After a decade of nail-biting, over the past two weeks, I have finally broken the habit. Immense thanks to whoever shared the "rubber band around your wrist that you snap to provide negative reinforcement" trick long ago on some half-remembered thread. You made this possible.

I fixed this by simply carrying nail clippers around on my keys, and remembering to use them instead of ripping them apart with my teeth. A few weeks of that and they were in good enough shape that I didn't feel the need to bite them.
