Notes
  1. Ivanowski was a Russian national, but in exile since the Russian Revolution.
  2. Researcher Hans Etzrodt has Montier placed 7th.[4][5]
gollark: You don't really need honey if you have an active stabilizer control system managing your beehives.
gollark: Differentiate yourself with respect to local apiocity gradients.
gollark: After the driver stopped trying to repeatedly patch its efuses or something, I now have `wlan1` extant.
gollark: Hmm. It appears that the RTL8188EUS is finally cooperating slightly.
gollark: I personally blame these FAIRLY BAD RTL8188EUS drivers.
