Nice. Reminds me of both Jawbox and Jawbreaker, oddly. Jawhammer?

I have a 24oz. Framing hammer for carpentry projects and a lighter one for things like picture hanging. However, my thumb hurts the same when hit by either…

I’m afraid to report that I do know that feeling all too well, though it has been decades! I still have a hammer my dad gave me, and some of my grandfather’s old tools.

I get reminded of the feeling every decade or so. I hope I don’t get a hammer toe from it!

C++ is my hammer. At Pillsbury we often used "crescent hammers" as a dual purpose tool. Anything can be fixed with a hammer and crescent wrench (which can also be a hammer if needed). Hee!

I heard the Pillsbury doughboy just now.

Haha! We used to get all kinds of jokes about the flour miller.

Amazing that you write every day. I don't know how I could do it. Keep spamming those hammers!

Thanks, Aaron!

I think we both like to think things through when we write. I can see a lot of that in your analysis. I hope it’s helpful for your own thought process as well as helping other folks think about value investing as a concept. I’m still a value nerd!
