It’s not discriminatory. They don’t have any legal obligation to serve citizens of foreign countries. Citizen of USA isn’t a protected class. When they do serve American citizens it triggers a whole lot of regulatory work, and it’s understandable they don’t want to do that unless you’re a high net worth individual (ie they make enough profit to cover that cost)
Apparently the maritime insurance market writes about $1b per year, around .005% of hull value to 1-3% - which exceeds the profit margin.
It’s already closed. The threat and the resulting insurance pull is all that’s needed. https://shanakaanslemperera.substack.com/p/actuarial-warfare-how-seven-insurance
Saw the multitude of economic indicators and worried for a minute.
Trump is about to find out that ship owners won’t risk hundreds of millions per ship on an uninsurable voyage just to stroke his ego.
I tried to eliminate caffeine to reduce anxiety in combination with my ADHD meds.
My morning routine without coffee was hard; decaf helped a lot though. Ultimately didn’t kick the addiction though.
If I may be so bold, 400mg is a lot. Your body habituates, so why push the envelope?
The meds for many people reduce sleep quality. You should talk to your doctor. Drug, dosage, and timing can help. As others said, you should do a sleep study.
One thing you didn’t mention is exercise; it may help, but it’s not a panacea. It should be completed well before sleep, as intense exercise is stimulating.
Blue light filters are simply nowhere near as effective as simply dimming the lights and taking screens out of the equation for those hours is more effective. But again, this is far from a panacea.
Smug, but transportation runs on fossil fuels so it’ll catch up in groceries and everything, so then I return to the standard anxiety and depression these days.
That’s weaseling.
They have access to diverse supply. The reserves in hand are a different topic.
They’re both seafaring Europeans and got around.

Only AI companies is going to see the things, the way things are going.
The US builds all their embassies like a fortress while others just have them in a normal building.
The example provided is USA centric but eminently repeatable in other countries and makes a ton of sense. Some parts of the world you can get to the right side of the street between 10 and 20 XYZ street with the code.
Looks good. I struggle with timing my sourdough.
It serves as a base, yes. It doesn’t respond to changes in demand quickly. I suspect that tech has gotten to the point where batteries are a better investment.
“We build cars that are too expensive for most people to buy and we need that profit! What could we do?”
Nuclear is an expensive alternative to big batteries. I’m not sure about the long term economics but a megawatt of nuclear is more expensive up front
Reporters going off of no information beyond what’s supplied by the vendor in the press release.
Imagine thinking replacing workers with AI is what’s going to demolish the economy, rather than the circular reinvestment of trillions of dollars in ludicrously unprofitable companies to build the AI. The AI which has yet to meaningfully and measurably raise productivity
Or a war. That’s also hurting.
Good point.
