i sometimes wish we'd just pull the trigger and liquidate the car we only use occasionally. it is like a child and their safety blanket.

the car is such a hassle to deal with!

He said he’d figure it out. How is that passive aggressive?

You made your stance clear. He needs to organize his own transportation. He has now said he will.

Take your trip and relax! You deserve it! Adding several hours of driving wouldn’t appeal to me either. That doesn’t make you a jerk.

Not so. The article is not exaggerating anything here, if you read it carefully. As another user pointed out, an isolated cell will conform to a circle. The crucial point here is that there is a 3-way junction between the cells that pulls equally in all 3 directions. And it makes sense if you think about it as well. 360 degrees (all directions) divided equally into 3 (surface tensions pulling equally in 3 directions) you get 120 degrees. Which is also, you guessed it, the interior angle of each vertex of a hexagon!

The example with the bundle of straws works on a similar concept, except instead of pulling, you are applying a force to the perimeter of a circle from 6 different directions. 360/6 = 60 degrees, the central angle made by dividing the perimeter into 6 straight sections (I. E. a hexagon).

>In the short, Miles Morales struggles to balance his responsibilities as a teenager, friend and student while acting as Brooklyn’s friendly neighborhood superhero. After a particularly challenging day living with these pressures, Miles experiences a panic attack that forces him to confront the manifestations of his anxiety and learn that reaching out for help can be just as brave an act as protecting his city from evil.

Probably not but I love the idea!
