They can describe "in-between steps" in such cases, and that's more or less their point mathematically. They describe "real" things that happen, but whether they really physically exist or they're just a purely mathematical thing doesn't really matter for your average Joe, because you can't directly measure them anyway

In case any of you have wanted to "leave your mark" somewhere in my town, Słonecznikowo (People's Republic of Poland), I currently have 3 future builds where I'd absolutely love to see what someone else would build. Obviously, with some basic requirements in place, so that nobody just ends up constructing a wool dong ejaculating obsidian in the middle of my base, or some shit
Those projects are:
- A "permanently under construction" building:
In this desperate situation, all development and growth in the Polish economy slowed to a crawl. Most visibly, work on most of the major investment projects that had begun in the 1970s was stopped.As a result, most Polish cities acquired at least one infamous example of a large unfinished building languishing in a state of limbo. While some of these, such as the Szkieletor skyscraper in Kraków, were eventually finished decades later, most were never finished at all, wasting the considerable resources devoted to their construction.
- A traditionally-styled Catholic church
- A really wonky, 1960s-1980s sci-fi/futurism-looking church that doesn't even look like a church (see: [1], [2])
I don't really log in here almost at all anymore, so if you're interested, please contact me in-game!

My hair behaves very similarly to yours, and wigs helped me a lot there. Good news is - wigs with long (i.e. stereotypically feminine) haircuts are IMO the easiest ones to wear without fuss.
I can't name any specific shops in Canada, as I've only bought mine from local shops in my area. I know lots of people on "the other place" swear by wigs.com - I saw a lot of comments about it while researching wigs myself - but I have never even browsed it, so I can't properly recommend it myself. However, I can give the following pointers:
- Measure your head before buying one. If you figure your head is too large, you will need to shop for wigs specifically for large heads
- Synthetics are (or can be) just as good as human hair ones, of not better. They're very low effort (whereas human hair ones require more effort), look just as good, and don't get frizzy in humidity or other wet conditions.
- Look for anything that says "medical-grade" or something adjacent. Cosplay/carnival/"for funsies" wigs will naturally look shit
- I'd generally avoid wigs without a "lace front" (or similar) part. Wigs without it will look less natural
- If you pick a wig that's close to your natural hair colour and shape, you don't even have to fully hide your bio hair 100%. Some can show through and jt will still look normal.
- Don't believe the wig manufacturers who'll tell you that their synthetics only last 3 months, as thry are only saying that so you spend more. Reality is that (for synthetics, at least) they will last multiple years with proper care, or, hell, sometimes even without
- Don't feel like you should wash it often. Unless it makes your head smell bad or the hairs look like they legit need a wash, there's no reason to. Even with heavy use in warmer weather, it generally takes me several weeks until it actually needs a wash.
- Avoid wigs longer than armpit-length, because the friction from chairs/etc is bad for them and will make the fibers look worse faster
Personal suggestion: Get an appointment for a consultation and/or demo at a reputable local shop. That's their job, and they're not there to judge you or shame you or make fun of you. They're there to help and they see dozens of clients like you regularly. You don't need to buy anything from them per se, but they can help you try out things and see what suits you more etc.

My mom apparently saved my life twice when I was a baby, just because she saw a dream that warned her about it, waking up instantly and giving me first aid. What was happening to me both times was not something that makes a sound. Similarly, a couple times in my life I've somehow seen a dream where I foresaw a situation that would actually happen that day & proceeded to actually save someone else's life
For some weird fucking reason, a lot (if not all) of the women I'm related to from my mom's side have such stories too. Go figure...
