      I was going to say they were cowards about this because it’s powered by wind-up mechanics rather than burning droplets of black ship oil you feed into the tiny oil barrel. But then I realised that would probably waste most of the energy on heat, right on the delicate mechanisms and your wrist, and who wants to use an energy source that damages everything around it with excessive warming

        Yes, the CEO was born in 1988, the 14th month.

        E: yes im just joking here, the CEO is actually one of those prime examples of the American dream working out. Fled the USSR with his fam, became extremely wealthy making shit etc.
