There was a hint of a possible motive though: "He was travelling with his brother, Kathiruddin, on horseback on the day he went missing. Police said a family feud had forced the two men to leave their home. " But yeah, seems like a pretty plausible accident.

Apology accepted! Let's just both agree to pick up some litter the next time we go to the beach.

Unfortunately my hometown still allows indoors smoking etc so we're still pretty far from a ban. But it will come I'm sure.

The problem with regulation is that most of these data giants are US companies, and due to regulatory capture since the 1980s you can't expect much to change there.

Amazing! I did not expect that outcome from my comment

I'm no expert, but I feel like anywhere they use an algorithm to drive up "engagement" it leads into people being fed rage-bait and then them acting accordingly. This "attention economy" needs to end somehow.

Wow that was a lot of vitriol in one post. Hope you're doing ok.

Over here these disposable vapes are unfortunately not banned (which I would prefer too) so taxation would be a step in the right direction. We do have litter here too though, as has been the case with mankind since day one of civilization.

Might only take until mid-term elections next year to have dems in power again. That could change things somewhat.

These things should be taxed heavily

How about routine?

Like, first thing every morning - brush your teeth, make your bed. Every thursday evening - clean your flat. Tuesday at 6pm - check with your closest friends if they have weekend plans.
etc

When folks call key change a modulation, what comes to my mind is the 70s disco gimmick to go one semitone up with the key on the last chorus.

Are we talking about a key change "modulation" or some modulation on synthesizer or fx parameters?
