There is a time and place for shenanigans. (edit: THIS is that time and place)

Yeah, that's definitely a hobby I have been contemplating getting into forever.

I mean like a 3d printer or a camera lens.

We do see different goods from different regions hitting different ports. Like China for example. They're not shipping a lot through the panama canal because it's too expensive for general goods. Same with German cars. Those are going to the East coast and riding the rails west. Produce coming up off season from South America goes through the gulf, Oil goes everywhere (though we're a net exporter of oil vs an importer. The challenge with oil is refineries availability rather than supply. Gas is cheaper east of the Mississippi because there are way more refineries and competition keeps the prices lower. West coast, a lot of the fuel is coming out of CA, and we're all suffering for it because of their taxes.)

Having a lot of rail freight in motion with product already on the ground is part of why they are saying the impact can be weeks away, but you still see fluctuations in price the further away from the source you get. Companies can average out the transport costs to a certain degree, but a lot of the "last mile" freight haul is inconsistent on pricing and distributors don't always own the end-to-end supply chain. So you see those prices flux.

And no, I have absolutely no idea how I've picked up this much about how global supply chains work. Not typically something I care about unless it's tracking something coming from China for a hobby

I think youtube is messing with me. I keep getting junk channels recommended to me in the sidebar, specifically in the third place down from the top.

Like this. Perfectly normal video that goes in with what I watch and then garbage like this:

Yeah. I also keep getting ones for gaming content and anime content. I don't watch anime.

@notabitail I have an "older tech" quiz for you. See if you can identify the computer I'm working on prototyping parts to build a sleeper PC with. I will give you one hint. it isn't x86 architecture.

Hmm, looks like a handle. Twentieth anniversary Mac?

It's got to be a Mac of some kind.
