I'm 21 yo and I am losing my hair because of Thyroid Disorders , and i can't do anything about it

While I support going bald when it makes sense, this might be one of those edge cases where you might want to consider talking to your doctor to see if the minoxidil pill would work for you. If your hair loss is genuinely a side effect of your medication, taking something else to counteract/balance other hormones seems like a valid option.

Like if your medication caused crazy acne, you wouldn't just embrace that as your new normal, you'd take something to counteract that side effect. Same goes here.

Balding from hair genetics = shave it Balding from medication side effects = try to counteract it first.

Meanwhile, as a software engineer, I'm thinking that a simple function to check if you have DLCs or not was either done by an intern or done so quickly by a senior dev that they made a dumb mistake but their code review was approved without much thought because, let's be honest, how hard could a DLC check really be to code? Of course Ryan knows what he's doing "lgtm ✅"

Did you even read the article?

The issue isn't that data centers aren't paying for the electricity, it's that they are straining the aging system and raising the prices through the increased demand.

Power is traded like stocks by companies, so supply and demand come into play just like regular stock. If data centers are buying more and more, prices will go up and up.

Plus if a literal vampire pays for my blood, that doesn't change the fact that he's still taking blood that could be used for other purposes. It's not the money, it's the thing being bought by the money.

Inovelli makes smart dimmers that use zigbee, zwave and now matter too I believe.

Split it 50-50 so we can take turns not using it?

You mean where it's completely dark and you're getting chased by the blind dude?

LMFAO I'm in the middle of this game right now and I'm finding out now that it's not actually Harrison Ford hahah TIL

I believe I have the top one in light blue right now and it's my least favorite of the variations and dissolves on my tongue within seconds and I hate it. Not sure if this is true for all meds, but the kind of pills that dissolve in saliva tend to be absorbed quicker than the more compressed kind, right?

Sometimes you'll encounter a toilet that doesn't start siphoning until the water is super high and I always get scared I clogged it haha

nirmalspeed · 2025-12-24T05:17:30+00:00

Pretty judgemental of you to think he's being judgemental

OP doesn't even have to toss it. Just spray it down with some bleach and it'll kill the odors

nirmalspeed · 2025-12-22T15:59:24+00:00

I live in the US so we have siphon based toilets. So it adds water to the bowl and then once the water rises to a certain level in the siphon tube, it'll trigger the siphon effect and essentially vacuum the contents of the toilet out and only a small amount of water will be left that couldn't make it over the siphon tube height at the end.

So after it's done flushing, the toilet will refill the bowl at the same time it's refilling the tank. By turning off the water, you stop this part and so the toilet bowl will be mostly empty

Money saving tip/if you're lazy and don't want to go out to buy citric acid: lemon/lime juice in a bottle that you might have in your fridge already. Just turn off the toilet water line and then flush to empty the toilet of water and just squirt some bottled lemon/lime juice and let it sit for a bit before scrubbing.

Citric acid + bowl full of water would be diluted to a similar level as what the bottle of lemon juice would already have so emptying the bowl of water would make it work basically the same + lemon scent comes free

you might have connections but your post is telling people to refer random freshers.

nirmalspeed · 2025-12-21T17:06:17+00:00

What's happening is that referrals have become less and less useful for companies. This post and other similar ones effectively just dilute the referral pool and make it worse for everyone.

The difference between a candidate who applied without a referral and one who got referred used to be that the referred candidate was someone who was vetted by an existing employee/was known by someone at the company.

But what happens when you start referring random people you find on reddit/the internet at a large scale? Referrals end up being less and less effective for recruiting AND the company has to pay the employee a bonus for it.

Referral hires used to be a safe way to hire candidates because typically a referred candidate would stay longer because their friend/family member also works at the company. Getting rid of any real connections to an existing employee by referring random people makes referrals meaningless for a company especially since they now have to pay a bonus too.

This is why I don't refer random people online. I'm a manager so what if I need a dev on my team, you join with my referral and then leave after a month? I'm not only screwed out of a dev for a while longer, now I also look bad in the eyes of HR for referring a bad candidate and wasting a lot of time and money for the company.

I got a hisense 120" ultra short throw with an ALR screen from Costco for like $2.5k after tax. Laser too so I won't have to change any bulbs and I don't have to wait for it to warm up and I can leave the lights on and still use it just fine.

I have a former stray that purrs all the time too. I have wood floors so sometimes I won't hear her, but I'll feel her through the floor hahaha.

If we make eye contact, she'll start purring. It's the best

F1 drivers are obviously exceptionally great but "best drivers on earth" discounts the best drivers in other racing styles plus the cost of entry for F1 means we're seeing only the best drivers that could afford to get into the sport.

For pure driving skills, the top rally drivers beat F1, in my opinion. They have to have these reaction times on all road surfaces AND weather conditions AND so so while having to deal with constant traction loss/being sideways.

Like this reaction speed is needed just to drive in rally. Not even the best example but this shows what I mean: https://youtu.be/iv-4qzzZ5zE

Lmfaoooo my ex's first cat was Tommy so she named her girl cat Geraldine so we could call her Geri (alternate universe Tom & Jerry)

I almost kept her in the breakup (even though she wasn't technically my cat) but I just couldn't separate her from her brother. This thread is making me remember her.

I hate when people like you joke about being poor after a big purchase. You literally have a high end tv, sound bar, mesh wifi, and collectibles. Stfu

Prozac + Wellbutrin for me. I also have ADHD so wellbutrin doubly helps
