My, we are an aggressively stupid dipshit today.
The only thing that meaningfully matters to a cargo ship is size.
Vessels are already slow sailing to artificially constrain bandwidth and prop up rates, and have been since COVID.
Nobody on earth is trying to build FASTER cargo ships, and haven't for 50 years. Jesus Christ. If only slashdot had a "doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about" filter.
Well, no, there's no law against shipping single containers at a time either. It just means a banana costs $100,000.
We have an entire thread here where you have ecological doomsayers are telling the world's most efficient transport industry how they can do things better. Sure.
Half the size? By what math?
It can carry 5300t. That's 215x 20t containers.
The largest container ships today are in the 23000 teu range which even if we assume they can't all max out at 20t... Let's assume 10t.... Is still 230,000t or 43x larger.
AI is bullshit and vastly overrated.
Well, it's not really AI in any sense of the honest term; it's not a self aware machine. AI has become a marketing term for servers running a bunch of fancy scripts that produce dialogue that can pass for human speech fairly well. BUT... AI is a game changer economically because those fancy scripts are already killing jobs, jobs that won't be replaced by something else. So in that sense, AI isn't "bullshit". It's an extinction level event for entire classes of formerly human work. And the economic and social and political crisis that it will create has clearly already began.
I genuinely don't understand why slashdots downvote mafia attacked my former post as troll. Unless I miss my guess I have a fair couple of stalkers that just downvote every post I make, and then pepper my comments with bottish AC replies about Trump and No Kings.
Anyway, to your point, if you haven't seen it, I offer for your amusement something relative to your comment from the great Trevor Moore:

"More people need to spend more time trying to enjoy their own lives instead of obsessing over what other people are doing."
Well jesus christ man, if we can't spend our idle hours scolding other people for what they wear/do/drive/eat/believe, what's the fucking point of social media even FOR then?
But as someone who was homeschooled, what are you going to do when you kids eventually have to interact with the shitshow that is the real world?
This presupposes that they don't get plenty of "real world" while they're homeschooling. As if they're in some hermetically sealed environment where bad things never touch them. When we homeschooled ours, one of my wife's single friends objected, asking us "what about socialization?". Well, what about it? There's still plenty of it with friends and family, church, and play. And when they're young adults, they're better able to deal with the scum of the world than a pre-teen or teenager thrown into the cage match that is modern public schools where you can't get to them. School is supposed to be about education, not be a Thunderdome where the weak are weeded out for the coming apocalypse. Whatever my sons missed in public schools, they're far better off not being in a concrete box where some hulking delinquent 3 to 4 years older than all his class peers is punching teachers or pulling a gun on students.
Well yes, if we radically change the rules about how we measure things, we can successfully re-apportion blame to the US, the inventor of slavery, war, and all things bad.
Congrats!
Honestly, the problem was Co. v. Riggs (203 U.S. 243 (1906)) that established corporations be treated legally like people.
The moment this happened it was the beginning of the exoneration of c-suites from the consequences of their actions. I suspect that if these individuals' freedom and wealth were liable for the consequences of their choices, the subsequent century would have played out rather differently.
Dipshit alert.
If you want to go to that granularity, there's no Black culture nor Asian culture, etc.
Literally, if there is a society of people that's a) uniformly a single ethnic group and b) collectively acts in ways that are identifiable and predictable to the group, it would be Scandinavians.
I'd recommend you read something by Geert Hofstede, if you can read.

Who do you believe of two amoral organizations?
Rockstar: giant corp, obviously has a vested interest in painting the employees as shits
Union: ALSO a profit-driven organization just from another direction. Has a vested interest in showing the employees were sainted victims of corporate fascists.
Answer: neither, I simply don't give a shit and would happily see both Rockstar collapse and all of their organizing workers immediately unemployed.
When they did this on Monday I was annoyed. However, the fact that that they managed to remotely brick it again when it wasn't even online is just impressive!
It's the Christmas season. Everybody loves a two-for-one deal.
Oh I get it. Whites and their culture are to be despised when possible, lauded when useful. Seems pretty straightforward.
That's pretty much what I finally decided on too. Shrug. I work for a EU firm in the US so we even have a corp car policy that if you get an EV they'll pay for installing a charge station at your house which I suspect I could finagle (or end up paying only an upcharge for) into a decent home-size battery-storage that I've wanted as well.
Maybe my next car-buying cycle.
What people on
- yes, I'm a cutting edge tech guy; I would LIKE to drive an ev for all sorts of reasons, some of them irrational
- at the same time, I recognize the shortcomings and have to recognize REAL LIFE calculations of time, value, etc.
Initially, yes, I thought so too.
I don't know what universe you live in but it's rather often that I drive MORE THAN JUST to/from work in a day? I live in an exurb, so while I figured I could get by with 40mi/day on elec to cover the occasional run into the nearest shopping center, parts story, Costco, or Microcenter...well yeah, if most of my driving is going to end up being gas-powered (on an overweight, overcomplicated, under-engined vehicle as well) then...why waste my $/time on a PHEV?
