gollark: Oh, I'll go check that.
gollark: Because that's... an optional competition... seriously what are you on about?
gollark: <@312031356169224203> ... are you complaining about the Folding@Home thing, or what?
gollark: <@312031356169224203> <#482370338324348932> is limited to 1 message per 5 minutes, so seriously, what *are* you on about?
gollark: I do wish the internetworking companies would just use some sort of scheme of limited bandwidth with some allowance for short peaks instead of data caps, which would match closer to what the actual constraints are.
