Another solution is not using the shit fest that is Windows 10.

My eyeball just became horrendously itchy for a moment. I think something must have got in it, but it wasn't painful, just itchy in the extreme.

[scriver]

My balls itch too sometimes.

You and half the male population of The Witcher universe it seems...

[Dragofire]

Er yes. I actually am not aware of what my other personalities do unless they write it down or someone else tells me.

[Mathel]

Well, that sounds like a real problem. One, which would make real life communication troublesome, because you do not remember what you said or heard yesterday. It would also make it easy to lock accounts to personalities by just not selecting the "stay logged on" option anywhere and not writing passwords down.

Fakeedit: And why use online forums for arguments? Notepad, be it a physical one or the program, would work just as well.

I suggest investing in some "finger cots": plastic, rubber or woolen finger protectors. Bandages may also help. You'll have a hard time using the finger to tap or grip for a while, yes, but the skin will heal over and a new nail will most likely grow back.

Nah, build your own, better, fingernails out of broken glass and roofing tar.

While I'm not a doctor and I'm pretty sure wierd is some kind of medic, and I know professionals do sometimes use things like superglue, I really, really don't think you're meant to superglue things to any part of yourself. Particularly not the rather vulnerable nail bed.

I think enough people know that it was intended to be used for medical stuff that they just do it. The reason it isn't a good idea is it can damage tissue and lead to worse scarring. I think there's a more expensive version available medically that works the way people think regular superglue works.

It's also generally a good idea to consult doctors for your medical advice. Not wannabes.

Coward.

Linux is free.

Fixing it in Windows is free also, if you're that technical.

The real reason is cited in the first link I gave to science direct;  Ordinary superglue is not very flexible, and leads to inflammation reactions when used in place of sutures, which is why medical grade cyanoacrylates were developed. (They have a different longchain formulation that results in a more flexible complex.)

Since this is a fingernail, and NOT say-- an elbow-- it should be fine.

[Mephisto]

Is "it should be fine" really the bar that you try to clear when dealing with medical shit?

[wierd]

Given it's just a fingernail, and not appendicitis, yeah.

Unless he has not been forthcoming and has diabetes, HIV, is on chemo, or is otherwise immune-compromised. In which case, losing the nail is a medical emergency.

Again, the degree of toxicity is equivalent to getting it on your skin. The complex itself is actually biologically safe. It's the product released during polymerization that are potentially toxic. This is why medical grade stuff has long chain complexes (octyl cyanoacrylates, usually.)  Don't eat the stuff, and don't use it to treat deep wounds.  A minor lasceration? Fine.  A broken fingernail? Fine. Deep tissue injury? No.

The solvent used for commercial "Liquid skin" is also potentially toxic.

Knowing what you are using is important to using it correctly.

[TamerVirus]

Don't eat the stuff

Oh so you're a licenced dietician now, too?

Well, it DOES say not to ingest on the bottle...

I just saw the same ad four times in a row on Crunchyroll.
