Notes
  1. Houston Dash's position in the league at the end of match day
gollark: It was determined that LyricLy would emit muon neutrinos.
gollark: Hmm, apparently Linux does not have very smart network QoS and trying to upload 80GB of backups breaks things which also need an internet connection.
gollark: Those are deprecated.
gollark: Well, unless you draw ω energy at once.
gollark: The infinite energy tetrahedra do *not* run out.
