I build a program that runs various species of automata in raylib and c++. I can send you a link if you like. While running, the species can be interchanged (meaning the rule set). I also added different random densities and a gradient option. Plus I colour coded each cell based on the age (dead alive transition) which is very interesting to see.

Not sure. In Begium I’ve seen butcher shops that specialise in horse meat and in Korea there are restaurants where horse meat is served.

That’s not uncommon in many other languages aside from German. Think of it as saving space(s).

Of all the things wrong with this, what sticks out to me how he seemed to be offended when you put down your boundaries. I feel sorry for your sister and i would share this with her. If he behaves like this with his own family, it doesn’t bode well outside of it. Yeah, perhaps replying wasn’t the best idea but i cannot put myself in your position vis-a-vis your state of mind at the time but it doesn’t take away the lack of appropriateness of his comments.
