Popover

Popover is a period-32 oscillator that was found by Robert Wainwright in August 1984.[1] It consists of four loaves, four blocks, four blinkers, and four mazings hassling a pi-heptomino.

.
gollark: Because people will do silly things lots.
gollark: Extendy radiators?
gollark: If your FTL drives are very cheap, and you can have it fly back somehow, and you have high density heat storage, I can see it possibly being a good way to dispose of waste heat.
gollark: Well, that's a bad use.
gollark: I mean, I guess it might work in that if a heatsink is far away from combat it can use better but more fragile radiators.
