This is a great day! I think we can ALL agree that it's been deeply frustrating to be priced out of the flame throwing robot dog market for so long.

This is an absolute W for flamethrowing robot dog enthusiasts everywhere.

You were paying the market rate for your flamethrowing robot dog? Dude, buy refurbished.

I'm waiting for more competition to enter the market and for prices to be driven down further.

Owning is boring. You want to rent one through my new app. FRaaS. Flamethrower robot as a service. I am starting the first round of venturing funding at 1 billion. It also has block chain in it.
