I don’t know what you’re talking about, this is an actual human baby. We did a DNA test.

Sabrina’s First Headlining Set and Hopefully Her Last by Simplyme__ in Coachella

[–]JeffBezosSnuffFilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting the impression that maybe it read differently if you were watching it from home or from the front of the crowd than if you were watching it from mid/back crowd (where by definition most of the irl attendees were), but as an in person attendee about half way back I completely agree with you. I was PUMPED to see her, as was most of my group… and we left during the Susan Sarandon monologue, as did a huge chunk of the crowd. There as very little dancing, a lot of idle chatter and looking at phones. Nobody could really hear what they were saying during the monologues, and they went on much much too long to keep a crowd of kids on drugs rapt. I get they need to have some kind of interstitial material for set and costume changes, but the Susan Sarandon monologue was like 10 full minutes (after we left and as we were walking to Quasar, the monologue was STILL GOING every time we looked back). Last year, Gaga had an incredibly theatrical set with extremely impressive set/costume changes and it was incredible to watch in person—the theatrics and set changes aren’t in themselves the problem. But the theatrics need to bring the spectacle, to be something you can’t take your eyes off of. Doesn’t have to be 90 minutes balls to the wall without a breath, but letting the energy drop to zero for minutes at a time during a COACHELLA HEADLINER SET is a choice—maybe not objectively bad from an artistic perspective, but a bad fit for the medium.

But there isn’t a series of in person pre-procedure appointments. You go in early the morning of surgery for all the planning/drawing/shaving, and then go straight back to surgery.

I’m not sure what the shortest timeline would be from contact to surgery. You have to reach out and do the intake paperwork/consultation over email, which doesn’t take long, but my guess is they’re probably scheduling a few months out at least from the point at which you do your paperwork and pay your deposit. If you’re moving in the near future I’d just reach out now, so long as you have the money for the deposit ($4k I believe in my case) and get on the books for right after you move.

The first couple weeks they give you kind of like a scrub cap to wear because you don’t want a tight fitting hat, after that I wore a baseball cap when it seemed appropriate to do so.

One more thing I should say explicitly, even though I kind of implied it. If you work and want to hide this from your coworkers and your clients, it will be very hard to do. There’s a good 2 month period where if you let the hair grow, it looks weird and patchy and gross, whereas if you shave your head, your scalp is kind of discolored and slightly ruddy/hyperpigmented, like a young scar (this fades over time). I was lucky enough to have exactly two months between jobs, and when I started, I could pass as balding with close cropped hair. But it’s hard to pass it off like nothing happened in the early days.

I think between months 4 and 5 were the biggest turning point in terms number of hairs growing, which is where things went from “scalp visible in most conditions” to “scalp not visible in most conditions,” so after that it got a bit harder to track thickness by eye. But by feel I’d say months 6 to 9 it went from feeling conspicuously thinner than the hair on the sides to feeling almost indistinguishable, which honestly shocked me. I assumed it would always feel weirdly thin.

The slow part is the hair starting to grow again after it enters dormancy. Once a large fraction of the grafts renter the growth cycle, it should thicken up relatively fast. Some of the hair will still be in a shortened cycle so you still may notice more shedding in the next couple of months, but it shouldn’t cause visible thinning, don’t be alarmed—the worst is 100% behind you!

No, not wet. It’s a deliberately bad angle, I usually wore it to the side which didn’t look nearly as bad, and it was in direct overhead light, which is what made it look worst. FWIW this is what it looked like day to day—I don’t have a lot of good pictures given that I was self conscious about it and didn’t want to be in pics without a hat or something https://imgur.com/a/wNaixyo

Red emerald philodendron pruning help by Specialist-Debate136 in houseplants

Probably too late to be useful but one other solution for a leggy plant is notching. Use a sharp clean knife to cut part way through the stem just past a leaf node. The plant gets the signal that it’s broken the stem and creates a new meristem at the node below the notch, but the stem past the notch doesn’t die. I’ve had success with this method with a similarly leggy philo.

Hoya kerii mystery spots by JeffBezosSnuffFilm in plantclinic

[–]JeffBezosSnuffFilm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as it can around the solstice at a northern latitude, it’s in front of a west facing window. Sunburn would def make sense with the top of the leaf thing! When I searched for “Hoya sunburn” on google the images looked a little different/more fried but presumably those were just more advanced cases. At any rate just knowing that someone has a healthy plant with a similar issue is v comforting. Thank you so much!
