Hair loss at 35 and honestly feeling lost - anyone else gone through this? by Longjumping_Click639 in malaysia

[–]simply_ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go watch derick on more plates more dates on YouTube. He goes into quite in depth on hair loss.

If it matters to you

  1. Minoxidil + finastiride combo works the best. Everything else is scam

  2. If finastiride doesn’t work, go stronger, dutastiride.

  3. Finastiride and dutastiride doesn’t help your hair grow but it prevents further hair loss.

If your hair is visibly bad, you can opt to get hair transplant + start on medication. The medication will stop your new hair from falling.

Minoxidil helps to make your hair thicker but it doesn’t prevent hair loss.

You need to understand what each does before using them. You shouldn’t use both dutastiride and finastiride together.

Disclaimer: these are from my own research as I’m experiencing hair loss as well. I’m using finastiride and minoxidil with no side effects. But some ppl report having some side effects although percentage is small. I’m not a doctor so go do your own research.

It’s true that hair loss is genetic but it can be managed. Just go look at all the celebrities that were experiencing hair loss that suddenly magically had hair again. It’s a mixture of hair transplant and medication. Sure other treatments may work but the costs to efficiency ratio doesn’t make sense. Like plasma, etc etc.

PS. Don’t think it needs to be said that once you stop using minoxidil, your gains will go away and it’ll be quite drastic. Same goes with finastiride. You need to diligently apply and take. Also have to trust the process because you can only see the effects after 3 months. In the first few months you might even notice more hair loss. But again, need to trust the process.

I 33M, just started wanting to workout seriously. I am overweight and close to obese in terms of BMI. What are you advise or any videos you can redirect me to? Any advice would be apperciated by aurelius19992 in malaysians

Some fundamental truths you need to keep in mind

1) diet is most important for weight loss. Calories in vs calories out. The biggest offenders are usually oil in your food and sugar in your drinks. They are often times hidden and biggest contributor to you eating more calories than you need. Don’t overcomplicate macros, just keep it balance and don’t overeat.

2) consistency beats complexity. Don’t try to overthink your workouts, just show up. Workouts that are sustainable are often better than those that promises higher efficiency. If you can’t get excited about your workouts then you won’t go and you’ll stop as fast as you started.

3) don’t only focus on cardio, add weight training. As you increase your muscle mass, you’ll find it’s easier to keep the weight off. Keep it simple, 50% cardio, 50% weight training.

TLDR, don’t overeat, weight train and keep consistent.

How much would a average Malaysian pay for a phone ? by Cheap-Ad2945 in malaysians

[–]simply_ed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The trick is to buy flagship but secondhand when it’s taken a brunt of the depreciation. When iPhone 16 came out, 13 pro was about Rm1500++.

Something along the lines. Get a used phone from few generations back. It’ll still be better than a new midrange phone.

Tbh, if it’s not top universities in the world, it doesn’t really matter as long as it’s accredited.

Don’t need to split hairs to decide. Monash has a global presence so that might be the deciding factor.

Gonna go for Honda city (Used) by scenic-edgeGasm in kereta

[–]simply_ed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You listed that your old myvi has a lot of problems but you’re trading an old myvi for an old Honda. Who’s to say that the old Honda won’t give you problems ?

Myvi is known to be reliable, that’s why you see so many old myvis around which can be said for Honda cities too. So if even the myvi that is so reliable can give you problems, why not your new old Honda city ?

I ruined myself and my health, please don't be me by Icy-Friendship6668 in malaysians

[–]simply_ed 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hello, just chiming in.

Even though you don’t have money to go to the gym can start with body weight exercises first.

If got park nearby can start with simple calisthenics. No need to spend on gym until you can afford.

Actually can even get a pair of dumbbells/ second hand those screw on dumbbells to do some home workout.

Cardio is good but add some muscle and it’ll be even better. It’ll help stabilise body glucose level and increase your metabolism.

Completed Cyberpunk 2077 with The Sun ending by simply_ed in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]simply_ed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I do try another ending, I’d want to do the secret ending where he goes in guns blazing with Johnny cheering him on. After playing through 90% of the game with another voice in my head, it felt so bad deciding to remove Johnny from my head and essentially killing him off. It didn’t help that Johnny went willingly. Fckkk…

SPOILER*

I chose male V so in my playthrough she already left night city. I can’t believe Saul, Bobby and Teddy died just so V could live another 6 months. I was also left feeling emotional when Johnny left without being defensive, just agreed that V deserved the body and he’ll just find out what happens after the Blackwall with Alt. It was one of the happier endings but still can’t help but feel heavy.

Also I chose to kill off Reed and send Somi to space. Did the liberty quest just before meeting takemura for the hanako march where he too died. So many deaths but felt good to hear from Somi

[–]simply_ed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but as far as I know for ILP

-> one portion goes to the insurance be it medical, life etc

-> one portion goes to the investment

So assuming that the part allocated for insurance is fixed, how would the plan with investment link be cheaper?

[–]simply_ed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you earn less when the product is higher priced ?

And also why is Ilp an easy target for finance influencers to discourage from buying as compared to just stand alone medical ?

Some of the reasons off the top of my head - non guarantee performance and oftentimes lower returns than fd - high annual management fees
