	Like, this kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, I guess my hang up in the past is, one, it's, it's odd, right? Like, it's not the norm. So, it's, you know, you look at it with a little side eye. And two, the tactile feel of it. I was like, well, this is not a feel, like, just grabbing my notebook that I want this weird kind of soft ring. Like, my notebook is just going to be destroyed, right? Like, this isn't going to work. And that's completely opposite the case. Like, that is not the case whatsoever with this notebook.

Like, my notebook is just going to be destroyed, right? Like, this isn't going to work. And that's completely opposite the case. Like, that is not the case whatsoever with this notebook.

	In fact, I keep looking for this notebook to grab and use because I'm enjoying it. Yeah. And that's the, my favorite part about all this ~~stationary~~ stuff is being surprised. And that one was, like, a really pleasant surprise for everything. Like, this could be, like, a, this could be, like, the house notebook, right? Like, it's just, it's just that good. You can't add pages to this, right? No. No. So, the, so, like, Morimon does a plastic ring that is not soft, but allows you to split the rings open to add and take out.

	I do not like those. Because it's, it's no better than, like, a metal, metal ring. This is not a refillable. It's not designed to be refillable. But it does, it does tear well and it's got a perf. So, it's, you can, you know, just tear from the perf or you can just rip the whole thing out. I was curious, just, like, ripping a whole page out, like, from a wire bound notebook. That always works, right? It's basically, like, a razor just to, like, rip that thing out. And I was, like, oh, is this wide, soft ring going to prevent me from tearing a page out?
