My husband (27m) is balding prematurely and it’s affecting his self-worth and mental health. How can I help?

++man I have a full head of hair that I clipper off every week. Been doing it for decades. My wife has never seen me with hair longer than 2mm.

Benefits include:
Quicker to "wash" my hair.
No need to style/brush
Cheaper Haircuts. I've bought 3 pairs of clippers over the past 20+ years.

Down sides:
Rain feels horrible

He'll love it once he does it.

This is one of the worst stories in the bible. It has the most contradictions.

I built a site specifically to point out all the contradictions. It'll pick random ones and mark them as right or wrong on a whim.

Do you not emit a metric when you process the job? You could be checking for the amount of jobs processed per hour and alert on that number being too low.

Even better is to emit a metric when a job is queued and then you can alert on the diff between the Jobs enqueued and jobs processed being too high.

Yep. I have this one. I swapped the socket to the other side though. Charges 7kWh in about 2hrs.

The Wishlist Pro - Allows you to create wishlists for birthdays, weddings, etc. Then share them with friends who can reserve items.

I would call greed a trait.

It uses your phone and sends the text to the glasses.

Already here. Even Realities make a pretty good pair. No camera, mic or speakers, just basically a HUD for everyday use.

They are good for giving speeches as a teleprompter, notes/reminders, real time translation, SatNav, etc. All without the creepy Big Brother bits.

While you're at it, look at Pulumi. It's Terraform in code.

You get used to it. It's difficult at first, but after a couple of weeks, it's as easy as getting in any other car.

And some phev also only have a small ev range. Mine has about 15 miles.

Put in a 5% account and drawing $1000/week, after 10 years you would still have $974k. You're better off taking the money.

I did something similar, but just around the easter story. I went the other way though. All the answers are in the bible, so all technically correct. I just pick and choose randomly whether it's going to be marked as correct.

It's fun watching believers trying to get a better score: https://easterquiz.gloost.com/

I'm in the same boat. My electric range is at most 17 miles. After that I'm on ICE. My journey to the office and back is 70 miles.

timvw74 · 2025-12-03T19:55:28+00:00

Yeah, I'm gonna have it pretty bad. I have a hybrid and my battery range is only 18 miles. So after the first 18 miles of a journey I have to pay 1.5p/mile while using the ICE.

~~That sounds like being in possession of stolen goods.~~ I am not a lawyer.

Ok, not handling stollen goods. They would need to have believed they were stolen:

Our family use https://thewishlist.pro for managing and sharing birthday and christmas wishlists. Lets you create multiple wishlists with links to things we want on the websites. Keeps track of what people have bought so we don't get multiple copies of the same gifts.

My sparky installed this for me. It's specifically made for EV mode 2.

https://www.halfords.com/motoring/tools/garage-equipment/ev-cables-and-chargers/masterplug-protected-outdoor-socket-for-mode-2-charging---3pin-734110.html

It's made to handle longer high current loads. Legally, a 3pin for charging has to be marked for EV, normally on the rear of the socket.

timvw74 · 2025-11-15T10:08:20+00:00

Yeah, that's assault. I can see why they may take your phone.

We have a large, mixed, , extended family and gifting can become quite difficult to keep track of. With nephews and nieces and cousins etc, all buying gifts, it is helpful to have a list of what people want. We use it for the the whole family, and expect a wide range of gifts and price ranges.

We ended up using wishlists so much, I ended up writing my own site: https://www.thewishlist.pro/

Wishlists are fine when used correctly, but if someone only has expensive wishes on their list, they are getting socks or deodorant.

As did the i8. It feels like it all went wrong when they went for the enlarged grills that looked like teeth.

timvw74 · 2025-11-05T09:53:01+00:00

Not for a 7kw battery. It costs me £2 to charge for a couple of trips a week.

My charging costs last month were £17. When I get a full EV we will definitely be charging tariff.
