you got caught by the spam filter. I don't really understand why, but anyways... next time don't repost, just be a bit patient, it needs a human confirmation.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

How many people can say they invented their own "Game of Life," not just played a hand-me-down version ?

"14 April 17:00 BST — Mathematician John Conway dies of COVID-19
Renowned British-born mathematician John Conway died aged 82 on 11 April, reportedly of complications arising from COVID-19.
Conway attained a legendary status among maths and science enthusiasts, mostly by designing mathematical games and puzzles. But his work transcended the boundary between recreational and ‘serious’ maths, turning play into research and vice versa. "He’s been known to carry on his person a few decks of cards, dice, ropes, pennies, coat hangers, sometimes a Slinky, maybe a miniature bicycle, all props he deploys to extend his winning imagination," wrote biographer Siobhan Roberts in 2015.
His celebrity status was cemented by Martin Gardner’s popular maths column in the magazine Scientific American, which featured many of Conway’s contributions, beginning in 1970 with his Game of Life, a minimalistic 2D model universe in which ‘organisms’ grow and multiply on the basis of simple rules.
Conway had taught at Princeton University in New Jersey since 1987, and his research spanned several fields of mathematics. In algebra, he studied the ‘monster group’, an object that has an enormous — but not infinite — number of symmetries. With the late British mathematician Simon Norton, he formulated the ‘monstrous moonshine’ conjectures, linking the monster group to an entirely different subject in mathematical analysis."

(Serious comment: )
Seeing-eye dogs for users allergic to dogs' coat are often labradoodles - a cross breed between labrador and poodle. The poodle's coat is usually acceptable to allergics, and the labradoodle has inherited this trait.
(So why don't they use large purebred poodles? I don't know if this is an international phenomenon or specific to Norway: The Poodle owner's organization are actively boycotting the use of poodles for menial work. They consider the poodle to be such high class that members selling puppies to be trained as seeing-eye dogs are kicked out. So those training the dogs switched to labradoodles rather than going to poodle-napping to get enough dogs for the allergics.)

No, but I proposed to my now wife on St. Patricks day and gave her a fake diamond ring...aka a shamrock.

I actually like NIN, some of their stuff.
I took my oldest son with me to a NIN concert years back and we ended up walking out, they sucked!

That's not quite the NIN I know.
I never listened to them much, but I know some old songs.
This is actually an interesting development
"Somewhat anxiety inducing" reminded me of this masterpiece* of an album: Orthrelm - OV[^]

That not even good death (whatever) metal. (IMO).
guitar solo sucks. (IMO).
I'd rather be phishing!

It's not death metal, it's not even metal.
It's labeled as "avant-garde" which could mean anything.
Not sure what guitar solo you mean because I can't listen to that crap for more than a few seconds.
You won't believe this, but I got to know that album from a POSITIVE REVIEW I read back in 2005.
Needless to say I never forgot about it
Just thought I'd one up your stressful anxiety inducing music
And since there's nothing to one up that it's over and I won

Isn't that a repost?

You've got a good memory, unless you added it to your favorites back then

I consider that a bad memory.
To be honest, my memory is extremely partial. I can't remember peoples names at all, but stupid things like that...

The music is nice, but the singer ruins it for me.
Not because it's Japanese, I just don't like his voice.
I love their song "□□□□□" though

OMG that's some weird, stressful wrist slitting noise.
