I planned to let the ring get worn down definitely, hence the scratch finish. I'm now worried about scratching other things with it! Hopefully I'll get used to it.
I can Google plenty of injuries, if you follow that logic just stay at home in a bubble all your life.
My old man wore his all his married life, worked in steel fabrication and did plenty of diy and working on cars. He physically couldn’t take it off anyway, fingers got too big. I work a desk job and do occasional DIY, I think I’ll be alright.

Same I nearly ripped my finger off when carrying all the shopping bags from the car boot in one go like you do as a man. Hasnt been on since and no idea where it is.
I've never worn my wedding ring, it's in her jewellery cupboard at home. I never wear jewellery at all in fact, I've got a drawer full of fancy watches and accessories that I never wear. It's from my apprenticeship / tech school days, it was hammered in to us pretty hard that you simply don't operate machinery with anything that can get snagged. I've seen some horrific accident videos which really highlighted how nasty they can get. Half a bloke's arm ripped off in a millisecond due to a chain getting caught in a lathe. Ouch.

I haven't worn my actual wedding ring in a number of years. I'm an active climber, home DIY and home mechanic, no thanks to degloving.
I do wear a silicon wedding band thoughCheap and wont shred my finger
Haven't worn mine for about twenty years, blew it apart and almost lost my finger fitting a starter solenoid. Spanner on the nut tightening the positive terminal, ring on my finger touching the end of the spanner, glanced the subframe as I was tightening it up. Huge bang, searing hot, bits of cooked flesh hanging off my finger where my ring used to be.
I'm constantly using tools at home or at work, ride motocross, do a bit of circuit racing so wear nothing that could get caught or snagged.
I watched a bloke get clouted by a lathe once. He had the key in the chuck but rotated the head so it was at the back. Forgot about it, started the lathe and it rotated a few inches before the key got stuck against the back panel. Still not thinking of the key he gave it a clout with a mallet and the thing spun around, the key came loose and hit him square in his forehead, out cold. Blood everywhere, ambulance carted him away. He was extremely lucky to be alive and since that day he spray painted every key highlighter pink and installed a reflective stainless plate on the back of his lathe.
Machinery can be seriously dangerous.
I had a ring scare and no longer wear mine. opened a door, walked through. Ring caught on door handle when letting go, I was still walking. Finger was yanked so hard I didn’t want to look. Luckily it was only heavy bruising. Ring came off, and only goes back on for anniversary dinners.

A couple of bits a glass to look through.
You do you man, but when I'm sweating and my muscles are pounding and my vest is torn and my hair wet and slicked back - the last thing I want is any potential onlookers to think I'm not down to smash.
Logitech mice are great but the buttons don't last very long at all.
I have 2 broken G903 mice and two broken G900 mice
I keep trying other brands of mice but i don't like them and just end up buying more logitech ones.
Yeah I really like them from a usuabilty/ergonomics stand point but lasting an average of 10 months isn't great. I used to stick with them because their support was top notch, but now they're slow to respond and don't do much to help past the bare minimum.
