This already happened, splitting into dozens of niches - it's just the niches didn't reform on Reddit. The ML community gradually migrated from here to twitter a few years ago.

Did she lose the ability to speak entirely, or is it more that it's become unintelligible? If the latter, and you haven't seen this already, I came recently came across a google project aimed at speech recognition for non-standard speech https://sites.research.google/relate/

And best wishes to both of you. Hope you eventually find a way for her to more easily communicate.

It was just such a perfect match for the vibe of the time.

It was a really optimistic time in a lot of senses. A world of primary colors (before everything gradually got darker with 9/11 and the resulting war on terror propaganda), and the music mirrored that perfectly.

Smash Mouth's All Star video is almost like a Rembrant painting of what the mood was as a teenager back then. Ha.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat actually - they sound vaguely familiar...

OP, there were a lot of pop-punk bands around that time. A LOT. You'd see entire festival line-ups that were pretty much just 100 pop-punk bands, a bit of ska, and maybe some nu-metal thrown in.

These guys probably had a following that any guitar band today would die for, but due to the sheer level of competition, didn't really capture wide attention.

There are food delivery drones in my area. You don't hear them. Their rotors are too big, and they fly too high, unlike infernal ratty photography drones you normally see.

You might hear them gently as they do a drop-off, but it's quieter than the car or motorbike that would otherwise be delivering the food.

> don't you hear the person's voice & the sound of the voice makes you think of the person & if you think of a person who makes you sick, it's gonna remind you how much they make you sick. so yeah, you can say you separate it, but realistically how much do you actually separate

I find this depends on what the artist is singing about. If it's something completely incongruent with their behaviour or beliefs, like say Chris Brown singing about women, I have to switch the song off.

But if it's something entirely unrelated, I don't really tend to get those thoughts as much.

Spotify's collection of recorded classical music is vast, with many of the best ever recordings of pieces on there. Some famous pieces, such as beethoven's works, have 100 different versions.

It can be worth googling the piece, to see what comes up about it, and its history, and the different interpretations.

In terms of the range of difference between what the original might have sounded like, vs a modern interpretation, you could check out the Voices of Music version of Pachelbel's Canon, vs say the Neville Marriner version. The VoM version is performed on vintage instruments, and they try to adhere to what their belief of how it would have been performed, whereas Marriner's version is the more familiar version to our ears.

This is probably at the more extreme range of variance in interpretation, as the piece is so old, and little of Pachelbel's music survived. Interpretation differences for something like Paganni's work would be more subtle.

But what's most interesting, is how different interpretations can be of a composers works while they are still alive. Recordings exist of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, featuring Gershwin himself, in 1924 and 1927.

There are some quite noticeable differences in interpretation, even between these two performances.

Narrowly targeting very specific species of mosquito shouldn't cause major issues. Certainly compared to existing approaches to deal with them during severe disease outbreaks, which is basically to carpet bomb entire cities with insecticide.
