gollark: I'm sort of interested in 3D printing, but don't really have much of a use for it (I don't really have any other sort of workshoppy stuff to complement it or things to print), or the money. It does seem to be getting cheaper and more useful as time goes on (more prints being available etc.) so who knows.
gollark: Isn't `c` in quite a few equations? Including the electromagnetism one and stuff. It seems pretty fundamental.
gollark: The great thing about brain rewriting technology is that it makes it easy to hide brain rewriting technology.
gollark: It's a computer game, not an ultra-accurate physics simulator.
gollark: I was going to say something, but it seems kind of politicky after reading it to myself...
