Arkansas Highway 24

Arkansas Highway 24 is the designation of two separate state highways in southwest and south central Arkansas. The two sections were formerly connected, but a middle segment of 53 miles (85 km) between Lockesburg and Prescott was redesignated as U.S. Route 371 (US 371) in 1994.

gollark: Well, *that* reduces the use a lot. How are they measuring "intention"? How is that defined?
gollark: I'm talking about querying spirits automatically, doing it manually would be irritating.
gollark: Hmm, I should probably have asked before, what information can they access? What kind of error rate?
gollark: What kind of hardware do you need to run yes/no questions against arbitrary spirits? How fast do they operate?
gollark: Well, you could easily get around that by only asking very accurately specified questions. In bulk, probably, with some spirits being assigned the same one in case of errors.
