    Do you like footnotes? Do you like long, rambling lists? Then, this might be the thing for you: travisdowns.github.io/blog/2019/06/1… There, I smash my personal footnote count record (20). As for lists? It has lists *within* lists. The only thing left is to write it in LISP.

    @Wise, @scotiabank informs me that all @INTERAC transfers to Wise are blocked because it's a problematic destination, yet you still offer this option prominently in your UI. Maybe the three of you should grab a room and sort it out?
