See those "pinch points"? The river will eventually form meander cutoffs, and become a sinuous system rather than a meandering river. This will lead to localized increases in channel slope (due to a reduction in channel length), and therefore increased local velocities, shear stress, and sediment transport.
Rivers are always seeking equilibrium, so the channel will actually start to move (bank erosion / lateral shifting) to reduce that localized slope and bring things back in order.
The American Prospect has some really good recent articles about this. We've entered a new age of personal pricing. Companies have so much data on us that the price that I see when I visit a website is no longer necessarily the price that you see.
My Asus zenbook, purchased in 2015, is still going strong. They're pretty affordable and at least from my experience have held up well. I'm pretty sure you can run Linux on them too.
Kia and Hyundai skipped installing industry standard immobilizers in order to save money. The cars are incredibly easy to steal. Kia and Hyundai should be held responsible.
In my early twenties it was nearly constant. It's subsided greatly since then. At a certain point I think I just accepted that "there is no meaning, so it's ok".
So once you get there, and you start understanding capitalism, then that takes over as the most all consuming topic.

Rivers are so fucking cool.
