For all the talk of a return to fundamentals and straightforward geodicies, surprising that tetrahedron has not made its long-rumored return. It's the lattice supporting the incomparable strength of Diamond (mineral, not shallow) after all.

Every time I write one of these a tetrahedron guy shows up and at this point I would not be surprised to learn it's paid marketing from cube trying to rattle pyramid

Cylinder needs a rebrand in which it's tipped on its side and called "rod." Rods are cool. You can ram them. You can hit people with them. They reinforce buildings. They help you see along with #6 cone. They are the shape of many bacteria. Starships are shaped like rods. Rods are cool.

This is a horrible idea. Everyone knows that the best flavor of cylinder is “disk.”

Classic orb to roll out something like this *after* the latest rankings have been set.

Internecine squabbling between orb and icosahedron over whether truncation "counts" mean that *both* miss out on the World Cup bump. Brutal.
