KB9-NSK, this is KC2-PKG. Couple of warnings here. There is an espresso called the Virtuo Pop Plus, which is one of their newest things, it's smaller. It uses the big pods, and that's a pretty good machine, looks like to me, and it's cheap. It's much cheaper than the ones I bought. But you will quickly discover that it's more than a dollar a cup. If you think of like a 12 ounce cup or something like that, well, it's more than a dollar a cup, no matter what size you do. So you really pay for the quality. But it's like driving a Mercedes, don't do it unless you wanna end up with one. Don't taste that coffee. What else? You know, sports, we were talking about sports a little bit. I was almost drafted into, actually wait, different, stay on coffee for a second. My son went to business school to get his master's in Spain. And that's a long story by itself. But he worked on a project for Nespresso. And Nespresso was looking to break into the American market. Did we drink a lot of coffee? And they want that. They want some of that money. But they were trying to come up with a device that cooked the coffee or made the coffee in a way that Americans would appreciate it. And the first thing was, Europeans drink little tiny cups of coffee. That's what they sell the most of, little espressos. That's what they do. Americans drink 12 to 16 ounces of coffee. And that's where this Virtuo machine came from. And he worked on the project that identified all the things the machine had to do. And then they went through and had user groups look at them. Do you like this? Do you not like that kind of thing? It's kind of a fun project he worked on in school. And he did, he got his international master's. And then went right down the drain. I was looking at what FBX wrote about paper never getting them a job. And I thought about it for a while. And the way they, you send in your resume and a computer goes through it. And used to be doing research. They go through and they look for all the key words that they want. And that's how they developed their final list. So if you're a manager and you say, I need a person who does this, this and this. They go through and they send you back 40 resumes. They have all the right keywords. And it may have no idea what the person's like. So when I got into the corporate world, it was with Chubb Insurance. And my brother-in-law got me in. He had a friend who was vice president of Chubb Insurance. And he called him up and he said, I got a brother-in-law who needs a job. I was selling liquor at the time. Well, not a liquor salesman. I was the bookkeeper for a liquor distributor. And man, that's a terrible job. If you ever want to see a grown man cry, hand him a check for a month's work.
