Gibraltar and Bering are pretty straight straits; Bab-el-Mandeb is at a change in heading, but pretty straight once you do the heading change. Not sure if any other has the up-over-and-down of Hormuz...
Two larger containerships and one smaller one. 2x Panama and 1x Liberian flags.
I would have said relegation was not possible with this squad strength, but Spurs seem intent on providing a counter-example. Is it a see-saw, or is something now more fundamentally broken? Were the players motivated by CL in Europe, and now that it's over, there is nothing left?
Wonderful to see so many of our alums presenting alongside our students on sustainability! Many challenges out there, but progress is being made - research teams, venture firms, and existing operators. Thank you so much to Dew Orvieto for making it possible.

I grew up down the road from Hampshire, watching their sheep graze along Rt 116. Innovation in higher ed is difficult, infinitely more so without deep pockets behind you. This is such a sad end to a story I didn't fully appreciate until I became an academic.

Pre-blockade deadline?
…but not 100% sure they won’t test it assuming TACO and the chance to make the US look even more impotent.
Or run the blockade with a Chinese flagged VLCC to see if we really are willing to board/stop it. I doubt China would want to use this as a test case as standing on the side and watching us hit ourselves on our own head repeatedly is lower risk and we have further to fall still…
I worked on large procedural Fortran 77 simulation codes with static memory allocation shared common blocks and much longer functions. I’ve often wondered what Claude would do with that. Of course, I was also much slower and error prone as a programmer in that context…
True, in my own workflow I tend to have AI help with functions after I have written the signature and the prompt probably has 90%+ of the structure specified. I do think object oriented design helps AI a ton - functions tend to be small and the overall code structure clear. Earlier in my career…
Points dropped from winning positions… 🤦♂️#nufc
...it also means the message has new content, new revelations, and a new considered viewpoint. Understanding and becoming skilled in the processes of creation, evaluation, and decision-making is central to how I teach ship design, and much of that transfers to writing. AI isn't doing it for you
..students to work with AI that starts with AI writing the first draft for the student to review are insane. Formulating the argument structure and then finding solutions to address inevitable inconsistencies, contrary evidence, and final details are what make writing a learning activity...
AI shouldn't be writing your first drafts - it really shouldn't be writing at all, but the argument structure and outline are the last topics it should ever be trusted with. Coding help sure, research help sure, looking for errors and being a critic maybe, but all these hot takes about training...
system, sensors, and weapons should have been a red flag on the parent hull decision, as I have written about before - a2navarc.substack.com/p/coming-to-...
This is a good read - the small "r" requirements issue is also related to a lack of investment in ship design standards since the mid 1990s draw-down. A goal-based standards approach would have helped FFG-62, though I remain convinced that swapping the entire combat...
It's not the technologies that are pipe dreams or clearly too far to come to fruition that are the most risky to invest in or most likely to distract large bureaucracies; it's the stuff that almost works...

Uggg…I feel like we’ve run this experiment all year and keep getting surprised at the same result. Playing 2x a week with limited rotations means we can’t play for a full 90 in our preferred style and we end up leaking goals. Most pts dropped from winning positions in the league. #nufc
Semesters barely half over!
War-risk insurance premiums are surging amid military escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital trade corridor carrying around one quarter of global seaborne oil, as well as significant LNG and fertilizer volumes.
UNCTAD analysis: https://ow.ly/l9kq50YsWXb
Looks light in water even with fwd holds flooded- will anyone be brave enough to see if all the LNG burned off? I’m not sure how one would even think about removing any remaining LNG…
It’s good, though I’d make the strait bar a bit thicker with a touch more white space so it doesn’t look like all of China’s oil comes from Saudi
I believe this will be the largest LNG ship lost to fire by some margin. Does not appear to have exploded, at least yet.
Uhhhh I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to present again with a straight face after reading this….
The most unsatisfying part is that Haaland has to foul back to preserve the outcome. I don’t love that but I’m not sure addressing that is worth ruling the goal out
Managed to get involved or impact the outcome in any way. It’s not that the fouls cancel out, it’s just that they didn’t impact the goal. Cherki is the one hard done by.
Wilson’s parade of horribles that he uses as reasons the call must be upheld is completely reversible. What if Man City loose the title on goal difference now? What if Liverpool don’t make the CL as they lost at Sunderland? Two players fouled each other trying to get involved in a play. Neither
I’m not sure I agree with any of Wilson’s logic. Cherki struck a goal-bound ball. There were multiple off the ball fouls by others, which didn’t impact the outcome. Reds are for denying a team, not a specific player, a goal scoring opportunity (per the rules)
