I wonder if the 3D version exhibits behaviors similar to the 2D version, including periodic patterns. I also have to link my favorite pattern, XKCD's homage to John Conway: https://xkcd.com/2293/

FB has been a little creepy about death. A FB "friend" (e.g. not a close friend) had died and about a year later FB started exhorting me to reconnect with him. I located his obituary and memorialized his account out of respect. To

I wonder if TOS precludes publishing benchmark results like some SQL database products. I also wonder if home users will ever be able to buy one of these? Will the predecessor show up in the used market?

That's an "interesting" thought. One of my complaints about so many SciFi stories is the use of seemingly conventional weapons. I always thought that with so much advanced technology that weapons would be much more sophistica

Is that similar to the Weber Galley Que? http://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2019/08/24/1960s-weber-galle... Not sure I'd want burning things on a boat.
