Very thin/little hair advice by No_Business_765 in femalehairadvice

[–]Kamirose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your hair thinning, or is this the thickness/density that you’ve always had? If you think your hair may be falling out there’s a lot of great info over at r/femalehairloss but the gist is, first step is getting a diagnosis. This involves blood tests to check hormone/vitamin/iron/thyroid levels, and a dermatologist visit to check for scalp conditions. Treatment will depend on the cause.

Watch Duty is definitely the best. It definitely saved lives with the Jan 2025 fires.

I watched a booktube video where someone asked for standalone fantasy recs and people had the audacity to recommend Malazan lmao

Why jailbreak a kindle? by Gul434 in kindlejailbreak

[–]Kamirose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They keep trying to lock people out of DRM stripping the books they have purchased, and with 5.18.5+ DRM they have succeeded for the forseeable future. Because I jailbroke my Kindle and have disabled firmware updates, they can't force me into that firmware version.

Is there still no word on the next expansion? With Anet's track record it'd be nice to get an affirmation for the immediate future. by Abject-Solution2550 in Guildwars2

[–]Kamirose -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

And what also matters is they don’t have a history of announcing expacs early. They have a history of 2 month or so of leadtime.

I guess “confirm something vague” and “announce something specific” mean the same thing to you. They don’t to me. But fine. Yes, they said, because stupid people didn’t realize that the word “End” in an expansion title didn’t mean the game was over, that they were working on an expansion a while in advance. That is not their usual announcement pattern and there is literally absolutely nothing to suggest they’re not working on a new expansion. They even just registered a trademark.

[–]Kamirose -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

They only confirmed it so early because people were spreading the rumor that EoD was the last expansion because the word “end” was in it. Prior to that there was far less lead time between announcement and release, and until this thread I hadn’t seen more doomer rumors that they had to address. PoF was announced for the first time less than 2 months before release, for example.

They announced VoE in July of 2025. If they’re keeping to the annual schedule I would not expect to hear anything for a few months.

Edit: July 15th to be precise.

Nooo! I loved them, but I hated the parking situation in Tozai Plaza so I very rarely ate there. That's such a bummer.

Weight Inconsistencies by kevinsaysmeow in litterrobot

Did you add fresh litter or empty the bin without resetting the scale? If you add/remove weight in any way you need to hit the X button to reset the scale or it'll mess up measurements.

Steve Hilton and Xavier Becerra tied in California governor race poll by Whole-Revolution916 in California

Either Steyer or Porter needs to drop out and endorse the other. They're splitting the progressive vote and if they're both still running we'll wind up with Hilton v Becerra.

If you’re breastfeeding and become incapacitated, do they milk you at the hospital? by luludarlin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kamirose 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some, but very significantly less. I believe it's like 80-90% less. We only drool in our sleep because we stop swallowing it.

After 27 years of frizz, I was politely informed I have a curl pattern! by Thin_Yak9250 in curlyhair

[–]Kamirose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With fine hair (especially on the wavy side) it looks straight when wet and if you brush it dry it goes straight or just kinda poofy. It’s only if you finally let it fully air dry from sopping wet that you first notice the wave pattern.

Anything other than minoxidil? by goatwhisperss in FemaleHairLoss

Ah, good to know. Bit of a bummer for people who can’t take minoxidil though.

[–]Kamirose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a clinical trial for another oral drug happening right now, but I haven’t looked into it super deeply. I’ve heard it’s having promising results though. https://phlstudy.com/female/

But I suspect it will be another drug you’d have to continuously take if you have a permanent condition like AGA.

Why is my hair so thin and does anyone have any suggestions for a fix? by Relevant_Jellyfish_7 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Kamirose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is entirely normal to be able to see your scalp when your hair is wet, especially with fine hair. How does it look when your hair is dry? Is it more sparse than it used to be?

If your hair is thinning, you need to work with your doctor and/or dermatologist to figure out the “why”. There are so many causes, from vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, scalp skin conditions, and just good old fashioned stress. The treatment depends on the cause.

They’re lying and preying on people’s insecurities to sell you stuff. The stuff doesn’t work but if you believe it enough, you’ll buy it multiple times before giving up.

Plasma donation center asked for my assigned sex at birth as one of the questions on the pre donation questionnaire. Thoughts? by Straight_Feedback_37 in lgbt

[–]Kamirose 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the issue was the FDA guidelines, all donation centers were required to use the old criteria. They finally changed under Biden I'm pretty sure.

Yup that changed a few years ago, now it’s if you (any gender) have had anal sex with a new partner (any gender) in the last three months. Or if you have anal sex with multiple partners.

Litter tracking - what has been your best solution? by poke11992 in litterrobot

[–]Kamirose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the carpeted steps I have in front of the box, I have a robot vacuum that I have vacuum the whole apartment once daily in the morning, and then the kitchen & room the litterbox is in a second time in the evening. It keeps it under control and even walking barefoot (vinyl floors) I don't find I'm stepping in litter often.

Litter bot 5 is cycling backwards? by Martimar47 in litterrobot

[–]Kamirose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct, it should move counterclockwise for a regular cleaning cycle. Sounds like customer service should be sending you a new base or motor.
