we aren't archiving the groups themselves, there was a file upload feature which google is discontinuing and taking down the files from |

(or in the case of stargate, use a point-to-point RF link, as matter apparently isn't re-integrated on the receiving end until it has all entered the gate on the sending side) |

|
Wyatt|Wor |
I don't think there's a person who hasn't. |
|
05:08
🔗
|
db48xOthe |
yea, a stargate wouldn't work since the matter is itself sent as data |

_but_ |
