Personnel
Reflections
gollark: 4, actually.
gollark: Also, channels should be arbitrary real numbers instead of foolish 2-byte integers.
gollark: I doubt squid would like it much honestly.
gollark: Why not just remove the channels per modem limit‽!?!?/⸘?!?!?
gollark: GTech operates a number of trilaterators, but they can only listen on known-in-advance channels because of the 128 channel limitation.
