gollark: That's your ENTIRE BALANCE?
gollark: That would be a nice feature for license keys since they tend to be nasty and long.
gollark: You can actually *click* the name of a peripheral and it's automagically put on your clipboard.
gollark: So, if you rightclick a modem, it tells you the name of peripherals on it, yes?
