Do not microwave a hard boiled egg to heat it up. It will explode while heating or worse, explode in your face once you put a fork in it. Lesson learned.

Ooh. Like me being disappointed it wasn't written in such a way as to be easily understood.
:laughing:~ Chance
So, where did your egg explode?
Was this sans shell? Got any pictures? :laughing: ~ Chance
Yeah that doesn't sound good. Wonder if poking a couple holes in the egg would have prevented the explosion?
I learned the hard way to make sure you're walking through a doorway and not into a wall in the middle of the night trying to get to the bathroom haha. I was pretty sure I was in the right spot but apparently not. Hitting my head woke me up fast!

Let's say you have a favorite fixed-blade knife. Let's say the sheath is sub-par. Let's say that when you find a custom sheath-maker willing to make a custom kydex sheath for it.... You're going to DEFINITELY have to send your knife in so it will be fitted properly to the sheath. Unless you want a kydex sheath just too tight or just too loose for your tastes.
The only exception to this is pre-made kydex sheaths ready to ship. Or, semi-custom sheaths. Full blown customs that will take several weeks to arrive? Yeah, send in your knife.

I learned that there is a blue film sticker over the lens of Nitecore Tiny Monster lights. I thought for 6 months that my 4000 lumen TM06s was around 2000 lumens on high with a horribly bluish tint. I used it as a worklight with that stupid sticker on thinking it was just the antireflective coating. I only realized it was a sticker today when the heat of the light made the sticker wrinkle. Nowhere in the instructions does it mention this sticker and the little pull tab blended in well in the bezel. Feeling kind of stupid now.
Lesson one:
Never EVER give your dog that tries to shake toys to death a hammer. It's funny for 5 seconds.
Lesson two:
A fractured shin REALLY sucks!
Yes those two points are entirely related.
Also just add context, I picked up a hammer, my husky was interested, I showed it to her and she grabbed it by the handle then proceeded to parade it around (the funny part) and then shake it to death (unbelievably terrifying)
My shin was in the way.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Hope it's not a severe injury.
A bit of irony, I bought a ball peen hammer the day before yesterday. Bought a stubby handle (A.K.A. ~ cut-down handle) hammer a few hours ago. Also, Zippo offers both a brown and a separate black semi-custom image of a hammer you can put on a classic Zippo.

'Just split it down the middle, it's nothing' lol! That shin bone has gotta be what, at least 3/4 of your lower leg bone support?
Glad it turned out okay. Story made me chuckle too (I love seeing what the pup will play with/be interested in)though I understand the fear. Had a hammer thrown at me once by a child who was chasing me when I was ~3rd grade and we were building tree forts, he was nice but... not all there. Yeah don't mess with hammers!

If she's been divorced twice before.....there's a reason.
Haha don't feel too bad. I made the same mistake. If my wife didn't ask about the blue then I wouldn't have realized as quickly as I did, and that was definitely not right when I got it out of the box. I was a bit disappointed with the tint as well and it was really tough to tell at first because of the hidden tab.

I remember I bought some piece of consumer electronics gear years ago and I thought "man, that front panel is an ugly blue." It took far too long to recognize that it was a peel-away film that was put there for scratch protection.
When your as accident prone as I am then stuff like this just seems normal. A brief rundown of the major stuff I've done in a 10 year period is as follows,
Hit by 3 cars, hit by a bus (slow moving thankfully), in my car whilst it gone run over by a tractor, came off my downhill bike and landed lower back first on a tree stump, nearly punctured my throat with my collar bone in another bike crash, landed neck first on the edge of a quarter pipe after falling ~2.5m, electrocuted myself with 240v UK mains roughly 5 times, dropped a gearbox onto my chest and lastly that I can remember ripped a steel toe cap out of one of my boots with a metal bladed petrol strimmer when I lost my footing due to a hidden rabbit hole and dropped it at full chat onto my other foot.
For those reasons I now believe I am immortal.
