0:03.7	oh, I forgot to print the document while I'm upstairs and have to go upstairs again.
0:06.5	But now I've switched to like, good.
0:22.0	I'm glad I'm going again, right? Just do more. Or like, you're taking all this stuff to the beach and you didn't remember. Like, fine. Just walk back and forth five times. Who cares? I'm telling you, if we lived in the Stone Age, we would all be walking back and forth to
