Want a hint? Think about a circle bound by an n-sided polygon. What happens to the space between the bounding polygon and the circle as n increases? And when n is infinite?
So of three possible regular tilings, which will be most and least efficient?
(Btw, strictly speaking, I shouldn’t have said tri/hex before, as it’s really just hex tiling.)
You could also use some fancy trig to calculate the efficiency %, but that’s way too much work for me. :)
I think you skipped a row.
Also, 6*6+7=???
Because it’s a smaller area than 7x7.
If you consider the regular packing in an infinite plane, tri/hex packing is the most space efficient (least wasted space), so I’d assume larger packings would tend towards that. But in smaller packings, the efficiency loss from the extra size needed to offset the circles outweighs the efficiency gained by hex packing.
7x7 is the boundary where those efficiency tradeoffs switch.
What’s truly fucked is they got caught doing it, then got released on bail and it went on for another year before they got caught again. I hope these sick fucks go away for a long, long time.
Honestly, a part of me was a bit disappointed that’s not what it was. I was so invested and curious to learn why that could even happen, only to find it didn’t.
Glad he’s ok-ish, though.
You wouldn’t eat a car, would you?
I kicked my dog because there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism and the government uses my taxes unjustly.
Checkmate v*gans
That shit works IRL too. Why do you think therapy practices often have themselves positioned in front of a wall of books? Not that it’s a bad thing; it’s good for outcomes to believe your therapist is competent and well educated.
Ah yes, the extremist notion of not killing other sentient beings when you don’t have to. Wild indeed.
I enjoy some occasional unnecessary disclosure:
“Mmm, love me a nice cold glass of vegan water. Want some?”
“These vegan apples sure are good!”
Sometimes you gotta bring up the classics, maybe someone still hasn’t seen it and will be one of today’s lucky 10,000. (:
But there is basically nothing preventing you from some private recreational forklift operating
That sounds like a horrible idea. If you operate a forklift without proper training, some really bad stuff can happen.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say you’re not going to address your labour shortage by making things worse for labourers.
What are you talking about? The billionaires love cheap labour.
Oh, his voters. Yeahhh…
Studying maths is a good way to pasta time.
There’s a difference between not buying anything from China, which would be nearly impossible, and not specifically having your own merch made there, though, especially when you get to choose the manufacturer. It’s not like China is the only place you can have these things made.
There’s nothing wrong with shearing sheep if there’s no exploitation occurring. The problem is when you add a profit motive to keep breeding animals designed with their exploitation in mind.
However, I’m going to go out on limb here, and say there probably aren’t many sheep in the care of vegans except on animal sanctuaries. The important thing is to stop buying wool and funding animal exploitation.
Lol, yeah, same. r/VCJ helped me go vegan too. My first time there was so confusing and anger inducing.
This is the most efficient (known) packing of 17 unit squares inside a square. If you’re asking why it’s like that, that’s above my math proficiency level.
