Notes
gollark: I assume it's to avoid being blamed in case some stupid person explodes things.
gollark: I don't think the *FCC* does that, at least not very directly.

gollark: Just because you can describe some steps involved in doing something in not much detail doesn't mean you *can do* it.
gollark: I don't think you can *enrich* uranium yourself, at least not in usable quantities.
