Yeah, thanks Russell. Blowing balls of light. On video cameras I can actually explain that to a certain extent. Why you might see these balls of light in the video. The visual content that you do, but I'll leave that be for right now. I heard a story from a farmer. I want to share it with you. As you know, we have tariffs. We have tariffs that crap out of China, right? So in retaliation, one of the things that China did is, well, we're not going to buy you soybeans anymore. Okay? So, you know, this is, farmers have already planted the fields, and they're harvesting. And about, it took them like 50% of their harvest was going to go to China. And if China's not buying, then, you know, they have nowhere to sell it, because they were one of the biggest buyers of soy. So the average price of that soy is going for is roughly $8.20, I believe they said. But to plant it, fertilize it, grow it, water it, and get it out of the fields, is something like $11.50. So they're in the hole right off the bat, right? And the reason why the price is so low for actually selling these bushels of soy is because nobody wants to buy it, so there's too much of it, so therefore the price goes down. Now here's the second part of the story. Let me reset. So in Argentina, they're going broke. And as you guys know, the Trump administration is going to send $20 billion, I believe, dollars to shore up their economy. And so, you know, everybody in Argentina is happy, right? And they should be our friends. Well, they just stopped their export tax on their soy, and now China is going to buy the soy from them instead. And there's no chance of farmers here in the United States being able to sell the product, that other 50% of the product, which I guess will go to waste, or maybe they'll be able to figure out something to do with it, but I just thought that was an interesting story. Anyways, back to net control. Take it away, Russ.
