List of High Commissioners of the United Kingdom to Tonga

The High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Tonga was the United Kingdom's diplomatic representative to the Kingdom of Tonga from 1973 until 2006. In March 2006 the British Government closed its High Commission in Nukuʻalofa; British interests in Tonga are now represented by the British High Commissioner in Fiji. However, the High Commission is to reopen in 2019 with a resident High Commissioner.[1]

gollark: For example, quarrying. CC has turtles. They can dig things. They can move. You can make a quarry out of this, and people have. But in practice, they're not hugely fast or efficient, and it's hard to make it work well in the face of stuff like server restarts, while a dedicated quarrying device from a mod will handle this fine and probably go faster if you can power it somehow.
gollark: I honestly don't think CC is particularly overpowered even with turtles. While it can technically do basically anything, most bigger packs will have special-purpose devices which are more expensive but do it way better, while CC is very annoying to have work.
gollark: Out of all the available APIs in _G the only ones I can see which allow I/O of some sort directly and don't just make some task you can technically already do more convenient are `fs`, `os`, `redstone`, `http`, and `term`. You can, at most, probably disable `http` and `redstone` without breaking everything horribly, and it would still be annoying.
gollark: What other stuff would you disable, anyway? I don't think there's much which isn't just a utility API of some sort which you can disable without more problems.
gollark: Because that won't be hilariously annoying at all!
