As told in his interview with Joe Rogan, the way Jorge Masvidal learns
new techniques is to concentrate exclusively, at most, on two in a
training session and drill them until they become reflexive muscle

You can do a regular `git fetch ; git pull' on the emacs repo to see

  Sewol
  Asiana Airlines Flight 214
  Lion Air Flight 610
  Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302
