Is it possible to learn this power?
  • Surgery isn't the only solution, there are medications, like Finasteride, that actually prevent hair loss by blocking the hormone that causes it. But some people do just have thick gorgeous manes their whole life without help.

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?
  • Orange

    Male

    He was a server in a black waistcoat, white shirt. He was brushing the ball off the table before setting plates down.

    It was a ball from a kid's ball pit, so a little bigger than a baseball, smaller than a softball.

    The table was round, with a red gingham table cloth.

    The orange ball on the red gingham table cloth were there immediately, once instructed to visualize a person pushing it, it only made sense that it was a server, since the table seemed restauranty.

  • Cremorne (Horse)
  • Cremorne was a difficult horse to train, owing to his extreme laziness: he was known to fall asleep during breaks in exercise. He also had an apparently insatiable appetite and would eat anything edible within his range. On one occasion he contracted a near-fatal bout of colic after eating all of his bedding straw.[3]

    Maybe he was just more interested in naps and snacks than lady horses. 🤷‍♂️

  • Why do shows on streaming platforms waste time with "previously on" recaps?
  • I've been watching Murder She Wrote and each episode has a "this time on Murder She Wrote" at the beginning that is kind of a convoluted spoiler for the episode. I don't know who would want that, especially on a mystery show.

  • Satanic Temple opens 'religious' abortion clinic, promotes 'abortion ritual'
  • The Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic is in New Mexico, where abortion is legal at all stages of pregnancy. The new one, the Right to Your Life Clinic is in Virginia, where it is legal in the first two trimesters.

  • There's a butt in that flower!
  • Those are some cuties! The ones in the upper middle are especially honey bee-like. One sure fire way to ID is that only bees wear pollen pants (but not all bees are always wearing pollen pants).

  • What do you think of the black sexual stereotype?
  • It's been on my mind lately because of some Trumper relatives who are currently screaming about how "Kamala Harris is a slut."

    She dated Willie Brown for a year, just before he was mayor of San Francisco in 1994. He had been separated from his wife for twelve years at that point, and she was also single when they met and started dating. Even so, the Fox News crowd is enjoying the refrain "She stole a black woman's husband!!" (predatory promiscuity)

    They also parrot the phrase "She slept her way to the top." She was already an assistant district attorney when they met. He was the speaker of the California State Assembly and was known for handing out high paying state appointments to his friends. He appointed her to two boards- the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission, consecutively. Both paid well and gave her experience and connections in politics/public service, which may have helped her when she ran for and won the elected position of District Attorney fifteen years later, but certainly did not guarantee her the job.

    But any excuse to be publicly racists and diminish the accomplishments of a Black woman while sexually shaming her get pounced on with enthusiasm.

  • What is up with the whole spooky season" thing?
  • Halloween is just one day/night. Spooky Season runs from early September to the beginning of November or whenever people get around to taking down their Halloween decorations. Also, it's cute and fun.

  • You ever read something so good, it made you depressed that it ended?
  • I had a similar, but opposite experience. I got very into The Three Body Problem. The Dark Forest was good, but not really my cup of tea, but I'd heard such good things I carried on. I did not like Death's End one bit and was really trying to slog through but threw in the towel half way through, looking for something light and fun and magical to cleanse the palate after that gory depression fest. I picked up The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett (delightful) and didn't read any sci-fi for a year or so.

  • Zillow will now show climate risks for property listings in the US
  • Redfin has been doing this for a while. It's like "Oh wow! That amazing property is wildly within my price range! ....oh... 100% chance of flooding in the next 30 years... but only 9% chance of wildfire! I like those odds!"

    Apple Rankings by a guy who has big feelings about apple varieties.

    >🏅 #1 RANKED YELLOW APPLE > >The Opal apple looks like it shit itself. I apologize for being uncouth but there is no more apt observation. Just look at the top of it. The Opal apple looks like a jaundiced, freckled, unwiped anus. In fact, this may be the ugliest apple of the modern era. That being said, if you’re going to be an ass, you might as well be a good ass. And like a good ass, the Opal apple is exceptionally sweet and juicy. In fact, the complex flavor profile featuring hints of banana, coconut, and pear make this Czech-born, oddly-named monstrosity a delight to consume. And while the outside may be stained with a toddler’s accident, in an ironic twist, the interior of the apple does not brown for quite some time. So I say, if you’re looking to spice up your life with something a little different, close your eyes and eat ass. Who am I to judge? > >BONUS POINTS: +2 Taste

    No spoilers please, but does Old Man’s War get better?

    I’ve been really enjoying John Scalzi’s catalog- Started with Starter Villain (delightful!), The Kaiju Preservation Society (Sweet..), Lock In + Head On (fun who-done-its), The Android’s Dream (clever, enjoyable read), Agent to the Stars (funny, creative, pretty good).

    I’m half way through the first book of Old Man’s War and it’s depressing AF. I don’t see how it’s going to get any more light hearted, given the subject matter. All the aliens are enemies, more battle scenes than anything else, graphic descriptions of war injuries and deaths.. I’m not really compelled to keep going. Can anyone vouch for it being worth it to continue?

    Edit: I'm realizing that "better" isn't a good descriptor. I guess what I mean is "Will there be fewer graphic descriptions of injuries and death; as well as general despair on the part of the MC." It is a "good" book by all metrics except "feel-goodiness" and "Not making me queasy at descriptions of faces being blown apart." I'd come to expect a light and clever romp from John Scalzi, and from everyone's replies, he is more varied in his styles than I'd previously been aware.

    I'd been half hoping this would all resolve into a lovely, heartwarming story about how the universe was saved by a race of benevolent, highly intelligent cats who tricked everyone into getting along. I tried to go further this morning and am, for now going to set it aside after another scene with an exploding face.

    Thanks to all who replied!

    www.inquirer.com A river otter took a selfie in Ridley Creek, ending a 100-year absence for ‘the most elusive aquatic animal in Pa.’

    The sighting shows that the revival of the animal, which was once nearly extirpated from Pennsylvania, continues throughout the region.
