gollark: If you care at all, and indeed if you don't, you can find most patched potatOS sandbox escapes by searching for `PS#` inside https://pastebin.com/wKdMTPwQ.
gollark: PS#D7CD76C0 is that you could do those during queueEvent. I should probably assign a bug number to the Polychoron-based version.
gollark: Yes, basically.
