Purpose

  • Irrigation
gollark: Hmm, 14 minutes until the time of death, I should probably set up teleports and stuff? Who was it that was available to catch?
gollark: No. That would be very inconvenient. If I was doing it manually I'd binary-search it anyway.
gollark: I've got a time down to probably 10 seconds of accuracy with my automated thingy, but more precision is better.
gollark: Probably should have done that earlier but I forgot.
gollark: I'll try and pin down the precise ToD before then then.
