Twilight "Hunting" Sparkle

Moderators*,

Hunting should be discouraged from posting such comments. Not only is this one not true but it serves no useful purpose. Bprentice chose to post a comment which adequately describes his own purpose, which was ultimately influenced by an earlier misunderstanding he had nothing to do with. Furthermore, all forum members — looking pointedly at you, Hunting and JP21 — should understand and respect Dani by not constantly and pointlessly bringing up her (NOT "his") years-old defunct account. [Hunting's general conduct on this forum has likewise provided additional evidence for bprentice's implicit claim that young forum members tend to be harmfully disrespectful to newcomers.]

That has to be the most useless accidental discovery I have ever seen. Why use an exotic palladium catalyst when you can just use THF and NaOH?

Because if you didn't discover it with palladium, you wouldn't ever know that you can do it also using THF and NaOH.

Yes, I think that destroying R using single eater is likely to be already known. I'm not so sure about the other reaction though. It may be actually new.

It's not completely useless at all: it's fun to see how many people fall for the trap of thinking that it performs the impossible.

That's a feature, not a bug.

calcyman wrote: September 1st, 2020, 3:52 amThe object needs to be able to reflect gliders at period 192, which means that the mechanism responsible for reflecting the glider must occur at a period which divides 192. This is the case for the Sakapuffer (96 divides 192), but not for the GPSE (384 does not divide 192).

There should also be a `teenager` function with many arguments.
Edit: And a`celllist` that plays the celllo if I remember correctly.
