gollark: Can they?
gollark: But what if somebody accidentally plugs potatOS into an outlet?
gollark: I really need to switch my internal storage network to a more integrated system than the current Wyvern array with random IO tacked on and an external furnace setup.
gollark: Pearls are basically free, obsidian is easy via portal hackery.
