- Comment on Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning? 2 months ago:
I think Minoxidil is the only thing proven to work. You can take it orally or apply it to the scalp via a serum or shampoo.
- Comment on Second Life Concept: How Used Taycan Batteries Became An Energy Storage System for the Leipzig Plant 3 months ago:
The Taycan has only been around a few years. Are these batteries that have been replaced or were the original cars tossed? I’m glad the batteries are getting additional use, I’m just afraid of how much other waste is being created. I know my boss leases a new Porsche every 3 years and it breaks my heart to think they aren’t getting resold and are getting destroyed.
- Comment on Dollar stores are shutting down across America. They did this to themselves 7 months ago:
It’s true that items can cost more pound for pound, but there’s still a place in the market for them. I see a lot of elderly people shopping at the one near me. That demographic may eat very little and live in little spaces where it is hard to store bulk goods. They may have mobility issues and find it difficult to travel to Costco and carry/manage those large bulk items. Maybe getting rice and dry goods there is economical but produce, meats and breads may go bad before they are consumed in single person households.

If you don’t have 99 cent only stores in your area, you may not realize their stores are about 50% food and many people buy just essentials there. We also have dollar tree, which is mainly cheap crap. We just got a five below, now that store is entirely unneeded junk.

- Comment on Bernie Sanders unveils 32-hour workweek bill 7 months ago:
Exactly. I read the bill and it only protects currently employed workers. Its basically a grandfather clause. New employees will be offered 32 hour schedules and it will greatly disincentive job hoping. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bernie and every single thing he stands for. I’m just too exposed to C Suite mentality to be hopeful.
- Comment on Bernie Sanders unveils 32-hour workweek bill 7 months ago:
90% of my company is salary and already work more than 40 hours a week. It’s exciting to think that we’ll all get Fridays off but I bet most companies would just implement 2 hour staggered lunch breaks and office hours would still be 9-5 but people would only work 6.5 hours a day.
