    It is on the Egyptian side of the canal that connects Egypt to North Dakota. HTH.

    Is it time to load up on toilet paper, again? I have about a 3 month supply on hand but one can never be too careful when it comes to TP.

    Just saw a tweet that it's going to take days or weeks to free this thing.

    Interesting story, hope nobody gets hurt -- like the dumbass Italian cruise ship captain that killed a bunch of folks.

    I mean you would think they would go ahead and get a second one going. The arm is long but the longer the arm the less dirt it can dig out in each scoop

    Yeah do they not have another (and bigger, that’s a pretty medium sized one) excavator in Egypt. One could’ve been digging from the front while the other digs from the side.

    Shipping from Asia -> US has been a clusterfuck for 6 months now. This will probably just exacerbate things (container shortages, vessel shortages, etc.) Good times.

    Well, yeah, I just know my company really started feeling it since August or so. A lot of the issues before that I just kind of chalked up to the annual CNY slowdown, which in this case was a even a little longer than usual.

    Should be pumping water there to wash the bank out instead of using 1 backhoe, but I’m not an Egyptian canal expert

    Egyptians built the god damn pyramids with no modern tools, yet in 2021 they can’t get a boat unstuck from the side of a canal.

    I think they are accepting advice from North Dakota canal experts at this point.
