Well, in a large scale, performing a gradient descent on the earth should always end at an ocean or at an endorheic basin. Sure, when you increase the "resolution" to meters or smaller, there will be an endless number of mini-endo

Sure, my apologies! WAI = working as intended. That is a common reason for closing a bug report, for example. Sometimes known as "that's not a bug, it's a feature".

Not that I know of, I've seen similar situations in previous workplaces (emails from a CEO) and retention was only required under certain circumstances, such as when undergoing a lawsuit. And that was emails, vs. social media messages.

Chrome does support other payment apps, not sure if Apple Pay blocks Chrome. Also, Chrome on iOS has to use the Safari rendering engine, since Apple blocks third party rendering engines, so not sure if that would actually work. Essentially,
