Comment on My hair is thinning. Tips and tricks, please! in ~life.style
Autoxidation LinkA couple of years ago the NYTimes ran a story about effective hair loss treatments. The gist is: most products don't work.

Rogaine does work, but it works best when taken orally in a lose dose. It's not approved by the FDA, as minoxidil is a generic and no company would pay for the safety studies of an oral form if there's no real profit to be made. If you ask around and get the right dermatologist, they will prescribe it off-label for you. Plus, it's cheap! I would recommend giving this path a try.

They all have their quirks but the Samsung one seems to have the better heat pump design and internally sprays and cleans its coils. The only downside is it takes "longer" to do laundry, and the lint trap takes a little more effort to clean since it is so thorough. I've had to shift to just throwing a load of laundry in when the basket gets full, when I would previously have a laundry day and do everything in one day.
Honestly, it's fantastic. You can throw a load of laundry in before work, and come home to clean laundry. Throw a load in before bed, same thing. The only time I haven't had something come out completely dry was a large comforter that other dryers also struggled with.

Autoxidation (edited )Link ParentThis actually isn't true! Don't worry about it. :)DC fast charging is (relatively) expensive and is bad for the battery.

Comment on Is the Cybertruck really that bad? in ~transport
Autoxidation LinkFrom MotorTrend's 2025 truck of the year testing:- Exemplary
From MotorTrend's 2025 truck of the year testing:
Performance of intended function? As an attention-grabbing, obdurate middle finger to the status quo, the Tesla is unmatched. That doesn’t stop it from trucking well; the deep bed is the largest among EV pickups and it’s the only contender to swallow our payload-simulating horse mats with the tailgate and tonneau closed. “It tows like there’s nothing behind it,” digital director Erik Johnson said. Now with more complete software, it impresses off-road with adjustable suspension, locking differentials, and driver-selectable front-to-rear power splits.
These Foundation Series launch-edition Dual Motor and tri-motor Beast trucks are pricey, but the mechanically identical, mainstream variants cost far less. They’re bigger and better at hauling and towing than similarly priced Rivian R1Ts. And what else garners this much attention for sub-exotic-car money? Value!
Range and efficiency figures are midpack, though Tesla doesn’t simplistically pile in expensive and heavy batteries like, say, GM did with the Silverado and Sierra EVs. Thus, the three-ton Cybertruck is somewhat lightweight; the GM trucks are a full ton heavier.

The House staying 222 vs 213 (projected currently, could change) despite Harris having 10 million fewer votes than Biden is pretty remarkable. It's not great, but it's nowhere near as bad as it could have been given the underperformance.

If Democrats as a whole performed at Harris's level, we'd be looking at:
- the loss of Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin (+1 GOP senator)
- the loss of Elissa Slotkin in Michigan (+1 GOP senator)
- the loss of Jackie Rosen in Nevada (+1 GOP senator)
- the loss of Ruben Gallego in Arizona (+1 GOP senator)
So 57 GOP vs 43 Dems, a huge swing from 51 Dems vs 49 GOP today (the 4 independents currently caucus with the Dems so I'm including them there).
The US House is expected to see the GOP maintain seats compared to 2022. The GOP won with 222 seats vs the Dems 213. If current leads and projections hold (big if, many states are still counting), the makeup remains the same, 222 vs 213.
Harris is currently 10 million votes behind Biden in 2020, with 71.2 million vs 81.2. It'd be pretty remarkable for Dems to hold their current seat count (and possibly expand it 1 or 2 seats) with those kinds of numbers and headwinds.
That was the original title of the video. Then it was "How to map ancient earth." And now it's what you said. Dunno why they have changed it several times!
But they do in fact attempt to map 1 billion year old earth.
