Championship standings after the race
  • Notes: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.
gollark: I don't think he actually cares about whatever you posted.
gollark: Otherwise you could probably run into weird edge cases and be stuck with it saying "typing" forever.
gollark: I think if they had a network issue it would *stop* saying "typing" after about 5 seconds.
gollark: Directly probably not, but there are 'betalight" things which convert the beta radiation (electrons) from tritium in a tube into light.
gollark: You can get GPS precision of a few metres or better nowadays. It's very neat.
