Interesting choice of wording in that first sentence. That's the topic of my next post.

Thanks for such an entertaining post. You are clearly a genius at this ship thing, but do you know how to fold a fitted sheet?

"Money Stuff" was off for Easter Week; but you did make today's 'Kickers' postscript from Bloomberg Opinion's daily newsletter. That's some kind of meta...

I realised that some time around Saturday morning. It was the worst news I had all weekend. Unfortunately I'm not subscribed to the Bloomberg Opinion's daily newsletter, so I guess I'll have to wait for someone who is to forward it to me.

Really like your creativity and the story behind. I have frequently checked that site to see anything else. After so long and all of a sudden, I realised the pronoun of a ship should have been “she/her”. Perhaps you can consider to update?😀 from twitter @ice_Yaya

👍 Great writeup! Do you plan on open-sourcing the repo for history's sake?
