Now, alternate with arrows and javelins until you can collect the wood

I understand we have this hyper fast realityshow now that needs to create clicks every nanosecond, but it would be great for the devs to build in a pause button for the end user.

Just turn off your phone.

Not knowing about the destruction of the world doesn’t stop it.

But also knowing about it without being able to do anything isn’t great for the mental health either.

It’s a real conundrum

Fuck I need that kind of break…

From archived version of the Bloomberg article:

The 23-year-old Adalynn sails under the Antigua and Barbuda flag and its insurer data are not on industry databases.

The vessel has been frequently sighted plowing the route between Russia’s Ust-Luga, in the Baltic Sea, and Vadinar on India’s west coast. Front Eagle is a 2020-built tanker sailing under the Liberian flag.

Emails sent to Oceanpack Ship Management, the listed owner of Adalynn went unanswered.

The article doesn't say that the Adalynn is a sanctioned ship

opensanctions.org does say the Adalynn is sanctioned by Ukraine for "involved in the transportation of weapons, stolen Ukrainian products and in the circumvention of sanctions" an "entity of interest", not on any sanctions lists, but citing Greenpeace labels the vessel as part of Russia's shadow fleet.

I think this is the source of confusion:

Adalynn was, under a previous name, under US sanctions from March 2022 to September 2023, accused of being used for illicit shipments in support of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

It's going to be an ecological disaster again, isn't it? Not that anyone cares anymore

Oh yeah, drill, baby drill!
