    [The actual maximum number of points in the plane that can always be covered by disjoint unit disks is not known; embarrassingly, the best results currently are that 12 points are always coverable and 42 are not.] Did they provide any references with regard to those results? I'd like to peek at the proof strategy.

    Got me. Most of the Gulf stuff that I'm familiar with is too far away. If you were coming down from Chatanooga or from Virginia, I'd hit Cumberland Island. If you haven't been there, put it on your bucket list.

    @bachophile said in Leading from behind... AGAIN.: @Larry https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/articles/fotw-1189-june-7-2021-us-net-petroleum-imports-negative-2020 Actually according to this, 2020 was the first time in 70 years that the US exported more than it imported Imports peaked in 2005. I think the republicans were in power? But this is a government website so maybe it’s suspect No, it's correct. And it's what I said - 2 years ago we exported more oil than we importef.

    Great Pyrenees. Wonderful dogs. I admire a working dog. You raise a GP from a puppy with a herd of goats or sheep, and I guess they think they are part of the flock. They stay with them all of the time, even sleeping with them. You don't have to worry about coyotes, bobcats or any other problems, the dog will take care of that. Worth their weight in gold.

    For me, it was a rare event. But certainly worth the effort.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Can Ukraine push back?: @George-K said in Can Ukraine push back?: @Klaus presumably no access to replacement parts etc. Or a skillset to operate them. Though, I suppose a Zoom meeting might take care of that. I need to see a video of that… “Alexei is muted.. Click on the thing… No, that was your camera, click on the other thing… Ok, we can hear you but not see you. Click on the camera. There, that’s better, but it looks like you have the cat filter o….You know what? Screw it, let’s move on…” Ok, that made me laugh.
