It’s my preferred language for personal stuff. (I have no idea what’s behind it, but I’m sorry to see Sawyer X leave. And there certainly is cruft in Perl.)

The 70% is my issue with the article as well. That seems to indicate a 30% chance for the pandemic that actually happened, but that seems awfully high.

We have the same policy, but I must confess to not follow it when working from home. On the other hand, I live alone and all entrances to my home are always locked. On the third hand, having a very young child anywhere near my work computer

But most of the put will go through in the end, only the ones that chose to go the long way round will be the actual loss. Barring any delay discounts of course (if that is a thing).

If they can dig a tunnel along the boat a 100 feet deep, that would probably be enough to set it free. No need for a boatload of C4 then.

Well, according to[1] elsewhere in this thread, we can use 130 tons as an approximation for lift capacity. So for 200000 tons, that would require 1500 ICMBs connected to the ship and launched at the same time. Probably more expensive than m

If I understand [1] properly, the Chinook can lift 13 tons[2]. The Evergiven's maximum weight is 200000 tons. So that would be 15000+ Chinooks lifting it. A sight to behold. Added: Only about 1200 were ever produced, so that won't

To be fair, it's a ten minute train ride from Mestre to Venice, so slightly easier to correct than Maine->SF. But I don't understand why the station is sometimes(always?) called Venezia Mestre. Anyone going to Mestre on purpose
