Brad, I got bad news.

Again?

Wait, what was the first one?

I don't know.

We could catalog it week by week at this point, I think.

Well, okay, this is minor.

for failed me this week. Oh, well, considering how long we've been talking about nanotap,

It's probably five years old at this point, four and a half years old at this point.

And they let loose yesterday night.

It made a really big loud crashing noise, yanked some cables out.

It was a little scary because, like,

I didn't know what it was that fell. And, yeah, the nanotap was evenly split behind,

between the box that goes with my headphones and the, uh, the, the table up underneath. So I had to kind of wedge it off and put more nanotap on there. Don't you love the nondescript crashing sound from another room? It's the worst. I had one of those yesterday and never figured out what it was. Oh, no. No, no. I heard something fall. Still couldn't tell you. We used to have a shower rod that would slide down occasionally.

And that one was one that you could immediately tell because it's like a crinkle,
