Applebees Appetizer posted:It says it has cost us 40 billion so far I realize you're being flippant, but it will actually cost you money, long term. loving the Suez is going to increase prices nearly across the board. Albeit, not in a defined way, aka no "Suez tariff", but a penny here and a nickel there... It's the same as the tariffs on Chinese electronic components. You don't know that you're paying it, but you are.

Just sayin here, what about blowing it up? Define it as a hostile combatant and send in the drones, bunker busters, doodlebugs or what have you. Resolve this business in an hour or so?

When they decommission ships, they have a huge chain saw they can use to literally section view ships. It's neat

Also  at “I won’t notice [the price increases in general that I’ll definitely be paying] so I’m not paying it”Goods that will be sold either way and would have sold for x billion dollars without this absolutely will be sold for x+~40(so far) billion dollars and consumers absolutely will pay that difference because businesses sure as gently caress won’t

Krakkles posted:Also Also consumers will pay for it even if the cost isn't incurred! Truly some of that cost has to be an opportunity cost, and time value of money estimated cost. Also there's a finite amount of money for most people so while I may pay more for some goods it doesn't mean I still buy the same amount of goods. Perhaps downgrade to substitutes or go without. Because of those options businesses are incentivizes to make less or cut costs elsewhere to keep profits level. It's better to sell your stuff at less than you expected than not at all. In the end I agree with you, business screw customers first, and we will pay more. The difference is we may not be paying with money, also with time and quality.

Think I'll play this with a straight bat. Hit that thing with all the conventional ordinance you want, all that will happen is you will sink it properly and good luck now moving 220,000 ton of dead weight that is still the approximate shape of a ship. You would need *nuclear* level devices to blow a new canal in short order which was considered decades ago and a nuke of even a megaton capacity is going to have a problem erasing something that big. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare Good luck getting *that* approved.

Yeah great you turned a giant stuck ship into a giant stuck pile of metal that now is random instead of orderly. Blowing up the Ever Given is simply the worst idea.

The company I work for makes explosives to cut, shock, push, seperate and destroy. Not all explosives fall into the last category. You can make explosives whose purpose is to push stuff really hard instead of annihilate it. Granted you need a shitload of mass to react against which would actually be the harder part unless you don't care about making a loving huge crater.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Think I'll play this with a straight bat. The "standard crater" for Plowshare was a 100kt bomb in hard rock. That produced a crater 1280' wide and 380' deep. That diameter is basically the length of the Ever Given. The Effects of Nuclear Weapons Chapter VI "Underground Effects" has some scaling factors based on geologic conditions. Dry hard rock is 1.0, with "wet affluvium" at 2.0; we can safely assume that whatever's under the suez falls between those. So putting a single 100kt bomb 653' under the vessel will replace the vessel with a crater and a 400' deep lake. This is probably excessive. A 10-20kt device directly under the vessel on the bottom of the canal would accelerate the entire thing, clearing the canal simply and easily. A megaton is a couple orders of magnitude of overkill.

Lies. The only screwdrivers I've ever stripped out of the handle itself (broke free of the plastic) had hex handles. Maybe back in the old days where manufacturers spent the extra .00001 cent to put metal wings on the shaft this would have worked.
