It's just, you know, and it's going to be a big change for us. And they said, well, we want to say goodbye. And he's like, you want to say goodbye to a machine? They said, yeah. So they decided they wanted to have an Irish wake.

The next night, the next night. It was amazing. There were people giving speeches. There were people like screwing off little pieces of the machine to take home as keepsakes. But I've always thought that was a really lovely story because it represents both sides. You know, it represents the sadness of having to give up something that you've

But, you know, it's really hard, I think, if you've always lived your life in a developed country where you open the tap and safe drinking water comes out to really understand the day to day circumstances of people who don't have that luxury. And what they came to realize was that if they tried to do this thing as a commercial enterprise.
