  • Not exactly.
    You’re supposed to apply the treatment and expose your scalp to low-angle sunlight that’s slightly mottled. Something about the incident angle of the light rays paired with the low intensity (due to the dappling) just supercharge the hair growth process.

    Experts recommend applying the mixture to your scalp an hour or two before sunset, and going for a walk through a wooded area. You should begin to see results immediately.
    The hair will grow in very fast during your walk with a large central cluster that may appear to be a black speck or oblong shape. It will sprout with 6 to 8 longer hairs that may appear to be segmented, and may even move with the lightest breeze or touch. This is normal. It’s common to feel a pinching, itching, or even burning sensation with each hair cluster that appears on your head. If new hair clusters stop appearing while outside, please reapply the sugar-water mixture to your scalp.

    It’s not recommended to shower after returning from the forest. This may wash away the delicate new hair clusters before they can root. You should also avoid this in the early morning, as the hair that grows under early morning light is silver and very fine. For some reason this very fine hair has a tendency to grow on your face, even if you have not applied the solution there.

  • Using an IQ scale that only classifies scores into categories of 0-49, and 50+, I’ve determined I’m as smart as Einstein.

    … which is to say, it’s a bit silly to assume a classification system with a “catch all” maximum is going to produce equitable results in that maximum range. (Not that they are bad systems, just that you can’t compare things in that range without qualifiers.)
    Never mind that how directly a flare is aimed at the earth factors heavily, too.







  • I’m slightly less concerned about inflation than I am that the U.S. is on the verge of having its geopolitical power collapse while also nearing the conclusion of a slow moving coup that has been in progress since the 1980’s. The end result of those things will likely be a religious ethnostate, or naked corporate control of every aspect of our lives. Maybe even both!

    But it’s a point well taken. The future in the U.S. is slightly uncertain and possibly not as fucked as I fear, but the present in Ukraine is a known entity.


  • Ooh. Sweet! Thank you!
    They’re on the research list.

    I almost bought into the Ubiquity ecosystem when I looked last time, but folks complained that the company seemed to be shifting focus a bit, and the first glimmers of them requiring user accounts started to appear. I wound up deferring until it unexpectedly became an emergency issue with a rushed replacement from a big box store.


  • About 23 years ago I couldn’t make it boot when I plugged in a USB hub.
    And since, my life just became too invested in Microsoft/Adobe products to be able to use something else as a daily driver.

    But I “use” Linux every day - whether it’s the PiHole, the NAS, the server that runs my 3D printer, or WSL in Windows PowerShell. I’m about to spin up my own OPNSense router, too.
    Weird trajectory on WSL - I learned Unix commands using MacOS terminal for a previous job, but I generally abhor windows command line (it just doesn’t work with my brain). So now when I use commend line in windows, I default to *nix.

    It sort of works out that I use Macs for personal use, Windows for work, and Linux to run the systems of my life.
