"(Dagny) turned to a phonograph and put on a record of the music of Richard Halley... Dagny listened to the Fourth Concerto, her head thrown back, her eyes closed. She lay half-stretched across the corner of a couch, her body relaxed and still" -- section 141 (Part 1 Chapter 4)

Vinylhaven 

A small Coastal-Maine town where phonograph records are made.
After successfully stocking up on crisp new yellow hexagonal No. 2's in Pencilvania, I headed on up the coast to Vinylhaven to pick up some oldies on LP. Town Manager Susan Lessard was certainly very pleasant and welcoming when I eagerly breezed into her office at the town hall, but then when I asked for directions to the nearest records-stamping plant, she just gave me a puzzled look like she didn't even have a clue what I was talking about ("Well, sorry to disappoint you, Sir, but all of our new-product vendors switched to CDs years ago"), then smilingly suggested that I check out their local thrift shops for a broad selection of nice pre-owned albums.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
