Went up to Baltimore for Sail250, to see and tour the tall ships of various nations. I complimented the Swedish naval academy students on the barcode on the side of their ship. The young Ensign was confused. I explained, "So you can Scandinavian."
A Scandinavian flag hangs from the back of a masted sailing vessel. A larger Peruvian vessel sits in the background.

Youngest loves music so I put VLC their phone and we use a converter to get MP3s (protects from youtube rabbitholing). Today they wanted a new tranche of music converted. Says to me, "Please help me install more music on my traffic cone." Reminded me of
An image of a protestor whacking riot cops with a traffic cone; the text reads "Protestor helps cop install VLC media player."  The joke's context is that VLC's icon has always been an orange traffic cone.

For the n=1 case, there exists at least 1 "C" in C5ISRT. Assume that we have created an acronym with n "C"s: C(n)ISRT. This acronym describes a capability that either we or our adversaries must counter, requiring a C(n+1)ISRT to do so. Therefore, it's C∞ISRT. Turtles all the way down.
