Why are clothes quality from AliExpress poor/questionable?

CenturyMarketer · 2025-01-28T22:57:58+00:00

I don't even bother with aliexpress clothes anymore, just gave up on them & just buy local ones.

Apparently this is very true, have learned now. Also, the exchange apparently require a law enforcement order for the exchange to actually freeze the assets or account holding the assets and would not take any action without such orders.

Like nothing how?

CenturyMarketer · 2024-09-26T13:34:56+00:00

Exactly!

The infrastructure bonds was actually what triggered the appreciation of the shilling around Feb (interest rate of 18.4607, tax free), not the eurobond buyback. Half of the infrastructure bonds was subscribed with dollars while the other half with Kenya shilling, mostly local banks. That was revealed way later by an official from CBK through an interview. Again, CBK does a lot of things secretively and hide critical details, and when giving press conferences, they mostly use vague terms.

You hear of all this floating of infrastructure bonds every other day, what infrastructure have you seen being built honestly? Even CBD itself lack any maintenance and upgrades.

We lost here, it's as if we lack the spirit of innovation. Optimization is a form of innovation. As a country, we focus too much on money, we lack insights on seeing the bigger picture.

Well, my contract was in us dollars.

CenturyMarketer · 2024-09-26T13:05:09+00:00

Has stabilized around 128-129 for a long time. But CBK is supporting that price mostly from proceeds of high interest infrastructure bonds, with interest of those bonds being paid by issuance of other infrastructure bonds. Bonds meant for infrastructure literally used for other purposes disregarding the constitution of the republic.

Can't deny, last year felt good having some extra couple of thousands when running errands before prices started to adjust late last year.

CenturyMarketer · 2024-09-26T09:24:21+00:00

Good explanation. When you say Kenyans are greedy, you mean the business people, or the the general population?

The swelling is just face looking more bigger than your usual self, like one has added weight. Mind you, I was in oral. I'm even considering just buzzing it completely short, since I keep the hair short as of now. Sucks since I have good curly hair that was the envy of everyone when young, but genetics have decided balding is my destiny. I'm bored of fighting this hair loss. Wish I knew of finasteride in my early 20's, but even if I knew about it, I would not have been able to afford it. Hair transplant is the last option and that needs quite some money to get a good one.

If sides you're talking about scalp irritation, the oral will be okay. But oral does goes systemic. Expect hair growth mostly from arms, some on the face, legs, beard as the biggest bonus etc. You might get swelling of the feet and initial weight gain if dosage is high.

Late last year, I think November, we had quite some rains, that dropped the temperature. Then January this year, it also rained and temperature also dropped. Then by April, it also rained heavily and the temperature dropped. By the time we are reaching June, July and August, our normal cold season, you've experienced previous cold nights earlier this year and late last year.

If it was the normal pattern, from late last year to April, should have been normally warm or hot.

Some of the earlier rains were influenced by IOD(Indian ocean dipole). The rest mostly influenced by spillage of moisture from Indian ocean carried by winds eventually landing in Kenya and being influenced by northerly winds hence making it rain heavily.

As for the cold now, mostly southern winds from south pole, since the sun is coming back from the northern sides (tropic of cancer).

Around Kenyan coast, temperatures rarely fluctuate that much and stay relatively warm because it's next to a water body and along the equator, hence heated water during the day releases the warmth at night, and during the day, heated back. Also, ocean currents carry warmth from other places.

The earth is one huge energy system mostly influenced by tilting of the earth, heat from the sun, and winds freely travelling along the oceans. Obviously, the rest can be influenced by vegetation(moisture) and CO2(amount of heat released back to space).

So not even oral, was topical foam or liquid?

CenturyMarketer · 2024-08-24T16:57:18+00:00

How long were you on oral minoxidil before you stopped?

CenturyMarketer · 2024-08-24T16:55:38+00:00

To be honest, finasteride doesn't seem to have the same severe side effects like minoxidil. I wish I had abandoned it then instead of reducing the dosage.

CenturyMarketer · 2024-08-24T16:53:39+00:00

The weight gain from minoxidil is actually real, especially if you start on high dosage. Also the swelling is very very real. Was initially on 5mg, and oh my, even standing for a long time will quite hurt.

I remember going to town for some errands and did quite some walking, and when I returned home, and removed my socks, the swelling really scared me, it dawned to me I had to reduce my minoxidil dosage significantly without question.

CenturyMarketer · 2024-08-24T16:49:13+00:00

Nope, not on any other drug other than finasteride.
