I just gave up beer this year. A couple of years ago I gave up ALL booze. That was a pain. Just beer is uncomfortable, but OK....so far.

If that's the retainer nut, doesn't it belong on Uranus?

Absolutely. 6 nearly equal sides is hard to get naturally, unless this is a giant fractal.
Basalt columns.
To: D-fendr
It is the most efficient shape for packing/stacking. It provides the most area for a given perimeter. Bees use it: Sorry to bust your love-fest with the hexagon D-Fendr, the circle provides the largest area for a given perimeter.
Also I don't think it can beat a cube for ease of stacking... With hexagon tubes you can never pack to the edge of the container regardless of the side of the hexagon.
However, you are correct, bees do use it ;-)
Note: Just adding, this is an old topic. Thanks anymouse.
