History
The bridge allows automobile access from Ikitsuki to Hirado and the rest of Japan. Previously, the only option to travel off Ikitsuki was by ferry to various ports in Kyūshū.
gollark: "Principal component analysis" from "scikit-learn".
gollark: I, personally, blame Macron.
gollark: This is interesting! I'm testing ways to improve the performance/memory use of the Minoteaur inevitable semantic search thing, and it turns out that using a dimensionality reduction thing on the embedding vectors makes some searches turn out identically, and some using rare keywords like "apioform" turn out poorly.
gollark: Obviously minoteaur will include "counter" capabilities.
gollark: Well, your perception of it can be changed, and it might be beelike perception.
