Apparently a demo version is still available that allows up to 10k characters per week, or 20 completions: https://app.inferkit.com/demo

Not much, but better than nothing.

When the driver does not know the answer to this question, he or she will swerve randomly, at best only a small percentage of the time.

In a similar situation, the driver will sometimes make a big mistake, making one little error,

You sit at the restaurant with your young son, he says he is hungry.
You agree to get him dinner.
You open up to the kids menu, your child is far too young for adult food.
Chicken nugger stares at you from the page. You don’t understand.
Your palms get sweaty and your son complains. He says he is hungry.

You look at him but he doesn’t answer.

His red, irritated eyes stare at you, not moving.

“Mama? Mama?”

You pull your son close and try to speak softly to him.

“I know honey, I know.”

His little hand latches on to your arm and he starts to cry.

“I am hungry mama!” he cries.

His voice warbles.

“I am so sorry honey, I am so, so sorry. I didn’t know.

I will get you a bowl of noodles.

It will be all gone soon. There’s no need to cry.”

The words cannot escape your lips.

her head a spinning chicken nugger, her arms swinging French fried.

You are sweating, restless, spacey, lost,

still searching for a sign. You hear a familiar voice.

It’s your kid.

He demands you order.

You place your palms to your temples,

trying to remember your daughter’s name.

Or, better yet, a sign.


Your son cries the tears of a chicken nugger-less child.
In your mind you scream.
It is raining sweer potato now, you have French fried

Your son weeps in the corner, he is starving.
Starving for the chicken nugger.

Your mother looks like a queen,

like an underemployed woman with a baby bird stuck in her mouth.

She is walking to work in the snow with a hot dung pile tucked into her gloves

waiting for her on the path with a small blue sign that says “Avocado.”

This is a vitamin high in health for them, a vitamin low for the rest of us.

I close my eyes, and nugger is there.
Nugger waits for me, almost taunting me.
Without nugger, I am nothing.
It is nugger. And only nugger.

Thank you, Nugger.

Thank you, friend.

You are truly amazing.

I think you want to come home.

What have I got to prove?

Will it make a difference?

Can I live with the guilt

of NOT being there to protect you

from all the evils in the world?

Well as you know you can't see my world

or all the stuff going on around me.

All you can see is me.....

And only you.

And that is the way it is for now.

I know that in time I will be strong enough

to show you what is beyond the edge of the precip

When we pursue still life, we set foot in the quadratic replicator on the way. Is this accompanied by the death of expectations or the achievement of expectations? Is it actually a victory over constraints of any kind? No, of course not. But I believe that the origin of this game is not in the death of all the other games. It’s in the success of one single game, over a span of years, all the way to its victory. And not only the victory over the constraints of the game: but the victory over all the other games, as well.

I will not say that this is the single, true reason for the success of still life. Many could be heard, when the game was up, defending...

Despite not liking his Game of Life because it shadowed his other mathematical achievements, it became immensely popular among a group of people, who where later dubbed "life enthusiasts".
The Game of Life won him a Gold Medal Award at the International Mathematical Olympiad and a mathematics prize from the Italian government.

In 1957, Bochner discovered how to define the superellipse and in 1959 introduced the binomial coefficients, which are widely used in combinatorics and computational geometry.

Bochner said that, in choosing terms for his functions, he looked to the ranks of prominent mathematicians, including Halmos, Wiles, Norman Steenrod, Robert Dwight, and Radoje Pop

Talk to Transformer wrote:The earliest results in the Game of Life were obtained without the use of computers. The simplest still-lives and oscillators were discovered while tracking the fates of various small starting configurations using graph paper, blackboards, physical game boards (such as Go) and the like. A computer is usually used to analyze the variations in patterns that follow over time. Such computation is called Monte Carlo simulation. Computational genetic algorithms have been used to generate all sorts of patterns and algorithms.

The name Game of Life was coined by David R. Henderson. The original game board used was a 10 x 10 grid. It soon became apparent that further complex questions of life were undecipherable using this basic board. The first intuitive solution was to drop the original board and to play on a larger area with every dot occupying the same cell.[4]

Similarly, any proposal to enumerate objects in some set—from, say, the set of all powers of two to the set of all integers—is also in a state of sin. This is because the set of all powers of two is infinite; hence the probability that two objects in this set will be odd can be practically zero. In contrast, all integers from one to the power of two are known to be even, and hence the probability that two objects in this set will be even is highly likely.

And with patterns being used as a navigational aid, it can take days for the craft to reach its final destination.

Talk to Transformer wrote: The Eater 3 is not a racing simulator. It has the Airmaxx variable lighting system which when enabled offers beautiful lighting effects similar to the Halo 4 PC demo. Also, unlike racing simulators, Eater 3 offers an extensive campaign mode. By default it runs for 90 days but there is a way to lengthen its lifespan. Simply open the menu then select Options, GameTime and SetMaxRunToDate.

Now, back to the multiplayer. This is one of the aspects that makes this game so appealing. Throughout the course of the campaign mode you unlock new weapons and vehicles. The way the weapon unlocks are extremely unique and different from those of other titles in the genre. So even if you have become bored with all of the multiplayer options, you will never grow tired of the vehicle based game modes. They offer up fast and engaging game play. You will easily see yourself coming back time and time again.

He has no head, no feet, no tail, no arms, no legs, but his belly is always in a wiggling dance manner. He wears neither shirt nor shoes nor anything under his "clothing."

When Jesus discovered that the church was using the Spaghetti Monster to teach its children, he famously issued a public retraction saying, "Anyone who believes in the name of the Spaghetti Monster has an open mind and I believe he is an alien from another planet," according to Michele Hickford. Her 2003 book, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, documents this bizarre theology.
