Why does most body hair - armpit/nose/pubic/leg - stop growing at a certain length, but head/beard hair does not? What's going on here

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

That sounds ideal, honestly. Thanks for teaching me something new, I didn't know this was a thing!

Oh these are lovely, this is definitely my style! 1 + 2 in particular. Most of the photo examples I found of that spiratone plura coat 20mm are landscapes, this seems much more fun up close I have not heard of helicoid adapters! How is that different than a telephoto converter, e.g. 2x converter?

I am using a Canon R50 right now, with an EF adapter. My favorite setup is a Pentax 50mm f1.7 (so stacking two adapters) that I keep wide open for shallow DOF, typically shooting fairly close up with most of the frame out of focus. I got this lens with my first camera (ME Super) and I still love it

Ben Holmen @benholmen.com · 08/09/2026

That sounds like a fun lens, I don't think I've ever heard of a fixed aperture! I keep my favorite lens wide open 90% of the time so that's right up my alley. Any suggestions to find a similar lens?

Twin Cities, I need to have this trailer sandblasted and powdercoated. Got a single quote $1500-2250. If anyone does this work or has a referral for a place that works on large powdercoat jobs like this, please let me know. Also looking for someone to help out with a new PCB design for the lights.

I built a custom art installation / instrument for Eaux Claires and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! 3 modes: play live, record, or play back. Each recording got a custom receipt that could be scanned for playback 450+ people recorded music on it and it played 400,000 notes in 2 days

I got the shot. I've been scheming and hoping the conditions would work out for this for two weeks!! 🪶

A broad-tailed hummingbird hovers next to an anise hyssop plant framed by purple blooms and with a rainbow behind it!!! The bird also has a little bead of water on its bill because it is raining.

There's really some magic in "you cared enough about this to will it into existence? What's wrong with you (complementary)" And I agree we're losing that.

These are lovely! I really appreciate how serendipitous pottery is, you can't force it to be perfect even if you try. A nice contrast to coding

A little sticky and still today. Tomorrow's looking perfect, mid 70s and dry. Next week we might get an inch or two of rain, which we need. How's the weather in your neighborhood?
