Honors
gollark: Also quite hard to do well, but better.
gollark: It is annoying that networking is so overly dependent on central towers and such even though mesh networking would be more efficient and reliable.
gollark: Technically, that would be classist.
gollark: Speed cameras work by detecting your car via reflected visible light photons. I don't think they can detect high-energy gamma rays. If you go fast enough, something something doppler effect and you will no longer be visible to it.
gollark: To escape speeding tickets, it's also worth accelerating to relativistic velocities.
