Yeah, I’m just waiting for someone to inventory one of those big warehouses where they are waiting to be decommissioned and find that there are less than there should be and that somewhere in eastern Europe a small backpack in a basement is quietly glowing.

There was but only as an add-on item so he had to order some socks to get the free delivery.

Yeah let’s not use the term “yardstick” here ok.
