gollark: I don't get it, this should basically perform *fine*.
gollark: It was +> on the old ubiqutious instance.
gollark: ```javascript let c=undefined; let okeys=Object.keys(nt) while (total>0){ let apiokey=okeys[Math.floor(Math.random()*okeys.length)]; total-=nt[apiokey]; c=apiokey } return c;```What *is* this?
gollark: Hmm, there are 1962 starters, this *cannot* be that slow.
gollark: Although it probably shouldn't run in quadratic time, at least.
