  • Balding is not related to testosterone, but rather Dihydrogentestosterone (commonly referred to as DHT). Although high testosterone levels often mean high DHT levels as well, it is possible to have high DHT whilst still having low testosterone levels.

    The amount of androgen receptors in your scalp is also relevant, some people are just unlucky and have lots of androgen receptors in that area and start balding at a young age despite average DHT levels

    That comparison is so bad that I’m not sure you are making it in good faith. Being mentally handicapped or belonging to a minority is not a choice, being obese is.

    If you make the conscious choice to be obese you really can’t complain about the consequences the same way the former can. And you especially can’t complain about people referring to you by the medically correct term




  • except that manufacturers account for that and calibrate such that what you think are 0 and 100% are actually closer to 20 and 80% respectively.

    It’s actually the other way around. A safe cutoff voltage to prevent battery degradation is about 4.2V, but most modern phones charge until 4.45V, so they can advertise a bigger battery capacity at the cost of long term battery health. Your phone essentially charges itself to more than 100%
