after years of bitcoin and reddit short selling and credit default swaps and a million other things i don’t understand it’s so refreshing to hear that global commerce is in peril because a big boat got stuck in a canal

Has anyone suggested hydroxychloroquine yet for the ship stranded in the Suez Canal?

There was thought of suggesting a tugboat but it was nixed for fear that some folks might misunderstand and try to put one down their throat.

Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

It’s stupid to show height vs. length as they aren’t proportionate. Mt. Everest is only ~5 miles above sea level, but it’s the highest on earth. There’s a Lada car factory in Russia that’s over 6,000 feet long, if you turned it sideways it’s nearly double the height of the tallest building in the world.

Exactly. The earth is approx 25,000 miles from end to end and if you stood it on its side we'd all fall off into space.

It’s an illustration. It’s meant to dumb it down

Seeing them trying to move the thing with a tiny-looking excavator, it does seem they're trying the same "hit it with a stick" method
