This blister is annoying, it's on the contact point of my right hand's thumb and it makes it hard to grasp certain objects, as I don't want to rupture the blister because it would scar and could become infected.

You're being paranoid.

Go get a needle, heat it up under the flame of a lighter, and pop it over the sink so you can wash it once you pop it. Then put a bandage on it and whoosh it will heal up with no infection.

Also I've never seen a blister scar.

certain objects...

You're worried about a blister leaving a scar and becoming infected? Hamsters cause more complications then blisters.

EDIT: don't pop it though, it will feel worse grabbing those certain objects.

[Click16]

Popping blisters is the worst thing you can do. A blister is formed to protect and heal the effected area, by popping it, it is exposed and can still get infected even if you sterilize the needle and cover it. Do not pop blisters.

XD I always pop them and tear the funky skin off it... hurts like a bitch cuz the skin underneath is raw..but DS's idea of a bandage could have helped me in that sence...
then again that is an awkward place for a bandage.. I'd say pop it before going to bed then when you wake up it should be fine to grab stuff or what-not.. then again the last blister I got was also from 350° peanut oil splashing onto my arm...and then setting there... until it cooled...

I got mine by picking up something that had melted plastic on it, then it stuck to my finger in and cooled so I couldn't get it off.

And don't be sick penguin.

[DemonicSandwich]

Ew, don't tear the skin off cause then you really are risking an infection.

All the burns I get are from a soldering iron.

[Gary]

I have burnt myself on a soldering iron before, but not long enough to get a blister.

Mine's rather high temp for a soldering iron, and when I burn myself on it it just stings badly for a few hours....then it forms the blister.

[Gary]

When I burnt myself, it didn't take long for a blister to form maybe a hour or two and my iron can heat up to 800F, sometimes I use to to fix cell phones that snap in half that still have the cable hooked up.

[Zieon Eslador]

Man up, form callouses.

[troymac1ure]

It feels so good to pop a blister. It's the age old queston of "to pop" or "not to pop"... but releasing that pressure feels so nice.

...and I burn myself alot. I currently have the remnanats of a popped blister in the middle of my right palm from a red hot chunk of exhaust rust landing in that nice little crevace that's formed when you hold a torch

I work in a shop everyday, no bandaid or whatever and i's not infected. Just wash it like normal and dry it.

Can't find any decent DirectX UI controls, so tomorrow I have to make a whole library from scratch for Mutation, along with finding someone to make textures for them. What the hell.

Fuck I just learned my XBL account and my credit card got banned from xbl because some asshole crashed h2v servers and faked bungie's identity but w/e wasn't even playing at all xbox.

Cougar didn't like my emblem rawrawraw.

[JacksonCougar]

So damn green.

[Zieon Eslador]

He's correct, Zac. I see a little pink rectangle the size of an emblem everywhere I look now.

You should get maps compiling before getting into useless details

I would get less done in a longer period of time if I did.

I just realized that there was a property for a listbox in Visual studio named sorted, and by setting it to true it list everything in the listbox alphabetically

Sounds like it doesn't make sense, but I get where you're coming from. If you're learning something new and interesting you'll work more and harder on it.

Well that, and I need xbox7887's help for debugging map compiling code. Only he can tell me where the game crashes, and that narrows it down from any possible point in the map, to within a range of "it's these 3 tags". Another problem is Bsp padding. The fucking padding in that tag has been setting me back for a while.

[OwnZ joO]

Ok then. Well just keep up the work, it's sounding pretty impressive.
