Thanks, Michael A! Hey the man, and the talent, Linus we are getting a new video board installed right now. If you had the opportunity would you tour a factory in the US where they assemble LED scoreboards?

Thanks, Anonymous! Hello LLD! Are Super Soft Hoodie and Microfiber T-shirt coming back to LTTStore? Why were they discontinued? I wish I had bought them. Do you plan on releasing more "unusual" merch like those?

Reply @Anonymous! We like selling weird stuff like that, but probably like the both of those they didn't really sell well enough.

  Wyatt J
Thanks, Wyatt J! Hey Linus. Organizing cables running alongside our family's AV cabinet. Do you know why the basic MCM kit only has one power bar holder? It barely feels adequate to hold a powerbar on by itself.

Reply @Wyatt J! Probably just for the basic-ness of it. Might be something to look into.
