History
A post office called Barrettsville was established in 1835, and remained in operation until 1911.[2] J. M. Barrett, an early postmaster, most likely gave the community his last name.[3] In 1900, the community had 219 inhabitants.[4]
gollark: `shell=_G.shell`
gollark: I edited it a bit, and now it works reasonably fast, as long as you don't use edit. Why? Because edit results in stupidly large batches of a few hundred term calls being sent down the socket, which crashes the receiver, usually.
gollark: I made a remote terminal thing. Unfortunately, it's too high-latency to be useful.
gollark: Also, commands may *sometimes* return errors, which skynet the CC library doesn't handle but which other stuff ought to.
gollark: Also, `skynet.close` would close a channel and not actually the socket - if you really want, do `skynet.socket.close`.
