Hair is 100% genetic, products ain't going to do shit about that. It's all just a scam targeted at insecure men who want to achieve unrealistic body standards pushed by society. Just own the bald, or don't, do what you want to do and fuck society.

You are right in how wasteful it is, especially since it turned out a lot of those satellites don't even make it to 4 years.

However there is zero risk of space trash with Starlink. They orbit so low, it's basically within the atmosphere still. They need to constantly boost themselves, otherwise they fall down and burn up. So these satellites are coming down within years all on their own, even without any controlled disposal.

It's insanely wasteful, but it keeps SpaceX in business launching every week, which is kind of the point. But at least there isn't a Kessler syndrome waiting to happen.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's my laptop from work, I have zero say in what software it runs, I don't even have admin rights on it. None of my personal stuff runs Windows. But it might help other people on their own machines.

Not true actually, there are many hotels with excellent food. There is a hotel not far from me where a lot of people go to their restaurant even if they aren't staying at the hotel, it's just a really good restaurant in it's own right.

I've also been on holiday where we had excellent breakfast options in the hotel, even the ones included were very good. You just need to check for those when selecting a hotel. I've definitely had worse meal in some restaurants than I've had in some hotels, there's plenty of overlap there.

Please let them also remove all the XBox nonsense. The other day my laptop from work that runs Windows 11 Pro gave a big ass prompt if I didn't want to try XBox Game Pass with the new Doom game. It's basically an ad for games on a Pro machine, ridiculous.

Ah you are from the US? No then it probably won't be available. The US is very slow to make changes in retail. You only recently got those digital price tags that update constantly, we've had those for 10 years or so. In Europe the hand scanner or app self scan thing is very common.

Yup, that's the one.

I think where I live it's a company that offers the whole thing white label to supermarket and other shops. The systems are very similar across a bunch of different stores, but the branding is specific to the store. So their logo, their colors. Not just on all the UIs (both the scanner and the checkout), but also the physical hardware colors.

The hand scanners all run Android, the other day I got one that said Google Play Services had crashed. The scanner itself is probably made by Zebra and then customized by the company providing the scan and checkout solution.

It has become super common around here, to the point where I'm annoyed when it isn't an option and I have to use the self-checkout where you need to scan at the checkout.
