After a transplant you usually have to take meds. Done quite a bit of research...very low risk of side effects. Most common is dick problems but I'm loaded up with SSRIs and it still works so I doubt I would have that side effect. The prescription is not free and I think is like 60 bucks a month the last I looked.

If you are starting to bald, and don't want to, the easiest option is to get on meds to keep what you already have. If you get side effects then you are SOL i suppose.

You can also do pretty good by changing your diet. Food that promotes circulation. I can cite a youtuber that got his hairline back by eating a fuck ton of watermelon. And I eat a fuck ton of watermelon anyway, maybe that's why my hairline is still my childhood hairline at age 32. Dad was balding at 25. Poor diet and too many trucker hats.

Transplant costs like 10k CAD in Turkey. Not an insurmountable amount of money IMO. The worst part is your nasty looking head for like a year after the procedure. After the transplant, all that hair will fall out again, and then you have to wait for it to grow back. The process can be quite humiliating as you can imagine as guys are expected to man up and shave their heads, not pay to win like this.

I dunno, I really like having long hair, I take immense pride in having nicer hair than most ladies and I enjoy taking care of it and seeing how long it can grow. I always wondered what a shower feels like with a bald head though! I have never had short hair in my entire life.

Now I want to do some gatekeeping. If you want to play in a metal band on stage, you need long hair, or you have no business being there. Haha.

The US doesn't really have any allies anymore and is quickly losing its dominance already

The rcmp human trafficking website cites that as a reason people go missing

Missing people per capita is higher in BC than anywhere else in Canada. By quite a bit too

Oh you're american. No, these are not "normal city things" in a first world country lol. There's barely any city here anyway. BC is almost entirely wilderness. Hard for american brain to comprehend.

It really annoys me how confidently incorrect you are.

Because most of these cases are treated as write offs and they really don't care. Having personally lost someone in the area

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

No, but normal people didn't own a computer then really haha

We just changed our clocks in BC for the last time ever

We are finally talking about this now eh? I lost a cousin over 12 years ago, vanished into thin air. Nobody cared. Especially the RCMP. Much like all these guys. A few posters and a lazy facebook post was all my beloved cousin ever got.

My favourite part of the article is this:

National statistics reflect a severe and often overlooked reality regarding violence against Indigenous men:

Between 1980 and 2012, Statistics Canada documented 1,750 Indigenous male homicide victims, compared to 745 Indigenous female homicide victims.

In this timeframe, 71% of all murdered and missing Indigenous people were men and boys.

According to 2020 Statistics Canada data, Indigenous men are seven times more likely to die by homicide than non-Indigenous people, and four times more likely than Indigenous women.

We hear so much about missing indigenous women. I had no idea the stat for men was 4 times higher. Why doesn't anyone care?

There is almost certainly an active serial killer operating on the mid island for years now, and I hear random people saying this more and more. Sadly we are on our own over here it seems.

 

My recent gun instructor's name was Eric Beer.

I guess this fascinates me a lot because I had a dream where Eric Beer ran for president and his running mate was Andrea Drugs and they won by a landslide simply because they coined the term "The Beer and Drugs Campaign"

 

my gf and i went to NYC and we needed to hit up the nearest convenience store ASAP. i look up on google maps and the nearest one is named "Hell" with 3.7 stars. we walk across the street to it and the front face of the store is just fucked with all these demonic creatures and symbols. and the store logo is exactly the same as that doom metal band from portland named Hell. anyway you can clearly see inside the store that it is just a normal shoppers drug mart like store. so we go in. after we pay we cannot seem to find the door. its just gone? after wandering around we end up exiting through the back into an alley and it becomes this like randomly-generate-as-you walk minecraft type thing where you can only see so far ahead as more world generates. and basically its generating some demonic hellscape version of NYC and all the people walking around on the streets are just fucked. like that creature from smiling friends where he goes too far into the woods

That appearance in france the other day is so weird. Is it actually possible it's an impersonator? It sure seems like an impersonator.

Is he putting on some sort of act to prove a point?

I have seen theories as wild as they killed him and replaced him with a lookalike for the nasty things he's said about hollywood/the elite/illuminati lol.

His speech in France: https://youtu.be/cLQmKyQAplg

When he claimed he is a whistleblower and why some say they killed him: https://youtu.be/eG9i7d8yfKQ

An appearance from 3 months ago, the last time some say we saw "the real Jim Carrey" : https://youtu.be/puZLQwvYABQ

 
 

I am not looking for software alternatives. Is the best method still to dual boot?

 

I'm deploying Frigate (camera NVR software) at work for our 100something security cams. We only buy Dell servers which is a shame because I would have probably went Supermicro in this instance. Anyway. I'm doing some research and it's really unclear to me what Dell server I should go with if I intend to install a GPU in it.

I'm thinking I'll probably go refurbished, like one generation or two old.

Should I go with a 4U server, and if I did, would that eliminate the need for a PCIe riser card?

Do I need a datacenter class GPU? I have read that many of the powerful consumer cards will simply be too large for the server case.

Right now I am testing with an R550 and there is only one available 8 pin on the power supply. How do I power a 12 pin on the GPU if all that is available?

 

I bought this truck used and it has aftermarket headlights I am fed up with. They look cool but constant issues with electronics and also the housing scratched so easily that it makes the truck look cheap.

Should I replace them with OEM or is there actually a good aftermarket option for headlights?

 

Just obtained my first ps2 and so far my gf and I like playing:

  • test drive eve of destruction

  • ssx tricky

  • lotr return of the king

  • the warriors

 

I'm probably just an asshole nobody wants to talk to, but I can hardly even get a reply text from anyone anymore. A couple people have told me that they are just feeling burnt out/depressed/etc and don't have even enough energy to answer a message anymore. But I've also had some long time friends just entirely ghost me in the last year as well with no explanation. It feels like I'm surrounded by NPCs. I've basically just stopped reaching out to anyone at this point. Outside of my work, literally the only people I talk to are my parents, sister, and my girlfriend. Everyone else seems dead inside. I used to have at least 10 people who I could call on a moments notice and all of those people are gone.
