I never used to think about the quality of my underwear until I got some from Saxx & Pair of Thieves. Now I can't imagine going back.
EDIT: Just made some. Verdict? The bean brownies taste just like the real thing. Mouthfeel is good, too. I've seen a few [recipes](https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/no-flour-black-bean-brownies/) for black bean brownies that people swear by, but also many complaints too. Have any of you tried these before? If not, would you?

Already love it! Would you willing to hide the status bar, or add a setting that hides it?

Minoxidil stimulates bloodflow around the follicles and pushes them into the growth phase. It's usually applied topically.
Finasteride reduces the amount of DHT inside the body, as the hormone can attack hair follicles causing scarring. It's taken orally. Some have complained of serious, permanent side effects after using this medication.

As far as I'm aware, you can't buy a prebuilt computer that ticks all of those boxes. System76 has Coreboot-supported laptops, but they don't offer it with their desktops because it's nearly impossible. And you can just forget about Libreboot, since it barely runs on anything. Neither is exactly ideal for modern systems, though...
The best you can do is build your own, but even then, it still requires the Intel FSP. Installing your own distro would be as simple as plugging in a flash drive with the installer when you're done.

Happy to see Meta booted from the industry, but I'm a bit concerned about Google no longer indexing news articles here...

Yup, just get SE. Mods need to be updated to work with the Anniversary Edition, and a lot of authors haven't done that yet. You'll need to downgrade SE, but there's an easy tool to do just that.
If you wanted to buy Special Edition for Steam, GMG (key seller with great reputation) has it on sale for roughly US$9.

I'd recommend the Steam version. But don't bother with AE; Special Edition has better mod support.

It's a possibility in the long term. Facebook/Meta is looking to start a federated Twitter alternative, and you can be certain other companies will observe it closely.
Whether or not this is a positive thing, however, is up for debate...

PSR B1257+12 (nicknamed Lich), has at least three known planets (Draugr, Poltergeist and Phobetor) orbiting in a close orbit around it.
Love the names.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the project, Skyblivion is remake of Oblivion inside the Skyrim game engine. They're remaking all of the assets and overhauling the maps, among other things. It's one of the most ambitious mods of all time, slated to release in 2025. This trailer was released back in January, but it seems many haven't heard the good news or even learned of the project yet. With the five year anniversary of the TES VI announcement and nothing to show for it, you'll probably get to play this before Bethesda gives us anything.

>Every star ages, but astronomers rarely get to watch it happen in real time. Now, they've gotten a front-row seat to the aging of an unusually chaotic star — and found that it's headed toward a spectacularly violent death. >The star, located in the nearby Triangulum galaxy (also known as Messier 33), is in the middle of a transition into a class of highly unstable stars called Wolf-Rayet stars. New observations show that the star has begun beaming a new signal that was not seen when the star was first spotted in 2018. >The new signal was detected in the peaks and valleys of the star's spectra, the wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation it emits, and shows that the star is churning either carbon or iron deep within it through nuclear fusion. The new signal also indicates that the massive star, easily 25 times the sun's mass, has inched closer to its eventual fate of exploding into a spectacular supernova. >Gaunt's team is calling the star BELLS 1, an acronym for "broad emission-lined luminous sources, the kind of wide range of emissions radiated by Wolf-Rayet stars. > According to NASA, Wolf-Rayet stars like BELLS 1 live fast and die hard, so watching one evolve is a rare and valuable opportunity for astronomers. Only 200 such stars are known to be in the Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers suspect that 1,000 or 2,000 more may be out there but are obscured by thick blankets of dust.
Edamame beans, hard boiled eggs and popcorn are my personal favourites.

Google released a new version of Android TV, but it can't be installed on Google TV dongles yet. I have to wonder if Nvidia will update their ageing Shield TV line-up?

>Originally scheduled to launch in September 2022, Psyche was scrubbed last year after delays in development and testing of its flight software. >Located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, Psyche is 140 miles/226 kilometers wide, rotates on its side and, according to its reflectivity, appears to be made largely of iron, nickel or gold. As such, planetary scientists think it could be a rare example of the core of a planet exposed to space in a cataclysmic collision. > It’s even been said that Psyche could be technically worth $10,000 quadrillion. That’s way more than the global economy, which is worth about $105 trillion in 2023 according to Statista. >Psyche is now due to launch from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A in Florida atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy between Oct. 5-25, 2023, conduct a flyby of Mars for a gravity assist and arrive at the asteroid in August 2029. It will then spend 26 months in orbit, making observations from different altitudes. >Now in an Astrotech Space Operations Facility near Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the spacecraft twill this month begin its final assembly, test and launch operations.
My mother loves Battenberg cake but she can't get it in Canada, so I decided to make her some instead. I didn't bake two separate cakes to get the tile pattern, but it tastes just as good. [This is the recipe we used as the base](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eOSxGtpAKo), substituting caster with fine white sugar. I would totally recommend it! The marzipan, apricot jam and sponge cake work so well together. 😊
