	~~Personally,~~ I ~~think~~ this oscillator ~~and/~~or its shuttle ~~variation~~ could be ~~used to construct~~ [[trivial]] oscillators in the ~~future~~.		I thought that this oscillator or its shuttle variant could be a component in larger [[trivial]] oscillators, and I was correct. [[User:ThePlayzr\|ThePlayzr]] eventually found a period-90 LCM oscillator featuring the p18 interacting with a large p5 sparker.

	The ~~pingpong is used in a block hassler and several spaceship eaters~~.		There exists a relatively large period-18 oscillator that can be put between dominoes to create [[shuttle]]-like movement.

			=== Block ===
			[[Block\|The one and only]]. The block seems to be one of the toughest still lifes in this relatively fragile rule. Its the only pattern with a known hassler, as well as the only known still life catalyst. Because of how common it is, there may be some [[Transparent object\|transparent reactions]] that exist with the block, or still life catalysts that include the block in some form.
