History

Lawrence was founded about 1883 as a Mormon farming community. It formerly had its own post office and church, but the church was demolished in the 1950s. Sometimes called "Stakerville", Lawrence was named after Lawrence Staker.[3]

gollark: But what if the AIs colonize outer space? They can beat humans at it.
gollark: See, any game can be made more fun if you implement human-level intelligences which can create stuff like pyramid schemes.
gollark: Presumably if food is magically non-perishable, lots of people will just store it, and the price won't vary *that* much because the only extra cost is some storage.
gollark: But then they can't do fun stuff like run scams.
gollark: I have a better way. Make your game AIs have human-level intelligence, and have them communicate and trade items! That way you get all the nice emergent behavior with the simple ease of implementing human-level AI.
