gollark: Now to waste another 3 or so diamonds on moar tracks.
gollark: Maybe I can "fix" it by adding an extra `sleep` at the end or something.
gollark: My code waits `((length / 6000) / speed) - 2` seconds, then inefficiently checks the position of the tape every 0.05 seconds to see if it's hit the end.
gollark: I found that it reads 6000 bytes a second.
gollark: I'm not sure if it's that they're written to the tapes that way, or whether my code for determining the end of a track is a bit broken.
