gollark: ToD xx:25:11, AR at xx:23:11, I'll post the code when it's time.
gollark: Why not, really. I have everything set up for one in about 10 minutes.
gollark: Experiments in about an hour. I'll wait until 30 minutes or so before, but if nobody is around to catch I'll just hatch them.
gollark: Is anyone available for four experiments in about eight hours?
gollark: Whyyyyy, TJ09, must you inflict the horror of measuring the times of death upon us?!
