortunately the religious idiots think their gory fairy tales give them
the right to say other people shouldn't eat the canned spinach because they
don't want to.
Now I will also admit I technically think gay marriage shouldn't be a
thing, but only in the fact that I consider all marriage useless and think
it should be removed entirely. Particularly any powers associated with it
in the law/governments of the world due to religion.
I didn't want to hit like because it was on 69 licks I mean likes. But I
had to like.
Lets clear some christians misconception about health. It is in no way
wrong or flawed to be a homosexual there is no evidence for this there is
no health concerns about it, it can be explained with science and nobody
has a excuse or reason to be upset by it. They act like they have never
seen all the adult bits and pieces. So christians if you watch and read
this there you go you have no reason to believe homosexuals are sinners and
evil.
On YouTube I don't usually watch videos about bibles, god, jesus and other
religion Butt ( | ) I am not against all religion because I am not the
kind of guy who always against everything if you understand I'm just a guy
who would understand about most people talk about I'm not against it I only
understand it and won't be apart of other peoples society like I said I'm
just a guy with no explanations apart how life goes and what religion has
to be believed on like I said I am not against everything
According to the bible we are all sinners. I mean, how insulting can they
get?
And anyone stupid enough to quote from the bible to make a point should at
least learn the language it was written in, then go and find the original
version -- if he can. Camels though needles indeed!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! ! WHEN I AM OLD! some of you know where im going with

Abbott scholarship whistleblower escapes jail
Frey Newman, who accessed the student records of Prime Minister Tony Abbott's daughter, revealing that Frances Abbott had been granted a secret scholarship ...
Should just plaster Whitehouse with posters saying "ask about our
scholarships"... That way, they can say that their scholarships ARE being
promoted and the everything is now above board.
Christopher Pyne makes Nazi analogy - WAINGAFAT Wednesday
I have a feeling this is going to get very stupid. Pyne backs away from Nazi remarks ...
Just going to play devils advocate for a second here, having seen downfall,
I think that it was a fairly accurate way to argue his point, but explained
in a really poor/insensitive manner. What Pyne was (probably) trying to say
was that Julia Gillard is cracking under stress, losing her mind, and will
be out of office quite soon. The scene in Downfall just happened to be a
good display of that. Perhaps a better analogy would have been the insanity
of Macbeth, but hindsight is 20/20.
Not bloody likely. With the majority of voting Australian bogans being
brainwashed sheep that honestly swallowed Abbott's load of hateful 'Juliar'
spite, I'd say the chances of Labor remaining in power is slim. It's quite
amazing that people will vote for a guy who only solid policy is never
ending negativity and muckraking of the other party. Then again, Abbott
appeals to the very strong demographics of misogynistic,
ultra-conservative, religious, xenophobic boofheads and bogans.
People need to stop whinging about historical events like the holocoaust
and white settlement of australia. It is unlikely that they have been or
met someone who has been personally affected by it, and bringing political
correctness type arguments in and sooking is an obnoxious and unecessary
'antidote' for the unjustified amount of butthurt these people posses.
Strange enough, Many Nazi Actions were more right wing than left and before
I get shot down for that, I do know that Hitler's party was supposed to be
left wing. I'm not saying that right wing is automatically Nazi either just
to qualify. Ah fuck it, if you want to be offended you will be any way so
I'll just await the backlash for my comment.
You are an ignorant douche. Try walking into any nursing home, or even
talking to some elderly people, and you'll soon find many have been
affected by the holocaust. You honestly believe that having you're entire
family wiped out, and being the sole survivor dealing with nightly terrors
is 'unjustified butthurt'... Fuck You!
I'm sorry mate but all of our current political pundits and all of our
politicians are about as useful and beneficial as tits on a bull. Honestly
if every politician in Australia was herded into an arena and set on fire I
wouldn't waste a single squirt of piss to put any of them out.
well at least hitler and nazi is considered something bad in there. In
Turkey, whenever there's a Muslim/Jewish conflict, people start posting
Hitler sayings, like "one day u'll curse me for every Jew I didn't kill",
or Hitler photos saying "I understand Hitler better now"
the problem with labour not getting back in as government, is they are
still the lesser of 2 evils, we can desperately hope that another party
gets government but that's not likely, I'll just have to hope that abbot is
enough of an ass to put people off of voting liberal
You're doing a good job, you are very much a troll. As for Excuse, I spend
a fairly short amount of time on youtube in the evening. You can say more
if you like but I'm done with you, I've better things to do and have wasted
too much time on you already.
Yep, at the same time, HOPE that all the voting bogans, LNP sycophants, and
xenophobic old farts pining for the 'good ole days' just die before the
next election... but that would mean that 2/3 population just keels over.
Stranger things have happened!
Have to disagree with you there, Angry, that the crazy opposition are a
shoe-in. I don't read the crappy newspapers out there and there are more
smart people than stupid people. They're just not as loud as the idiots.
the masses of unsuccessful idiots should vote out the goverment and turn
your country into a cesspool of ex welfare recipients and liberal
progressives. Because the USSR has already been forgotten.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they were a left wing outfit. It's the
name that I was talking about. They were, in my opinion, really beyond left
or right wing politics, they were just evil.
You have been seriously misled. Just because Nazi is a contraction of
"National Socialist". Nobody with a clue about history or politics has ever
called them left wing.
