Notes
gollark: Why would you not want to be able to output that many bees?
gollark: Hmm. Maybe I should turn up the advertising.
gollark: You should buy one.
gollark: For example, a class-6τ apinator capable of 10^22 🐝Hz base output costs just 110 capital from a GTech™ delivery satellite.
gollark: Too bad, GTech™ charges capital for most GTech™ goods and services.
