Anyone know if you can 'ground' a standard plastic floor mat ? I have one at work, and every time I roll my chair over it, my iPod clicks like a rattlesnake, as it slowly deals with the static charge I just built up. I'd love to be able to, I dunno, hook a wire from that mat into the ground pin on the nearest electrical outlet, and send all those angry electrons straight back to the earth.
Anyone know if that will work ?
Did you read the Josh Trevino, Jeff Goldstein, HTML Mencken comments on that SN! thread you linked to at ObWi? Jeebus.
Trevino is a pathetic lunatic.
Try a jumper to a chassis ground like a screw, or put rubber bands from a suitably sized inner tube on the chair wheels to insulate it.
I’ve got a great way to do it but you need a Prince Albert, boyo.
a Prince Albert
hmmm. i guess a little crackle in the ears isn’t so bad.
