Today I Learned: 1) Dogs are much more prone to giving up on problems and asking for help than wolves are. If you give a wolf a difficult problem, like getting into a cage to get at food, it will go at it for quite a while, trying different avenues of attack, generally not giving up. Most dog breeds will try it a few times, then give up and effectively ask their owners for help. 2) ...how to laser cut. Not really one big thing to say here, just a lot of little things, like how to make a line actually red in CorelDraw software, and the difference between material-based settings and custom settings, and how to make sure a cut will stay on your material. Also, how to cut acrylic with a hack saw (it's a lot like cutting anything else with a hack saw -- in particular, it's helpful to clamp down as much of the material as possible and to hold the other end steady with your free hand). ...also, if you walk into a lab confidently enough and ask for help using the laser cutter, you will at least sometimes get exactly the help you need. =) 3) Topical treatments for toenail fungus are usually paired with chemical debridement, which is fancy doctor-speak for dissolving away unwanted toenail with enzymes. Debridement helps the topical treatment get to the fungus, which is the primary problem with using topical treatments on toenail funguses.
