Notes

  1. Lithuania played with a team composed basically by LKKA-Atletas players
gollark: They can't do it to existing repos presumably, it would break things.
gollark: It is not pizza.
gollark: I'm not sure how they plan to implement this exactly, and it seems very pointless and stupid.
gollark: Unrelatedly, CSS grid is cool and all but also annoying and so complex that my browser literally has a built-in grid debugger.
gollark: If you find *one* example of it behaving oddly, that makes it NONCOMPLIANT and EVIL.
