Like, I guess that's how the best way I would describe it to you. It's something that could be both physical and cyber related. So push a button, pull a lever, but you can also sit on your couch and push a button on your phone. And people are like, oh, cyber physical. Wouldn't that just be IOT? I'm like, not necessarily.

We've got some we've got some branding term issues we need to deal with in order to make this more mainstream, even though it is mainstream because we all eat and we all work and around this a lot. And I don't I don't think it's us. I don't know. I don't know what it is.

It makes us look crazy all the time. I mean, you have hard hats behind you. I mean, I have had to wear multiple hairnets and like basically a shield and you have to like put yourself into a zip up like white suit and booties. Like it is not, you are not attractive. You look like a steak puff marshmallow. What went wrong? But I still love it.
