@ninjawedding There are a few different intuitive descriptions in the back of the manual - my favourite is the "cellular automaton" angle but which one is most accessible depends on one's background

Granted, there'd be those of us who would recommend the same thing for Trudeau. Actually, maybe most national leaders in general.

I'm operating on the assumption that "SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS TRUMP TRAVEL BAN" means they've confirmed Donald Trump is not allowed to travel anymore because he's too embarrassing to the United States when he does. Please don't burst my bubble on this.
