Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning? in c/nostupidquestions

I started balding in my late teens. Shaved my head for the first time at 20. Never looked back. Wished I'd done it sooner.
Still remember an offhand comment from a girl who said I have a nice shaped head.
A quick once over with the clippers once a week and you're good.
Whatever you decided to do don't stress about it! I'm sure that will only make it worse.
Bonus: the freshly shaved head acts as velcro to keep your hat on during windy days!

So, apparently, the term goofy came from the 1937 Disney animation Hawaiian Holiday, where goofy was trying to surf and he tried twice regular and fell then when he tried it the other way he managed to stay up.
This was only so that he would always be facing the 'camera'.
This may not be true but I like it and don't want anyone to disprove it.

It throws up a false positive in the old scanners. There are new ones available that don't have a problem but they aren't widely available yet.

I just finished 'the year of the locust'.
It's 85% good spy thriller and the last bit gets a bit weird.
Normally I love weird books but I felt like this one didn't stay on its 'track'. Still definetly recommend the previous book by the author 'I am pilgrim' it's great.

If I recall correctly the fastest object ever was a manhole cover after an explosion. If it was sentient then it would be the fastest creature.
BRB, going to look up the incedent.
Edit: Here you go

If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work? in c/asklemmy

Yep, that's close enough. Although we mostly use a gamma radiation source as x-rays are electronically generated, we aren't near a plug and the equipment is often cumbersome.
There are portable x-ray generators that run off a 20v dewalt battery. But their effective penetrative power means it's only viable for very thin walled pipes.
