After all day trying to refloat the mega container ship 'Ever Given', in the Suez Canal, there is a steady log jam of ships waiting in the Mediterranean & Red Sea and in the canal itself pic.twitter.com/aGFKieoWqE

So, the #SuezCanal is blocked...
Massive container ship EVER GIVEN stuck in the most awkward way possible.
Ongoing for hours. Every tug Egypt could spare appear to be trying to pull it free.

Also, a teeny excavator tried to help.
Thanks @rmcfadzean for surfacing the pic!

Also: forget #iceroadtruckers, marine salvage YouTube is where it's at.

How big is this #SuezCanal plug? Ultra big.
MV #EVERGIVEN
Size: 400m long / 59m wide
Gross tonnage: 219,079
Capacity: 20,388 TEUs (20ft container equivalents).
One of the largest container ships in operation.
For the confused: MV EVER GIVEN's operator is Evergreen Marine (https://t.co/ROoStEAGmk) and Ever___ is a naming convention for some vessels.
Sincerely hope she posts again, Egyptian twitter shows up, or...if you know someone else on the DENVER, drop them a line!

... to mariners, canal officials have a historic reputation for 'appreciating' cartons of cigarettes...earning it the nickname "Marlboro Canal"
Austin-powers-stuck-in-tunnel vibe is getting stronger.
I feel for this crew, & the tugboat operators. Nobody is getting any sleep.
(innocent, but terrible luck)

Reports from logistics company GAC say cause of grounding was a blackout.
This is worst-nightmare material when doing a canal transit.

(~10% of global seaborne traded oil transits Suez & SUMED . ~9% of LNG.)
So, what if this closure persists...

Some oil will still flow through SUMED, but for everything else: global logistics madness. For example, US EIA calculates that a US tanker from KSA would add ~2,700 miles.

I inadvertently left on the cutting room floor NARRATOR saying "AND the Cape of Good Hope."👇
No wonder I had so many chars to work with..
Also, #EverGiven is still stuck.

NARRATOR: the all-important #SuezCanal lets ships bypass the historically treacherous Horn of Africa...

👨💻 Last resume I sent to a startup one year ago, sharing with you to get ideas:
- Forget what you don't have, make your strength bold
- Pick one work experience and explain what you did in detail w/ bullet points
- Write it towards the role you apply
- Give social proof
/thread
"But I got no work experience..."
Make a open source lib, make a small side project for yourself, do freelance work, ask friends to work with them, no friends? Find friends on Github, and Twitter.
Bonus points:
- Show you care about the company: I used the company's brand font and gradient for in the resume for my name and "Thank You" note.
- Don't list 15 things and libraries you worked with, pick the most related ones to the role you're applying.
-🙅♂️"copy cover letter"
"I got no firends, no work"
One practical way is to reach out to conferences and offer to make their website for free. But make sure to do it good. You'll get:
- a project for portfolio
- new friends
- work experience
- learnt new stuff
- new thing for Twitter bio
If you don't even have the skills yet, why not try your chance for @LambdaSchool? No? @freeCodeCamp. Still not? Pick something from here and learn https://t.co/7NPS1zbLTi
You'll feel very overwhelmed, no escape, just acknowledge it and keep pushing.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
