This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It does hurt, starts out as a numbness and then there is a some mild pain. And then pins and needles when the blood comes back. I can still use them but it doesn't feel the best. The biggest risk I'm aware of is frostbite if I am out in the cold. I like to have gloves or mittens with me at all times when it's cold out.

That really is mildly interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Hope you are well!
