Djambala is also served by Djambala Airport.
gollark: Unless it can somehow precommit to torturing the simulations.
gollark: If it values suffering for its own sake it might as well do it anyway, but I don't think doing the torturing would advance other goals.
gollark: If you ~~*do* pull it~~ leave it contained, I don't think it has any actual reason to torture the simulation, since you can't verify if it's doing so or not and it would only be worth doing at all if it plans to try and coerce you/other people later.
gollark: You can hash it on each end or something to check.
gollark: Well, sure, but there are no relevant quantum effects and a properly working computer system can losslessly send things.
