My god, Patrick Stewart looks like he hasn't aged in 30 years.

On another matter, does anyone else wonder who at TechCrunch thought it was a good idea to make scrolling to the bottom of the page be an automatic redirect away from the article?

The TechCrunch redirect behaviour is so insane that I had to try it a few times to really believe that it was happening. I am flabbergasted that anyone actually thought that was a good idea.

The X overlaying the text is a nice touch, too.

One of the benefits of early male pattern baldness. :)

Take off a fuzzy hat crackling with static in the dead of winter -- not a single hair out of place!

Roll out of bed, realize you didn't set your alarm and have to be out of the house in 2 minutes -- that's ok, just get up and go, the hair-mussing properties of sleep have no power over you!

The nasty mix of rust and oil that you get from working on the underside of a car can't get stuck in hair you don't have!

I would still choose hair over no hair, but that's only because its single redeeming quality is a big one: being attractive. On most other metrics, being bald is actually pretty great.

You're saving on haircuts and shampoo.
Re:Patrick Stewart Returns as Jean-Luc Picard for a New Star... by dghughes on Sunday August 05, 2018 @02:53PM (#17692816)
Shampoo yes, haircuts no same cost as unbald people :(

I don’t understand, I’ve (mostly) been using an electric beard/body hair trimmer to shave my head for the last 11 years.
Re:Patrick Stewart Returns as Jean-Luc Picard for a New Star... by dghughes on Sunday August 05, 2018 @03:08PM (#17692903)
Cost at a barber shop. If you go to one the cost for a haircut is the same for a man whether he is bald or not. And I get a #2 clipper all over too done in two minutes $25 plus tip.

Sure at home with an electric razor would be cheap but I tried and I can't get reach the back of my neck very well and it looks bad.

It's widely assumed that Stewart made some kind of deal with Satan, sometime around the filming of Dune, whereby he traded his youth for immortality. He thus looked about ten or twenty years older than he was at the time, but promptly stopped aging altogether.

The life-extending properties of the Spice are what did it. Same for Sting and Kyle Maclachlan.

To be fair, he looked a bit older than his actual late 40s when TNG started.

Re:Patrick Stewart Returns as Jean-Luc Picard for a New Star... by athom on Sunday August 05, 2018 @03:04PM (#17692887)
You should look him up from about ten years prior to TNG. He was in several episodes of I, Claudius back in 1976, thereabouts, and aside from the hair, he STILL didn't look much different.

He sounds old though.
