Nirsoft is timeless. Been using it for decades (although not lately). Volumemouse is as good today as it was in 2000. And highly as I regard Mark Russinovich (SysInternals), Nirsoft was way ahead of him.
If I'm being honest, I'd say pretty much right after the music industry sucked the last drop of blood from the actual musicians which has brought to where we are today: session musicians on shoestring budgets performing tunes written by repurposed advertising jingle composers.
This is very interesting. I do wonder what process drives the bamboo to form a node. So it's basically a pipe growing on its merry way then slams on the brake and by some means grows a disk 90° to the direction it was growing before it stopped. And that's assuming it stopped growing vertically before it decided it was time for another node.

It’s always growing up, even as it creates a node. The way it works is the hormones shoot down the stem from the tippy top (where the growth is happening) and tell a lower part of the plant to create a node there (even as the top continues to grow up)
Japan researchers have know about this for years. I don't know if Japan makes a big deal about publishing their findings but I watched a documentary several years ago which that went into very specific detail about the relationship between specific gut bacteria and Alzheimers. No disrespect to King's College - perhaps there is no overlap but this is more of an advancement than it is a breakthrough.
I am curious why you pretty much can't find any mainstream brand of coffee made from Robusto beans - I have never seen a Robusto bean coffee in any grocery store I've ever checked - all 100% Arabica. Seems like with 2x the caffiene there would be a market for it. There are plenty of high-caffiene specialty brands of Arabica - why not just get 2x in the same amount of coffee? Besides, I think the caffiene content they show on the labels is before roasting and the more they roast it, the less caffiene afterwards. There is a misconception that the darker, the more caffiene but its actually the opposite. Just dumb stuff I wonder about...
You can find Deathwish coffee in many grocery stores these days (it’s in most Safeways) and it’s a blend of robusta and arabica beans. Way overpriced with cringey marketing and not the best tasting, but meets your criteria I think
I'm not sure where to find whole beans but I'm pretty sure many brands of instant coffee (e.g. the Folgers and Nescafe of the world) actually use Robusto or at least a blend of Robusto and Arabica.
I bought some unroasted (green) robusta beans from sweetmarias.com and then roasted them. It wasn't bad, but I prefer arabica. It has a more earthy taste. Some espresso blends are part robusta.
