Pipsquirter
A pipsquirter (or simply squirter[1]) is an oscillator that produces a domino spark that is orientated parallel to the direction from which it is produced (in contrast to domino sparkers like the pentadecathlon and heavyweight spaceship, which produce domino sparks perpendicular to the direction of production). Most of the useful pipquirters have been found by Noam Elkies, including pipsquirter 1 and pipsquirter 2, which have periods 6 and 7, respectively.

gollark: Huh, modem connections or whatever work over capabilities? Weird.
gollark: That doesn't update the config, though.
gollark: ```lualocal function update() local h, err = http.get("https://pastebin.com/raw/whatever") if not h then printError(err) return end local f = fs.open("startup", "w") f.write(h.readAll()) f.close() h.close()end```
gollark: It's better to use HTTP and FS directly.
gollark: This is also not a great way to do autoupdate. I have code somewhere, hold on.
