    I think an arch user would know to wear the antistatic band on the wrist that’s grounded… but maybe that’s just me. /pretentious_sniff

      Trust me, there is no need for that nowadays, most components have serious anti-static protection in them.

          Yeah, do agree. Grounding your wrists has been pretty much obsolte for the past 20 years or so. In the 80’s, 90’s, yeah, it was preferable that you’re grounded.

      I just quickly touch the earth pin in the nearest outlet. I don’t think it does anything, but it can’t hurt either.
