gollark: Hoping my time of death getter works properly...
gollark: Great, I'll keep them and work out the ToDs and stuff.
gollark: I'm currently just interested in "is there actually a decent chance of someone being there".
gollark: Running three more experiments in four days because my last one went okay; is anyone available in 4d5h or so for catching?
gollark: I don't think it's 8-9 UV specifically. I stuck that one egg I actually experimented on properly in hatcheries but had very few ARers, and it turned.
