Standings after the event

|
- Note: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of drivers' standings.
gollark: You'd need to toast slow enough for the heat to disperse a bit.
gollark: Well, I think at some point you might end up just ablating the surface and not toasting the rest properly.
gollark: Yes, the toaster contains one ultra-fast toasting charge and once that's used up it's burned out.
gollark: Did their toaster go on sale yet?
gollark: I want to add full text search to minoteaur, as it would be very not good without that. However, it needs to store an uncompressed copy of stuff to provide many FTS features, which means I would either end up being MILDLY INEFFICIENT and storing revision data twice, or have somewhat more code to avoid duplicate datoids.
