This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.

In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.

It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

Police in UK can now take women's phones and check their period tracking app

Several women's health and safety organisations have spoken out against the 'shocking' new guidance, vowing to 'aggressively challenge' it

"New guidance in the UK has handed British police the power to trawl through women's phones if they suspect said individual has undergone an illegal abortion.

As per an announcement made by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) last month, officers investigating the causes of stillbirths, miscarriages and unexpected pregnancy losses will now be permitted access to check menstrual cycle tracking apps.

The alleged aim of the incoming procedure is to 'establish a woman’s knowledge and intention in relation to the pregnancy.'"

I'm hoping the internet might be able to help me.

My favourite pen, ever, was a Papermate FelxGrip Ultra MED in Purple, which I bought from the student's union in Huddersfield about 20 years ago.
I've lost it about 10 years ago (i changed the ink inside of it many times), but I've never forgotten about my favourite pen and i deeply regret ever losing it. I've found pictures of it online but it seems out of stock everywhere. If you can help me get another one just like it, I would be ever grateful. I've attached a picture of what it looks like (though I think mine might have had a black cap, but im not THAT picky). Please! help me find my pen!

If you were looking for a service manual for some 1980s / early 90s video equipment and you've already tried archive.org , where would you look?
There's a scan available on servicemanuals, but it's $35 and I'm not sure its the one I need.

PHP has been a profound positive influence in my life. It has enabled me to meet people and experience things that I never thought possible. My life is better because of this fractal of bad design.

My impossible, traumatic, wonderful life that I have been privileged to share with all of you absolutely mental nerds. I love you all, so very very deeply.
