'''Myke Hurley:''' good story i feel like there's a gdpr violation in there somewhere is there i wouldn't even know what

'''Brad Dowdy:''' that would um what the issue would be we don't have those kind of rules in in the americas you say that though uh okay we just don't pay attention to those rules you still have to do that you still

'''Myke Hurley:''' have definitely still have to pay attention to them um because the european union can get very upset at

'''Brad Dowdy:''' you yeah yeah so let's see if they get upset about the topic that i really want to talk about so what i did at stelo and stelae when i was looking for those inks well let me see what else this store has maybe they have something cool that i've never seen before so i'm browsing around this that bring yes they yes they do mike harley have you seen the i have i have a lot to say about this but it's the the 350th anniversary limited edition of g or bon and i say inks and by inks i mean 500 milliliter bottles of inks michael so number one did you know g or bon has been around for 350 uh years and we're celebrating their anniversary did you know that didn't know that yeah did not know that would not have registered that in a million years um number two do you need a bottle of ink that is 500 milliliters for example the linen toolbar bottle of ink i bought is 30 milliliters most normal size bottle of inks are 50 milliliters so do you need the 10 plus x bottle of ink

'''Myke Hurley:''' at your household michael or maybe the other thing you're asking me is do i need half a liter of ink right i don't know it could go in the cabinet next to the pasta you ordered maybe it could yeah you know what maybe right now brad i do need half a liter of ink um but i will tell you that is quite a that is quite an investment to make right like if you've never used the ink before to be like you know what i'm gonna get half a liter of this like that is that is quite a thing isn't it to do like yeah you really you're really committing to i'm only going to use this ink for the next 17 years

'''Brad Dowdy:''' right and let's talk about the commitment you're not committing to the price right it's a very reasonably priced 35 euros right you're committing to the volume of ink in this bottle and using it it's very pretty packaging like that's what caught my eye is like these are neat g herb on bottles

'''Myke Hurley:''' weird right like it looks like um i can see why they've done it right that they're going for for the old look but it almost looks like a kind of um like a western snake oil salesman would sell

'''Brad Dowdy:''' you from the back of a car like a pharmacology bottle or something but that's what it was back in the day because there were no filling systems right they were pouring it into an inkwell or an inkpot to dip nibs right so that's what this ink was used for back in the 350 years oh god if you this this would suck to refill a pen with right yeah that's not what it's designed for it's like it's made to be

'''Myke Hurley:''' put into another vessel yes because you want to get down very far before you couldn't use it anymore
