Purchase from the Israeli Navy

gollark: Hmm, interesting, might get that then.

gollark: It annoys me that Children of a Dead Earth is apparently very good, *and* on sale right now, but also not available for Linux so I can't use it.

gollark: `nano` when I have to use a terminal to edit things, because the only `vim` command I can remember is the one to exit.

gollark: I don't use that and so can't really say specifically, but for general code editing use Visual Studio Code is good.

gollark: It seems to be bright grayish blue here, no idea about temperature.
