Sensitivity of the hair follicles to baldness is genetic. Steroids can cause hair follicles to shrink, note the subjunctive - some people's hair follicles have a genetic resistance to  or tolerance for higher levels of DHT.

And who won't let out a peep when he gets his trained Muskrat to gut them, funnelling money into their bank accounts.

It's possible that historically the US may have used Canada as a dumping ground to bleed off excess stock when they've imported too much of it from Australia - aluminium can be stockpiled because once it anodizes, it doesn't corrode.You gave the lie to your statement with the qualifier: "after a quota of each product is reached."

Shazam, almost immediately a plane hits a military chopper over DC, and a medijet goes down over Philadelphia. It's probably too soon to blame His Royal Orangeness for this, but deleting those people whose primary responsibility is air safety is NOT going to improve the situation.

Greenlanders don't want to be American either, so if Trump wants to annex Greenland it will have to be invasion. Denmark is a foundation member of NATO, all members of which are sworn to defend each other against attack. This means that if the United States invades Greenland, the US military is under oath to fight against ... itself.

And while none of them were exactly paedophiles (Mandy was NOT a child), all three had sex with girls who were underage - ephebophiles.

Replacing clutch and differential bushes was doable but an uneconomic repair, would have cost more than the car was worth. And sourcing parts for a vehicle that old was also going to be tricky.So I've bought another one, this time a 2010 model. I got ten years out of the old beater and did very little to it beyond the odd grease and oil change, so it owed me nothing. They're reliable cars. Here's the weird bit:I bought the old one 10 years ago to the week, two days before Christmas 2014. Same age at time of purchase. And for exactly the same price, $6000.  less
