Turnout
People's gain from Republican Swing
gollark: The thing where functions capture their scope.
gollark: ```lualet otherTesting = [];for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { otherTesting[i] = function() { console.log(i); }}```does the same thing so I suppose it's just weirdness with closure in loops.
gollark: Er, 9, not 10.
gollark: Hmm, I'd really expect that to print `10`, weird.
gollark: Unrelatedly, it turns out that the large amount of 2-letter TLDs which exist now combined with the fact that 36^3 is a lot means that you can get 6-letter domains, and I mean 6 letter including the TLD and dot.
