Ever Given getting unstuck, going forward, and then turning into the left bank would be some real poo poo.

the story of the guy operating the front end loader is the apotheosis of the essential worker. and by that i mean he's probably going to get thoroughly hosed over and not even get paid overtime.

what is a wafer in this context and why is it so expensive

Wafer meaning a wafer-thin slice of silicon crystal suitable for building circuits on top of. Each one is incredibly delicate to the point where they're only ever handled by machines lest some tiny amount of dirt or imperfection ruins them.

You have to remember that nothing matters though - if anything this will increase value somehow, probably in the stupidest way possible (rebuild a loop around the canal financed by Bitcoin?)

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
The tide charts for the canal indicate that next Tuesday will be the highest possible tide before it starts dropping, and then will only increase to current levels at the end of april lol. If the don't get it out before Wednesday they are in some serious trouble.
