The entire retail world and associated supply chains are predicated on inventory turns. Every retail space from Walmart to car dealerships to Dick's to 7-11 calculates how quickly they can turn inventory per square foot, then meticulouslyand systematically maximizes every square for maximum turn. If that inventory is late by even a day, their calculus goes awry and generally the vendor is penalized accordingly. Loss....you has it.

How does it not? There are enough zeros that you can't even wrap your head around how much money that is, even if you think you can. It's a stupid thing to argue about. What are you even arguing? What is your point other than that I am wrong? That is is totally not a big deal whatsoever? Sure.

Ok great. All my comments have been irrespective of whether she deserved it or not. Despite posters hypersensitivity to perceived misogyny, my observation was just about that can happen. Thats more wealth than many nations.
People who don't have anything to say besides arguing against what someone else says are a waste of time so I bid you gooday sir.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

Not a salvage guy, but... 400,000 ton ship stuck in the sand. It's still mostly afloat, so if it's 10% stuck, they need a 40,000 ton push to move it (wild guess that sand stickiness is 1:1). They want to move using little boats that can generate 100 or 200 tons of force. Likely less once they get some circular currents going - can't push as hard against water already moving in the direction you want to push against. (though the same currents may help erode the sand). In short, yes, gotta dig out/dredge the high center (or liquefaction it?). Looks fun!

Till tomorrow. BBC article says they moved it 30 degrees and back. Ought to be able rock it loose pretty fast if they can move it that much. Although... it is pretty big. If it takes 10 minutes to rock one way, they need to rock it say 50ish times to free it (49 with crew standing on stern ), and can only rock it 2 hours on either side of high tide... then it might be stuck a few days longer. I think that dredge really sucks, so even if they miss they high tide, they'll still get it done.

seems to me they could move some sand underwater with bigass hoses if they had pumps strong enough to generate enough psi.
