Somebody emailed me two technical questions about my valuations analysis.
Gemini said it could step in and gave suggested answers to both questions in a nice clear email.

An amazing story. Basically California salmon were transplanted to New Zealand 100 years ago, and they live naturally free of dams and hatcheries. Now they’re pushing to bring some back for the genetics.

California salmon must return to the mountains. It’s time to take a chance | Opinion

I hate this movie with a deep, deep passion. You have to bend over backwards to find anything redeeming in this awful translation. Ron Howard will have to answer for this to Saint Peter.
Three-hundred wigs. Too many cigarettes. Not enough money. This is the oral history of an “almost anti-Christmas movie” that became a holiday classic (and should have won Jim Carrey an Oscar).

This is my public announcement that I have acquired the brand name “New Coke” since Coca-Cola has not been using it for some time.
The group plans to launch a social network under the name "Twitter.new," possibly as early as late next year.
Operation Bluebird wants to relaunch “Twitter,” says Musk abandoned the name and logo
“Abandonment” offers rare chance to reclaim one of tech’s most recognized brands.

I see that Eileen Higgins is a top trending topic. I will add that she is a talented politician, not some new candidate. She has represented our area of Miami at the county level for almost a decade now, and she shows up at every library, church, etc. event. I’ve met her of course, she’s quite nice.
