@lynnesbian @ireneista every time I’m reminded of this I am again really bothered that they don’t ban all _multiples_ of 256

@nina_kali_nina @steve @lynnesbian @ireneista Claire recently told me a joke in which a Genie is granting wishes, and the grantee is not allowed to ask for more wishes, so their first wish is to ask for 0. The punchline is that upon granting it, the Genie then says "now you have 255 wishes!"

@steve @lynnesbian @ireneista 512 axles are probably not allowed for being too long, anyway. The maximum length is normally 1km, and that would mean comically short cars even if they had more than 2 axles each.

@eseilt @lynnesbian @ireneista yeah. I understand the pragmatics, but the language standards brain can’t really be turned off.
