gollark: And there are lots of people with 3D printers, and I vaguely-internet-know people with old industrial machinery and stuff for DIY projects.

gollark: So what if I have a MEANS OF PRODUCTION for personal use?
gollark: I mean, it's... property you have... which other people aren't meant to use?
gollark: I have an extensive library of (ir)relevant memes for almost every situation for which I have memes.
