And I think there are a lot of important lessons for us in a dating context, which is it is not necessarily finding the person who is the funniest or the most attractive or has the best salary or has the dog that you get along with the absolute best.

And then you can play around with the number of dates you would need to go on to likely meet that person. So it gives you a probability where it would say, you know, after you've gone on seven dates, if you decide there are 10 good matches out of these 100, then it will spit out the probability that you'll have met them after that seventh date.

And so for those listeners who may be a little bit more mathematically inclined, it may be a fun thing to just kind of play around with. And it gives you some ideas for, you know, playing with some parameters and understanding what the probabilistic implications are.

Yeah, absolutely. I think there can be this temptation to want to always use the freemium version of whatever software it is and feel like we're gaming the system. We're getting the free version of Zoom. We're getting the free version of Hinge. We're getting, well, Netflix is a little bit different because maybe we're using our friend's grandma's account or something.

But just to bring it back to these more standard freemium features, There can be a real temptation, and I find myself falling into that as well. But I think a good question to ask yourself is, what type of value do I put on this? And finances are a really personal thing, and so I don't like to give blanket advice of you should or should not.
