We do not know how this shit occurred, we did not even know there was a clear model! We and Roundhill are working to repair this bullshit ASAP. We will allow you to all know the way and when this will likely be remedied however relaxation assured, goddamnit., that it will likely be fuckin’ mounted! Thank you all in your endurance, and please settle for our deepest fucking apologies.
