A post office was established at Ambia in 1886, and remained in operation until 1905.[2] The community derives its name from "amber", alluding to the color of the chewing tobacco used by the local men.[3]
gollark: I don't think a totality checker is practical.
gollark: Hmm, this is a possible concern I guess.
gollark: There might be helpers for that in the standard library, which this would actually have.
gollark: I would probably also drop forms since their functionality is fairly easy to replicate with the scripting capabilities.
gollark: Oh, and in terms of arbitrary preferences, I'd probably make some of the web APIs more functional programming™️ instead of using objects; instead of `URL` objects, you would just have a `parseURL` function returning a table of URL components, and `serializeURL` function... unparsing it.
