That kind of thing is also, I think, a signal of good taste. Actually, another a good example of good taste is um Oh my god, I'm blanking on the guy's name. Give me just a second here. Um David Lynch. So, David Lynch, uh director who just died. Um here, I'm going to put this in the in the um in the chat for people who can who can see it uh who are around.
