So how do you buy a steamer and start tramping? Is that a thing you can do if you buy a vessel over 40 ft and get it registered and everything?

What if we put international shipping...on the blockchain?

There, now we can get 700 million dollars in startup investment.

Yeah those bastards took the opportunity to just gently caress everyone as hard as they could during the pandemic

They were filling every availible space for containers on the ships so they could just dictate their price which was 6 or 7 times the price before the pandemic started for a while there

Every time I talked to a freight forwarder they sounded like they were ready to put a gun in their mouth

This marks the logistics company’s third major round of layoffs over the past year or so, including 20% in December 2022 due to a macroeconomic downturn and another 20% in October to help cut costs.

My dad bought a new Highlander hybrid last year. Last night he sent me an email about a subscription service renewal and today he called me angrily that his screen is blank in his car. Apparently the navigation and infotainment screen runs off the cloud and you have to pay monthly for it. It has CarPlay but he’s saying that’s not working either so idk what the hell is going on.

Glad to buy a $50k car and you gotta pay monthly to use built in services now.

They charge you now to use wireless CarPlay? You have the goddamn phone and the car has a screen with connectivity so how is a built in feature a subscription service?

Again, I don’t know what my dad is talking about. They live a couple hours away and I have to see it in person to figure it out.
