Everyone always fantasizes about bringing back F-22s or whatever to 1941 and letting them wild on the Luftwaffe but I humbly submit bringing back modern stackable ISO containers and the means to fabricate more of them would be an absolute game-changer compared to the majority of breakbulk shipping.

Who is going to unload and load bulk and breakbulk sail vessels? You need sher numbers of people unless they're going to be big enough for side hatches and pallets and that kind of stuff.
This article says food transport has a "large carbon footprint" w/ headings like "the climate impacts of cargo ships" but I couldn't find a single data point related to food transport emissions in the article.
Perhaps surprisingly, transport only accounts for **~6%** of global food-related GHGs. 1/

AI agents are information forklifts in that they enable their operator to manipulate massive amounts of information very quickly, provided the information is in a format suitable for an AI agent to handle.
In industrial settings, forklift operators are certified through an OSHA training program.

This morning I tried to sneak in one more 90-minute vacation on Tybee Island before the semester starts and was rewarded with the worst jellyfish sting I’ve had in YEARS. Also, the city manager shouted my name as he was driving an ATV down the beach, so I guess I need to cool it for a while. 🪼
