Selected filmography

gollark: Oh yes, add warning signs too, obviously.
gollark: So leave it and ignore it in a specific place. Maybe the Moon or something, if space travel gets cheaper.
gollark: Apparently the recycling of solar panels isn't very efficient or cost-effective right now.
gollark: It's still quite small, so you can shove it in a box somewhere and ignore it, or apparently run much of it through a breeder reactor to reuse it.
