Well, one good thing about that, uh, generous "humanity, whom I love" comment is it got this Miles Davis favorite stuck in my head:

I own thousands upon thousands of CDs, upward of 8,000, maybe more, having purchased my first discs (Remain in Light, Discipline, Violent Femmes, Thursday Afternoon) in 1985/86. Not one has ever been put in my CD player and failed to play.

"Spreading Deadly Pathogens Under the Disguise of Popular Music"
The authors designed music to trick the sensors in a biolab to leak hazards. The music triggers resonant-frequency thresholds used in the safety system. (My poor paraphrase.)

Important life update: I have stopped having 8 browser tabs open with different Gmail accounts and now use the Mail app on my Mac.
I’m still new to reading modern British crime novels. My Kindle kept pointing out stuff readers had highlighted, and I couldn’t sort out what was special about those particular sentences. Then I realized what was going on. The readers had marked clues as the book progressed.
