gollark: Clearly, I MUST avoid refreshing.
gollark: It vaguely hurts my eyes somehow so perhaps I should decrease the scrolling speed.
gollark: This is actually interesting. The music being played seems to be missing a chunk of the frequency spectrum for some reason.
gollark: It would need good amplifiers, I suppose, but it's possible. I'll have to survey all our listeners to determine how many actual listening people each thing corresponds to (factoring in time spent with it running but away from the computer, and such).
gollark: JS doesn't support **C** properly, so no.
