Let the sun hit your chest, upper legs, butt, etc. Places that have suffered less skin damage over the years. And that you wouldn't mind getting a bit of sun damage since they are always covered in clothing.

It is unfortunate that the most clinically backed skincare treatment, retinols, cause so many problems for rosacea sufferers. Not to mention, the 1-month of breakouts people experience when they begin using them.

Most wealthy people spend another 1-2% of their income on property taxes and a bit on sales taxes, etc. I estimate I pay 53% of my income to taxes. I agree that 55% is unlikely tho
Re:Researchers find stem cells for hair regeneration

This is my surgeon's response to your question:
The angle, orientation and position of EACH AND EVERY transplanted graft (of hair follicles) determines the final naturalness of the outcome. This is determined by the “stroke” of the surgeon’s hand while making the recipient sites and cannot be changed by technicians during placement.
A typical poor outcome from a “chop shop” or inexperienced surgeon will likely be unnatural due to a combination of a poorly designed 2-dimensional hairline shape as well as poor angulation of the grafts creating a contrived appearance—like the example you described, but there are many other pitfalls that can occur.
An artistic surgeon will excel at the nuances of hairline shape, variations of transplanted density across the recipient area, graft size (1, 2 or 3 hair grafts) and angles of growth to create undetectability AND coverage at the same time.

A hair transplant isn't extremely expensive, and price is definitely not the limiting factor on the result you can achieve. They cost around $10k on the low end and $35k from the most expensive doctors in the USA.
Elon was lucky to have great donor sites for the hair. Likely also started using finasteride, minoxidil, and a DHT inhibiting shampoo right around when he got the transplant if not a couple years before.
I've had 3 hair transplants myself, and have spent enough time in and around hair transplant surgeon's offices to know that the vast majority of cases don't turn out as well as Elon's. Most people just don't have enough hair.

In the US every company pays unemployment insurance. When employees are laid off, they receive unemployment benefits from this fund until they find a new job (for up to 39 months). Severance is the company "willing" to paying the laid-off employee more money than unemployment insurance.

I despise my new Macbook's touchbar. I can't get to the volume button without stopping what I'm doing for 4-5 seconds to find the key, then press multiple buttons, I can't use the function keys, and it generally adds no value.

Assange has spent the better part of a year implying that Seth Rich was a Wikileaks source. If true, this is a shocking turn of events that could have broad implications.
If false, Assange will have permanently damaged his reputation, at least in my eyes.

My neighbors don't have a problem with me running the airbnb. They do it themselves, too, or at least like having the option to. The balcony was a mess but it wasn't damaged, nor did it cost anything to clean.

Airbnb is at fault because they do nothing to discourage partying on the platform. As a host, I am in a never-ending battle to keep partiers out of my home.
