Super glue - cyanoacrylates. There are different formulas that work better or worse for wounds, it all has to do with polymer length iirc? But any cyanoacrylate glue will work as long as the skin is relatively dry and clean.
Don’t put cotton on it while it’s curing.
Disclaimer: This is not medical advice. I’m not a fucking doctor and I’ve almost lost several fingers due to negligence.
But they’re still there, so…

I’m late, game recommendations are covered, but I can give you advice for healing your thumb. I’ve had the tips of my thumb and a finger glued back on as well as stitches on my fingers several times.
Blood flow to the tip is important. Squeezing a stress ball or something helps. It’ll also keep the skin from healing too… tightly? If that makes sense.
Keep it dry. If you need to bandage it, do it loosely and change it often. Cotton balls work really well to keep it dry as well as protect it from accidental impacts.
If the doctor didn’t do a good job, trim the stitches so they don’t catch on anything. If you’re in America, take the stitches out yourself after 10-14 days or as soon as you can wiggle them freely. Nail clippers work really well to cut the stitch and pull it out.
If you rip a stitch, you can use a careful dab of super glue to close it. Just make sure it’s clean and dry first.
If you cut through the nail, it’ll grow back kinda fucked up. My nail healed in an M shape and dirt would get trapped in the middle so I put some Vaseline or something under it to keep it clean.
Last but not least, you have a small window in which fingerprint evidence may be inadmissable in a court of law. Do with this information as you will.

I assumed they froze both accounts to have a legal team properly review everything. Even a small complaint can get your account frozen. And it’s not wage theft when you’re technically a third party contractor.

Weird story. Apparently, the delivery driver walked into the customers home (door was open) where he was waiting? with his pants and underwear down.
When I delivered pizza, I would absolutely never enter a home. That’s like rule #1. Really good way to get robbed. Or see something you don’t want to.
And seeing a naked man in his home is not the same as being sexually assaulted. It’s gross and probably illegal if he set it all up for sexual gratification, but unless there’s more to this story, there was no assault.
I’m not sure what she wanted door dash to do about it? If you report something like that they obviously won’t respond immediately, it would get flagged and sent to a legal team.

The immaculate conception wasn’t Mary conceiving Jesus as a virgin, it was Mary being conceived without original sin.

They open inwards so it’s nearly impossible while the cockpit is pressurized. And if the windshield is iced over or something the pilots can open these windows to land.

Yeah, the area around the hole had marks from the drill bit slipping and it was haphazardly patched and hidden.

There was also the hole drilled in the ISS. AFAIK, nobody was ever held responsible but it was definitely vandalism at least.

Ten seconds of signaling is insane. If you have the room, put on the blinker, change lanes safely, then turn it off.
That’s a quarter mile at freeway speed and more than an average block in the city. You might as well just keep it on the entire time you’re driving since nobody will know what you’re signaling.

- Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation. 5 months ago:
It actually comes from artillery, but it’s the same idea.
Cannons were tapered, so the bore would point slightly upwards compared to the line of sight on top of the cannon. So the projectiles trajectory would rise above and then fall below the line of sight.
Point blank range was the distance at which the projectile drops below that line when the cannon was aimed at zero elevation.
