gollark: The same Discord account.
gollark: Two computers, I mean.
gollark: You *can* use the same account on two...
gollark: That imports the `component` library (by loading it and binding it to `component`) and binds the redstone component to `redstone`.
gollark: You need to stick```lualocal component = require "component"local redstone = component.redstone```in.
