Notes
- The pilot episode of Falling Water aired as a "special preview" three weeks before its formal television premiere on October 13, 2016.[1]
gollark: How does that work for esolangs? Views on their esowiki page or something?
gollark: In the stock market, the prices are somewhat defined by the activity of actual companies.
gollark: Because ubq actually ran it?
gollark: I like it.
gollark: For a slightly more thingy JS example, if you see that someone does `x == 7` a lot instead of `===`, that implies that either they have gone mad from the weak typing or don't use JS a lot.
