From the article:

"Stellar streams are elongated threads of gravitationally entwined stars that have likely been ripped away from their parent galaxies or nebulas by the gravitational pull of other nearby galaxies. Scientists have mapped dozens of these streams within galaxies, including the Milky Way. But until now, none had been discovered in intergalactic space, meaning the space between galaxies.

In the study, which was published Nov. 30 in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, the researchers identified and mapped the first-ever intergalactic stellar stream, which stretches through the Coma Cluster, also known as Abell 1656, a group of more than 1,000 small galaxies located around 321 million light-years from Earth. The researchers named the first-of-its-kind structure the Giant Coma Stream — so named because it is also the largest stellar stream ever found.

"This giant stream crossed our path by coincidence," study lead author Javier Román, an astrophysicist at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, said in a statement. The team was initially studying halos of dispersed stars around the Coma Cluster, in an attempt to measure the dark matter that surrounds the galaxy group, when they came across the starry trail."

Testdisk is great. I recently cleaned a drive with diskpart and after the initial 100bpm "oh shit, wrong drive" moment, I fixed the partition structure with testdisk. Took a while, but pretty simple and easy to use.

"Because the light from these galaxies had to travel for so long to reach Earth, it provides a window into the past. The research team estimates that the light detected by JWST was emitted by the two galaxies when the universe was about 330 million years old and traveled for about 13.4 billion light years to reach the JWST. But, the researchers said, the galaxies are currently closer to 33 billion light years away from Earth due to the expansion of the universe over this time. "

Ha ha, a post about the Eee! Dug my 1000H out of the attic a few weeks back, put Mint xfce on it and it works great, pretty zippy! Then I put it back in the attic.

No prob! Coupled with zero ads, it's like it used to be back in the day, just.. well, an article with some images. Good luck!

That ReNamer program is soo handy and better laid out than similar apps. So fast, you're not kidding about a few clicks.

Yeah, that's the whole being confident in your own skin thing. Tricky. Why not try clean, neat casual clothing first, like jeans/slacks, nice shirt, good shoes and put on a nice 'internal' suit first, good manner, curtesy/politeness, easy demeanor, well groomed, etc. that reflects what you want to be, or the reaction/response you seek from others. For those not terribly fond of the limelight/attention, any forced affectation will be pretty hard to carry. Sometimes it's just easier to blend in, depending on town, city, country. Sorry, got lost pondering your predicament. Hmm, tricky. Good luck.

Don't know what type of games you mean, but for scans and tidied up pdfs I use tesera.ru, boardgamer.ru, boardgamegeek file section, posts like this (https://t.me/s/Printandplaygame/39), soulseek and so on.

Edit, sorry, that insert word/url thing isn't working for me.

And RunningFromCake on YouTube has recently been making a load of videos for players of all sorts of experience levels, especially newbies and those who want to improve. Some great material there, well explained and shown. And he does challenge runs, making it look pretty easy, explaining his thinking as he goes. I found them to be a great help.
