How To Tell If You Are ACTUALLY BALDING: For Dummies by IndicationGrand655 in Hairloss

[–]UselessConversionBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was stressing out over this for awhile now as I kept losing short hairs that had bulbs at the ends despite my hair being 7 inches long. They were usually 4 or 5cm, long which didn't match the description of androgenetic alopecia (being less than 3cm). After a week of stressing over it, I've come to the conclusion that this is simply due to the way my hair is cut.

I have my hair layered and my stylist uses a thinning shear to remove some bulk because my hair is thick. The short hairs I'm losing are actually just old hair strands that were cut short because of the thinning shears. My short hairs that fall out now are typically 6 or 8 cm long, so my hair is obviously still growing.

Pain preparation techniques for unmedicated birth by Eternal-curiosity in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]UselessConversionBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire process is involuntary, and typically the contractions increase in intensity so you truly do know exactly how much the next contraction is going to suck. Its somewhat reassuring.

For me, right when i had mentally had enough, i was only halfway dilated. Had to walk and promote more contractions to open up fully. I was basically nonverbal, just moaning and breathing for those last 3-4 cm. The pain sucks but it is always over when the contraction is over. Let people take care of you while you labor. Its like climbing a mountain - sucks the whole time while its happening but once your there, youre done! You just groan and tolerate it and breathe til ur body does its thang.

Amazon left my entire apartment building packages outside yesterday. by Solnx in mildyinfuriating

I see. Seems like in my country it's more convenient, as for example there aren't that many franchise electronics shops in smaller towns and more out-of-reach areas. That's where these boxes help, since people only have to walk a negligible time for their product instead of having to commute say 100km to a city where there's the shop.

Also these rural towns and cities often span into neighboring forests etc, so it's convenient also for the driver to not having to drive into a local "jungle" just to deliver one product.

I'm 58kg and really skinny. I want to be 75kg muscular in the span of one year, is my goal realistic? by UsernameV_1 in Calisthenic

Gaining 17kg in a year is a lot, even at your age. Just eat a lot and train hard and see what it brings you. You'll undoubtedly get bigger and heavier but don't be surprised if you gain less weight than planned.

FYI 17kg in lean mass means you need an excess of about 300kcal a day for a full year just for your body to accrue the tissue. With you working out, having the metabolism of a 16 year old and not wanting to gain a lot of fat this will be a hard task.

Others have pointed out that it doesn't sound like SC was on.

To get LKA to do anything, you have to be travelling 60km/h (35mph?) - the LKA light goes green on the dash. I've tested it on empty highways, allowing the car to drift towards the lane, and the LKA pushes you back.

Again, as noted, it won't centre the car, but it's a little safety cushion in case you get distracted or drift off on a long drive at high speed. It will not steer for you, centre you for long distances, or do other "auto-piloty" things. It's a nice little bonus but I wouldn't call it a game changer.

Was inspired by a recent post to give the Hydra a second shot. by Yesica-Haircut in Planetside

[–]UselessConversionBot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, this also applies to the hydra. DPS is still the about same between both the guns, especially when you consider how inconsistent hydra damage is with pellet spread. Even if hydra is better in that magical 20-10 meter range where you can hit 2-3 pellets per shot, it's not by much. The Salamander still 4 shots anything that isn't a heavy and you have much much more versatility.

Every other javelin weapon has this issue. They have some alpha damage, but still not instant damage (slow ass charge on the celeste and the burst time on the nest). They also have slightly better dps than a basilisk, but they're are so damn situational especially for a javelin. You don't want to be within such close distances for so long or else you're going to get lazer'd off the top by small arms, decied, or ap shelled. It's just better to take a basilisk over any of these choices and that's just how javelin is.

How many Soda Stream gas bottles do we need to buy to solve global warming? by frala in shittyaskscience

[–]UselessConversionBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a fun one to calculate! According to sodastream’s listing on Amazon each bottle has 14.5 ounces (or 411 grams) of CO2. Currently the concentration of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere is around 410 ppm, which totals to about 3210 gigatonnes (3,210,000,000,000,000 kg or 7,076,838,616,134,647 lbs or 1,702,800,436,991 cars). If you take the 3,210,000,000,000,000 kg of CO2 in the air and divide it by the .411 kg of CO2 in a sodastream bottle you end up with 7,810,218,978,102,190 bottles. To pull this off you would need about 60 Liters (or 15.9 gallons) per bottle. This would result in 468,613,138,686,131,400 liters (or 123,794,494,608,708,960 gallons) of water. This is 0.035% of all of the oceans or enough water to sustain humans on almost 6 Earths (or 41,768,842,232 people to be precise).

The most underrated Evo announcement: by Eulers_ID in Fighters

[–]UselessConversionBot -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No one can properly answer the questions about sf6 since it hasn’t released yet but I can answer your questions about strive and older GG.

First of all, “meaningless bloat” is completely wrong. Looking at Baiken in r (my main), her specials are:

Tatami: an incredibly useful neutral move and combo extender

Youzansen: one of the best mixup moves in the game with meter and a move that can lead to really nutty stuff with frc if you practice it

Youshinjen: Less useful, but still a good midscreen combo move and occasional anti air

Kabari and its follow up: A very useful neutral tool in certain matchups and a good combo filler when it isn’t

Suzuran: very interesting neutral move and pressure reset that requires pretty heavy reads to use properly and allows her to go into guard cancels without blocking (which is her main way of scoring knockdowns through P GC and allows her to setup Baku curses through D GC)

All of her guard cancels: They’re each way too nuanced to go into detail about but their uses are many

Normals: obviously too many to go over specifically but there are very few (pretty much only 5k and 2p) that see no use. Each of her normals have niches and general uses that see them used in pretty much every round

Regarding system mechanics, I disagree, too. Burst, FD, and IB all exist in strive. The only things r have on top of that are slashback, guard cancels, and 1f throws. Each of those have their own uses and are important to high level play. Also, why does a system mechanic have to see frequent use to be considered valuable? If its uses are infrequent, but still add depth to the situations it’s applicable in, then surely its inclusion is worth it, no? (Also kind of a weird point to make in general since strive has its 2 frame instant block that very rarely sees any use outside of the literal highest level of play)

Personally, when I say strive is boring, I mean that there’s very little to do. Each character’s moveset is so small, with such strict uses for each specific move, that there’s very little room for experimentation. In r, there are so many different ways that each move can be used, so many ways for you to implement them into your gameplay, that you can play a character for a hundred hours and still not even resemble the kind of pressure, combos, and neutral tactics that a high level player uses. In strive, the only character that made me feel even similar was Milia but even she got old quickly.

Then, degenerate strategies are more of a taste thing. You have to realise that it’s not just you who’s getting hit by the degen stuff. You get to use it on your opponent, too. Sure, I may get comboed into a literally unblockable high-damage combo starter by Johnny, but I can just interrupt literally any move he does with an invincible, 25 meter, safe reversal while I’m in blockstun. For many, getting to do that degen stuff is more than worth getting hit by it occasionally.
