Transfers

gollark: I feel like the opt-out thing should perhaps be more clearly provided.
gollark: We don't use commas instead of decimal points. We use commas to separate out groups of digits in numbers, and decimal points to represent... decimals.
gollark: Mine displays 24 hour time too. No idea why.
gollark: See, powercells *are* somewhat expensive, and placing them on every machine isn't practical.
gollark: But most of the base runs on cabling because it's more cost-effective, and doesn't have the 5%ish loss of powercells.
