Personnel
gollark: Especially "smart" ones, which are garbage in a different way.
gollark: I'll... look into that, but ordering from some random Chinese site or something sounds especially inconvenient.
gollark: Maybe the situation with ordering is better here in the UK. I haven't really checked.
gollark: That's the inconvenient thing about trying to do anything which requires parts right now, I guess.
gollark: I should really look into learning a bit of lockpicking stuff over the... five months or so still... time I'll have off from school.
