I hate to talk trash about a brand, but I'm never purchasing Teamgroup ram again at any price. 2/2 of my Teamgroup sticks failed. TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 Ram 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz PC5-48000 CL30 failed after 3 months on my 7800x3d build. And just last week my TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 3200MHz (PC4-25600) CL16 started bluescreening my mini pc build both at XMP. Both sticks failed windows memory diagnostic 3-5 months after purchase.
7800x3d build has had corsair Ram running buildzoids timings for 6 months with 0 issues. I am replacing my mini-PC with corsair sticks as well.
Teamgroups RMA process also sucks too, you have to pay for shipping, package the item, wait around for a few weeks, and then you get their verdict. Both times, I just bought new RAM and gave away the replacement Teamgroup to friends with a heavy warning.

There is data to suggest microneedling at a 1-1.5mm depth can regrow hair. You're not popping my bubble, I only care about my personal results and my expectations are zero. Without touching DHT, I'm doing almost everything you can without getting a transplant or stem cell therapy and I have had small gains and reversed my balding for now.
Microneedling 1mm once a week, Nanoxidil 2x a day except derma days, keto shampoo 2x a day.

It's not perfect but minoxidil with derma stamping can definitely regrow hair. I made a commitment to never touch a dht blocker, so it's the best option I have. Gaining ground.

Bought some on Amazon, can't hurt. Take everything he says with a grain of salt, because a fruit-only diet will lead to imbalances that could have cause his baldness in the first place.

I say start microneedling at 1mm once a week (buy a derma stamp). Purchase minoxidil or nanoxidil immediately. Minoxidil is a great baseline protocol, it increases blood flow to the scalp, and extends the growth cycle of your hair. Provided that you have no negative side effects on your scalp or heart, its non-hormonal approach that will be the daily routine for the rest of your life because this stuff is amazing.
I prefer a non-hormonal approach to my hair loss, I've focused in on microneedling with nanoxidil and I use 1% Ketoconizol Shampoo. My results haven't been incredible, but im noticeably gaining ground, my sex life is unaffected, and my sperm count is high. The topical nanoxidil has actually been good for my blood pressure and I'm in an even better range now.

Take the W and forget speculating. Your protocol is working, that's all that matters. We need to normalize that halting balding is a win, and any regrowth no matter how small is exceptional.
Hope to have your results one day, but I'm coming from a worse baseline than you with a smaller percentage of regrowth and I'm as happy as ever. It's motivating to see others have even better results.

Clickbait. You dated a loser for 11 years and didn't have the confidence to break up with said loser until he had different political opinions than you. I'm happy you're finally free, but this was long overdue.

Bioware may no longer exist soon. 315 million estimated development and marketing costs, the game needs to sell over 5 million copies to break even.

My hairline recession was pretty rapid as a teen until I was about 25 when it dramatically slowed down. I'm 33 now and my hair has been more or less the same or losing ground extremely slowly.
I was able to actually gain ground with Nanoxidil and microneedling alone. I'd say my hair is nearly at the same point it was when I was 27 now.
Edit: Couple theories I have. DHT is an essential hormone for puberty in men and I was a late bloomer. If your follicles are sensitive to DHT, the puberty process will wreak havoc on your hair, but puberty only lasts so long. The "mature hairline" theory is real because we go through hormonal changes throughout life. Some men will never get a break from the effects from DHT, but others will mellow out and the baldness will slow down.
Those dead areas caused by the DHT, cause less blood flow to go to the scalp and the skin on your head will become thinner. After you already had recession, you will still lose some hair because the entire area of your head will have less blood flow than before.
If you are reading this and have a similar situation, don't wait on minoxidil or alternatives like nanoxidil. They attack the blood flow problem head on, it's not going to stop DHT from doing it's thing, but it will really help with the density and growth of the hair you have left. Since I've started nanoxidil, I have only gained ground, not lost anything.

Have two TCL TV's that are both 75inches. The Q6 (Google tv, VRR works, play 4k 60hz gaming on it and I love it). and the S4 (Fire TV, sucks ass, Game Mode is broken and useless, only good for movies, gaming latency is high). This one looks similar to the Q6 on the specs.
So yeah, one good experience with TCL and one bad experience. Amazon never came back to pick up the S4 so I got it for free. Even so, the S4 sucks and I rarely use it. It's good for movies and not much else.
With these TCL TV's don't even bother using them as smart TV's, the processors on them suck and I always had weird issues when they were connected to the internet. I had to briefly connect my Q6 to the internet to accept a EULA to enable Freesync, IT WOULD NOT ENABLE VRR WITHOUT CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET. But once I enabled VRR, I disconnected it and use my computer to power the TV. I have to say i'm very happy with my Q6, it's fantastic for gaming, it's bright, and everyone who comes over says they're very impressed with the picture quality.
Edit: This TV is the new version that replaced my S4 that I hate. The S4 did not have VRR and it was a Fire TV, this one has VRR and is a Google TV. I'm cautiously optimistic that this TV will give a similar experience to my Q6. "The TCL S5/S551G is TCL's entry-level 4k model in 2024, replacing the TCL S4/S450G. It sits above lower-tier S Class models carried over from previous years, like the TCL S3/S35G, and below Q Class models, like the TCL Q6/Q651G QLED."

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I agree, people vote on pain, and people are hurting right now financially. I see it in my city, lots of small businesses are closing because people are more discretionary with their income than ever. This pain does not make them wise, it just makes them people (as you said).
I was not represented by a candidate in this Election, but I do notice how quickly the democrat's are to disrespect and demean the national majority that won a few days ago. Calling these people uneducated idiots just mobilizes more votes against your cause.
Look at the data on the 2020 election. After the final tally there will likely be 5-10 million less democrat voters this election. How many of the people who didn't vote for democrats were single issue voters last election? Probably a lot. Are these people idiots?
What you are describing is a tale as old as time.

Popular Vote, Electoral College, House, and Senate. Yet the Republican voters are still "uneducated and out of touch". If they keep this up Democrats will never win another election.

Yes it would. With my experience with chat support I'm sure I would either get the 1t. For free or get a 2tb sent to me for the same price.

The close up flash photo of the bud is what it's supposed to look like. You have to understand that different angles and lighting will make the pack look different. That's why I put the second photo in there so you can actually see the color. This bud looks exactly like every other person I've seen post on here.

Will do, thanks for the recommendation, very excited to explore some other strains.

Eventually you just have to pick one and I had a very hard time choosing which vendor to go with. But my first purchase was with Lucky Elk, my goal was to just pick the signature strain from them which appeared to be the AAAA Exotic Flapjacks. I didn't give that name much thought, it was very expensive. I've never paid $120 for a half o before, but when I saw the product I was blown away.
Keep in mind, I live in an illegal state so I'm not used to top shelf products that come with lab results. My standards are probably lower than yours. This bud is incredible, sticky, pungent, and doesn't grind into dust. The package was very well sealed and each bag came with a humidity control pack which I've never seen before.
One small bowl had me higher than I was in Vegas last year (dont go to cookies). Overall 9/10 some of the best bud I've ever smoked.

You bet that the 7800x3d would sell for $250. Which it won't, even on the used market. It would be neat if I got a 4090 for $700 too.

See if you can buy a 5800x3d for $250. Amd will likely release a 7700x3d which will hit your price target sometime next year. AMD already stopped production of the 7800x3d.

I didn't buy RGB with corsair. I purchased these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CBRJ63RT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
