Gross alert.
I've had a wart thing at the tip of my middle finger that goes slightly under my fingernail...has been there for about 45 years. Have been to the doc a few times and they've attempted to freeze it but has never worked. Have used topical wart remover ointment, but that hasn't really worked either. I always applied it for a few days then stopped. So a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd keep applying the oinment for a week or so and see how that went.
Well fuck me!
The tip of my finger is now inflamed and just about the most intense pain of my life. It's not infected but I suspect the ointment has managed to kill most of the wart and kept going until it's hit nerve. absolutely excruciating! If you press into the tip of one of your fingers with a nail, you can feel how sensitive it is.
I'm hoping to hell the dead wart will just fall away and the inflamed nerve will settle down. Otherwise no doubt I'll be off to the doc...probably to have my finger chopped off.
The fucker is absolutely throbbing right now!
- Two questions, and you don't have to respond to them if they are too personal.garbage

- 1. Did you mean 4-5 or 45?
2. Any periungual warts that persist that long could be associated it an immunodeficiency or HPV.garbage - 1. 45
2. It's apparently not a periungual wart. Some other type. Have had it checked a bunch of times...treatment has never worked though.BusterBoy - My FIL has said to treat properly, I'd need to have the nail removed and then treated...but I've never bothered.BusterBoy
- It doesn't normally hurt at all and is pretty much invisible unless you look closely. Not one of the gross looking warts.BusterBoy
- My FIL is a doctor by the way.BusterBoy

- I had two friend that parts of fingers. One said they thought the nail was gone but it was not so he his a stub fingernail.eryx
- Second was this awesome pipefitter chicken that got it crushed in a blind. It is not going to have a nail but you can tattoo that shit on if you wanteryx
- Also a buddy of mine just set fire to his hand in a freek accident. His index finger on right hand is fucked. Might be a removal, we don't know.eryx
- What i am saying is that its going to be fine, lot of people loose fingers and just keep going. At least it is not your thumb.eryx
- I was just yankin yer chain about chopping it off! LOLBusterBoy

- I had a wart on a finger as a teen which I got rid of by taking a stanley blade to it every few days. Scoured that fucker right off.Nairn

Just popped out of my studio for literally 3 minutes, come back in and computer's off. I swear under my breath at it having crashed, so I've likely lost a wee bit of work, but whatever.
Turn it back on and oh.
Oh dear. it's not turning back on. This likely isn't good..
Cue 10 minutes of panic, removing computer from place, so I can check innards, then a hoover to clean interior etc etc.
No burning smells from the inside, so not a fucked PSU or capacitor on the board - could it be just...?
it's the plug's fuse.
PHEW.
Now I've got to find a 10AMP fuse (not sure I've even heard of a 10amp fuse) as all I have are normal 3, 5 and 13 amp fuses. Could probably risk the latter, but given the machine's just chanced it, I think I'd bette rnot push my luck.
Longshort - back up, kids!

Instead I went to an actual shop.Nairn - lol nairnfadein11

a few friends haven't been coming around because they spend time with immuno compromised people. so, my bubble is expanding for Halloween. we all waited an hour and a half to get tested at the dodger stadium drive through. my group is expanding from 4 to 8 just for one night! it wasn't as big of a pain in the neck as I thought. I didn't even leave the car and we all conference called in from our cars to complain about the line together. this is our present and future. unbelievable.

This guy stutters more than anyone I know. Can someone explain to me what he's talking about at 7:20? What benefit? What harm to society? Give concrete examples plz?
- An externality is an economics concept that basically means: an output that isn't reflected in the cost of the goods.nb
- Example: a coal energy plant produces energy (profit) and uses up coal, which costs money. It also produces air pollution, but there is no cost to pollute.nb
- The coal company doesn't pay anything to pollute the air. An externality! But there is a "cost" to society: the air gets worse the more energy they produce.nb
- Using his argument, the energy produced is a "benefit" overall even with the cost of coal. But the pollution is a "harm" because it's not accounted for.nb
- He also says this situation ("unreasonable profit") encourages more pollution (in my example of the coal plant.) He calls it a forcing function, but that's notnb
- really the right term, in my opinion. It's just an "incentive", not a "forcing function." But that's just nit-picking.nb
- As he says "this is basically Economics 101"nb
- Hmmm I guess he's saying that if you make a tax to create the incentive or the disincentive then that counts as a forcing function. Which is true, I suppose.nb
- Maybe he's stuttering because this is a painfully rudimentary talk to be giving at the Sorbonne??nb
- ok, so the "harm to society" is the burning of coal, which cost €4 as an example. I had completely forgotten it costs money to go extract the coal and pay somecherub
- pay someone a wage to burn it.cherub
- thxcherub
- What? No! the production of energy counts as a benefit. The harm is that society (or the market) has not placed a value on the externality.nb

Do you think Office Depot or Starbucks or random stores in the mall ever have trouble finding people to work?
Are there an endless supply of people who have no interests that want to sell staplers at 9am on a Sunday?

So I decided to try and cut away some of the dead skin on my gross wart...it's been bloody sore and I thought it must have been the wart ointment getting onto a nerve or something,
So I start a small snip with some nail clippers and BOOM. Out pours the (look away now) putrid pus. Absolutely gross...no wonder the fucker was sore!
So I guess it's to the doc next and probably a course of antibiotics.
- I probably should end the story here. Not sure why I posted...Apologies.BusterBoy
- No please, update us... it's improving at timesOBBTKN
- LOL. Well it feels SO much better right now that it's been emptied. Just hoping it doesn't fill again with muck.BusterBoy
- AARGH JESUS!!!Projectile
- You took pics, didn’t you?
I’ll bet you took pics, knowing QBN would hound you for them.Continuity - Ah, here we go. The wart is back on the front page! :DContinuity
- Pus ??? yummy !!!i_was
- Pus update...nothing new. Feels better. Again, apologies for the gross post.BusterBoy

Love me some good old movies in dark & rainy days - better in the candlelight - The Night of the Hunter (1955) - good for the soul, not so heavy on your senses, loved the gorgeous cinematography with a simple story.
- Absolutely love Night of the Hunter. Every shot is perfect. Got to see it on the big screen a couple of years ago.fadein11
- I had to pause so many times to get the screenshots. At one point, I said - Again?. Feel so good when I find these gems from so long ago. Got more @fade?helloeatbreathedrive
- Good list here - https://www.tcm.com/…helloeatbreathedrive
- These are so good. Totally see remixes of these in Lucas, Spielberg, Brad Bird, and moremisterhow
- Never seen this but love the stills abovemg33
- Masterpiecespl33nidoru
- @mg Cinematography was great - a bit more patience is required with old flix - acting/story may drag but I enjoy the quietness, simplicity and art direction.helloeatbreathedrive
- Original Cape Fear is similar feel but cinematography, although good, not as good as this.fadein11
- This is one of the greatest films of all time, criminally underrated. Mitchum was a fucking force in this one. The duet scene? Still gives me chills.garbage
- this is why I love QBN._niko
- Undoubtedly one of my favorite films of all time. The only film ol' Captain Bly Charles Laughton ever directed. Finally getting the recognition it deserves ...Khurram
- Number 2 in the prestigious Cahiers du Cinema best films of all time behind Citizen Kane https://www.icheckmo…Khurram
- You missed that shot where he's in the attic berating his wife and the beams of the house cast a shadow like the crucifix. Terrifying scene.Khurram
- @_niko ... I was just thinking the same thing.ayport
- If you have kids, show them while they're young (fine after 8 or 9 I'd say). They will forever remember and cherish it.spl33nidoru

No way i’m gonna let corona ruin Halloween trick-or-treating for the neighborhood kids this year.
We’re doing a western theme. Dressing up like cowfolk (so we can wear masks and gloves), setting up a projection screen in the yard playing midget western “Terror of Tiny Town”, and manning a free bar “saloon” for adults. All the usual lighting and fog effects. Top-shelf candy to make up for the smaller volume kids may be getting overall.
Even if no one comes by at least one house put in the effort
- just ask them to wear a mask...grafician
- oh waitgrafician
- also did you knew Xmas was a pagan holiday, just like Halloween lolgrafician
- lolmoldero
- Yeah, we celebrate the winter solstice herescarabin
- scarabin just don't mess those kids' concept of halloween...grafician
- don't go full mummy on them lolgrafician
- Are you suggesting i cancel the strippersscarabin
- no, just ask them to wear a mask damn :))grafician

What a beautiful day..
Even though I just inserted my hand in the path of a 40watt Co2 laser running at near full power, trying to quickly adjust a piece.
The subtle, pervasive aroma not unlike a backyard steak cook-off.
still a beautiful day...
- burgers?grafician
- ouch. also - how the fuck? did you disable the safeties? tsssk.Nairn
- Top tip for laser users: If you're on Ibuprofen/Advil - DON'T look at the cut, even through protective layers. Close your eyes, press pause, then check.Nairn
- yep, should have pressed pause. lolfuturefood
- also, we disabled the sensors so you can open the lid while cuttingfuturefood
- I've never once physically interacted with the beam in the 10 plus years i've been dicking around with it. I'm actually a little surprised to realise.Nairn
- eh - I'm serious about the Ibuprofen thing, FF, btw. For the operator and anyone coming close to the machine whilst it's cutting.Nairn
- ^ damnGnash
- yea, never again. hahafuturefood
- few days ago i took some Ibuprofen, which i rarely ever use. I wasn't operating the laser that day. What happens? retinas detach? im afraid to know!futurefood
- it can partially blind you. happened to me last year, so now i have this tiny irritating squiggle in my left eye. bit of a fucker.Nairn
- i had a terrible flu, worst I've felt forever (not covid, sadly), but had to work, so took Ibu and came in. Checked machine as I have a thousnd times andNairn
- when i walk away i realise there's a small imprint of the last 0.5s worth of cutting. Shit happens sometimes. But this time, it didn't go away.Nairn
- panicked. did a load of research. turns out Ibu does this in certain instances anyway, but i'm guessing the intensity of the [shielded] light was enoughNairn
- so burgers?!grafician
- to fuck things up permanently. It's a lot better now (I struggle to see it in normal conditions), but if I close my right eye and focus on it, it's there.Nairn
- so burgers with pickles?!grafician
- whoa, thanks for heads upfuturefood
- Do not look into laser with remaining eye" and all that! °)Nairn
- What's a good laser cut machine to start ?i_was
- engraving / cut machinei_was
- If you're starting out, join a hackerspace and familiarise yourself with whatever machine they have. After that, outsource, after you're making money, then askNairn
- ..that question. Your need dictates the machine - 'good' would be at least £5-10K+ these days.Nairn
- Decent etching requires a 'Good' machine. Most machines can cut well - even shitty Chinese ones. You just slow things down.
Quick and Good = £££Nairn - I got one of those blue chinese ones and it broke within a month. No support or service. Most expensive paperweight i ever boughtscarabin
- ha. I was so worried when I first saw those!
I thought "that's it, I'm irrelevant".
Thankfully not. Just yet.
I give it another 2½ years... .Nairn - You s ound like you've got the smarts to fix it and improve on it, though? Is the tube fucked? Everything else should be hackable.Nairn
- Do you have an air extractor on your machine ? they say it's important.i_was
- Is this good : https://tinyurl.com/… ?i_was
- yes, of course you have an extractor - it's a burny thing.Nairn

Cut out of work to go ride a local trail, had a corner lined up and came in pretty hot. Caught a patch of banana peel slick Ontario autumn leaves and had a 15' slide on my side.
Get up, side coated in what I thought was mud - nope, horse shit.
I get home and the kid says "Daddy smell like Lexi's poo".
Happy friday.
