Norway roll (ノルウェー巻き) ... Salmon was not popular or used for sushi until Norwegian salmon farming (1980's) was able to produce parasite free salmon.

There is so much content on youtube, especially independent music, that it's often I find that I need to purposefully watch things I want to see more of instead of letting autoplay or autorecommend take over.

Purposeful searching and watching habits make youtube much more enjoyable for me.

Of course `Dead Internet Theory` might be true, or at least feel that way, if you let the algorithms drive.

The most interesting question is the one that cannot be answered in the context of this project.

> How does decomposing and displaying my life in a database change who I am or who I want to be?

The quantitative display is interesting as well; there are multiple sources where this information could be gathered from by OEMs. It does make me wonder if someone is using Apple Health, Apple Credit Card, an iPhone, and using Apple Music if most of this information isn't already available and potentially displayed in a similar manner.

Apple of course is just used as an example.

Why are we discussing an article from 2017 with no real information besides, USA number 1?

Asymmetry is the key to airpower, if you don't have it you won't have it.

Look-first shoot-first is only one kind of asymmetric advantage.

You are correct GME has been on the NYSE Threshold list since 09/22/2020:

https://www.nyse.com/regulation/threshold-securities

It's still on the list.

You are only supposed to be able to hold naked shorts for "13 consecutive settlement days".

Wait until you guys see the prices for the "AAFES POGS" on ebay ...

Basically while you can use cash, coins are too heavy to justify shipping into country. AAFES instead prints "gift certificates" in the shape of a pog, in 0.05, 0.10, 0.25 denominations.

The resale value on these is hilariously high ... these are federally issued mediums of exchange being currency except in name only. And only useable in deployed locations.

Emacs has a unique feature as well, it can become the entire gui for anything you are trying to do; web browser, email client, IRC client, etc. all converted into plain text.

I even had it setup a few years ago to send and read tweets.

You should consider setting up a well known and repeatable folder structure for your email inbox.

You will need to file everything into a phonetically distinct structure for efficient navigation through your folder hierarchy. Nested directories in this case is not a bad idea.

I have seen this type of structure used very efficiently with a screen reader and Outlook in person.
