I already peeled a big flake off before I thought the degenerates at /popping might want to see what peeling the epithelium off my exposed nailbed is like. You can see where the first big flake is missing and pinker epithelium is exposed

I lost this thumbnail over 40 years ago and have had this keratinized epithelium ever since. A layer of dry horny skin forms and the bigger pieces flake off pretty cleanly. Edges and parts that aren't as thick yet need a little assistance to peel off

The bottom right corner grows a tiny tiny sliver of thumbnail which you can read more about in one of my previous wacky Wednesday posts

Last photo is a few days later and the nailbed is much less pink and more keratinized

Will do until I can get a bigger screen (that can actually go 4:3) or even some real CRTs

The pinball games are few and far between on this system, just a couple 80s/90s 2d games with few play fields each.

Sonic spinball too but the button layout is whack 😆 I'll fix that sometime soon

Picked up a Pandora Box DX at a yard sale

Hardware is decent enough for a hands-on arcade feel, and there's a whole bunch of retro beat em ups I have never played, including this old gem, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon

My goal now will be to find & finish all the best em ups stashed among the 3000+ games on this console .. and maybe find a nice CRT...

From a FB listing for an estate sale. Hopefully I can just go pick it up on the weekend but I'm dying to figure out what kind of board and sticks could be in here

With extra fried mushrooms, bacon, and commercial hash browns on the side

Mushrooms are foraged yellow boletes and a king bolete or two

Foraged cleaned and grilled by yours truly 😁 hike to table

These wild porcini, aka king bolete, penny buns, boletus edilus were brushed with neutral oil and spices and salt and grilled. They turned a surprising golden orange colour and developed a nice crispy skin

Served with chilli & lime grilled pork

The skin turned bright orange and crispy!

Foraged and grilled to perfection

I did not know they would turn such a bright orange!

No dentist this time, I got this piece out for free!

Much smaller than the previous bit, size comparison in the final pic

Jawbone flake, I have all my wisdom teeth and never had any dental surgery

Beautiful lady

Lost 95% of my thumbnail 40 years ago due to an infection as a child. Old news.

Was picking the nailbed scar, it always had a single needle thin nail remnant that grew and needed trimming. I've picked small bits of nail material from here for forever

There was a small feeling of release at the top but the majority of the nail strip came out with no resistance. Has a little wispy strip too.

Weeks of dental pain and a sharp edge protruding 1cm below my gumline. Finally got to the dentist today and he was able to remove this very sharp piece of jawbone.

The dentist gave it a wiggle and asked if it hurt(nope) but took several tries to get a good grip. Nothing but pure relief when it came out!

The dentist was very confused until I explained this isnt the first time this happened, but this fragment is significantly larger than the last one and thicc. Enjoy! (Canadian dime for scale)

ps; I haven't had any dental work or extractions and have all my wisdom teeth. this is from TMJD and bruxism and crunching the fuck out of hard candy

Was a good one
