@futzle This was fascinated to me when it happened!
@futzle NOW DO AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER YOU COWARDS

@futzle that was 5 yrs ago?

WHAT

helpp

@futzle Today when we talk about Big Boats Being Stuck it's all droning "Mine! Mine! Mine!"

@futzle I had 14 containers on the Ever Given.

I made sure my Supply Chain folks were deep in rum.

@futzle Five Years! Heck! Where did the time go?
@Tooden @futzle They grow unstuck so fast

@futzle

Back when looking at the news was done for the humor!

@futzle if only the current shipping crisis could be that harmless
@cinebox @futzle the writers of this universe love foreshadowing, apparently

@futzle

Such simpler times...

@boelder
Wanted to say similar: “Oh how I long for simpler times!” Always drama with these narrow bodies of water…

@futzle

@futzle five years later and everything's going strait now 
@futzle no way it's been 5 years already ​
@futzle imagine if they did it again and then both red sea and Persian gulf were blocked. Watch inflation burn us all.
@futzle @baralheia what was Ever Given for this to happen?

@futzle

“Ahmed, when do you think you'll be done with your task?”

A typical not-my-fault-but-somehow-my-problem type of situation.

@futzle Tiens ça me fait penser que ça fait aussi 5 ans et quelques jours qu'un data center, celui d'OVH, brûlait à Straßbourg. Du coup bonne fête à toutes celles et ceux qui n'avaient pas de sauvegardes !
@MonsieurBalarate Oh was that the same week?
@futzle No. It was on the 19th march during the night
@MonsieurBalarate Close enough!
@futzle Yes 🙂 That why you remind me this fact with Suez's boat 😉
@futzle Just imagine if this were to happen today...

@futzle some say it was *so* stuck it could be seen from space

*checks notes*

ah yes, I have just been told we do actually have photographic evidence of this.

@futzle I see I wasn't the only person who had the boat stuck incident in their calendar lol
@nota I have no idea what you mean.
@futzle that aerial image makes me thing 'how it feels to pass 5 gum"
