Etymology
The specific name is based on the type locality.
gollark: Trouble is that he also goes on about it on Twïttër.
gollark: … that is a pretty good simple explanation though, I may just be bad at explaining
gollark: I always have trouble with questions like this. I'm torn between saying "it makes it loop infinitely" and a proper explanation which is hard to type on a phone and possibly harder to understand.
gollark: Also what are you *doing*? `if 1 == 1`?!
gollark: That's because `reactor.getEnergyStored` is a function. You need to call it to get the result.
