gollark: People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing.
gollark: I finally got round to watching The Expanse (TV show) and it's very good, don't really know why I didn't earlier.
gollark: I don't think I even got that to work, and pins just moving around a bit and not doing much was not very encouraging.
gollark: I finally got round to getting one of those cheap Amazon lockpicking sets a while ago, but never managed to do anything with it despite *several* YouTube videos. So it's consigned to my random thing pile™ besides a pi 0 and some discarded lined paper.
gollark: Well, you know what they say: monads are monoids in the category of endofunctors.
