two things are infinite: the like rating and the agree rating. ultimately you have to agree with yourself on which to give to a post, yet occasionally you gaze back at the times when the informative rating would have prevailed.
Chevy should've released a 20th Anniversary Silverado with one one color option: silver. But ofc they missed that opportunity
I just stapled my fucking left thumb while de-jamming the stapler. It feels a bit numb, and surprisingly little blood. The staple went ALL THE WAY DOWN my thumb.
There are some things I just never want to read. This is one of those things: That sounds incredibly painful and reading your post has burned that mental image into my mind for the past hours. Hope you can feel better.
The way I typed it exxagerated it lol. You know how the staple's shape is a long line, which then 90° turns into two parallel, shorter lines? Okay, the part that stabbed me was one of the parallel lines, which went all the way until it reached the 90° turn. I removed it, put some desinfectant on my hands that's all. Finger felt a little bit numb. It went back to normal after that. Moral of the story: Be VERY careful with staplers. This is the stapler that jammed, and later on impaled my thumb: --- Post updated --- It was painless somehow. Logically, that'll trigger the heck out of the nerves. But it didn't one way or the other.
There was one time in middle school I was walking laps around our gymnasium. It was a cheap school, so the gym had the drama/choir stage in it, inset in the wall opposite the bleachers. Out of sheer inattentive boredom I started dragging my hand across the edge of the stage as I walked past it, even curling my fingers so that my fingernails were scraping the surface, palm side first. The stage being a wooden stage, in poor condition, with the grain of the wood parallel to my walking direction: you can probably guess what happened next. A loose chip of wood, around 2-3mm x 8mm (a guesstimate, it was a while ago) burrowed itself under the nail of my ring finger and snapped off the stage. It was driven into the nail bed pretty well, holding place until I got home several hours later and pulled it with tweezers. It hurt like a mother going in and for a while after, but weirdly didn't hurt at all on being pulled out. Maybe there weren't any nerves left at that point.
I remember when I was around 12 I got stung by a bee right in a nerve in my foot. I made the mistake of cutting the stinger with a toenail cutter trying to cut it. That hurt real bad.
Oh, yeah. With anything like that, you're usually better trying to pull the object out with tweezers, rather than break it apart. Cutting it could result in the embedded part of the object getting stuck in the body for an extended period, resulting in extra irritation that lasts for much longer. Fun fact: If Wikipedia is to be believed, these guys are used as surgical staples in some emergency situations.
Jeez. The worst finger injury I got was jamming my finger while practicing dribbling. I guess the ball recoiled too fast and I didn't have my hand in the proper form, so the ball hit my right ring finger and jammed it. I only had to wear a wrap for about a month and the injury itself happened over a year ago but I can still kinda feel the damage.
