History
The lighthouse was established in 1833 and automated in 1967. The 14-metre (46 ft) tall, square, white tower is painted white with a red top. The light emits white, red or green light (depending on direction), occulting twice during each period. The 20,700-candela light can be seen for up to 13.4 nautical miles (24.8 km; 15.4 mi).[2][3][4]
gollark: I mostly agree. Not sure whether it's just being used to Minecraft, not having any of the various available UI enhancement or whatever mods, or just it being badly designed, but it does seem worse somehow.
gollark: Anyone interested in Mine*test*, an open-source Minecraftish game? I could probably host a server for that. I have to admit it's definitely not as polished, but there seem to be some good mods around for it.https://www.minetest.net/
gollark: Change the font size.
gollark: Is a command block *alone* (with a normal generated world, not a grid of armour stands or something) actually Turing-complete?
gollark: It's *pretty* tarpitty.
