    Cost drop won't fix a lot of the delays. The same places will still be bottle necked and congested. Also as your own article points out
    The plunge in spot shipping rates, the analyst said, is mainly caused by the imminent off-season and a reduction in manufacturing due to China's ongoing power crunch.
    Multiple provinces across China are suspending factory production to ameliorate energy shortages or to meet the central government's energy consumption control targets.

    So less production means less supply.

    Experts are split on how shipping rates will develop in the near future. A research report by CSC Financial said shipping rates would stay relatively high in the next two weeks as U.S. ports stay congested and the gap between supply and demand remains large. The Tianfeng Securities analyst, however, predicts a decline in shipping rates, as export growth is expected to slow in the fourth quarter.

    So according to the article it could go either way.

    Off season means less demand (which you continue to ignore). Peak shopping period in the US is the holiday season, afterwards things will drop off. That happens every year. 2 weeks ago, nobody predicted that spot prices will drop, but hei, they dropped anyways.

    I think everyone that missed the reissue the first time bought one or maybe two themselves. There isn’t new demand for the remaining supply.

    Did you finally get rid of that lion statue in front of your house?
    The neighbors were already talking about an intervention ...

    Pre-ordering for Hannibal is available in the UK and Europe from Kapow, right now. You can pay a 10% deposit, if you like.

    I don’t think your waifu pillow will like being replaced. FT-40 isn’t built for snuggles.

    I’m just curious what kind of nightstand you own. I have never found one that could be considered comfortable to sit on let alone sleep on. Did you get it at IKEA?

    Depending on size and comfort levels, I may have to ditch a nightstand OR body pillow, maybe both if it’s reaaal big, but I’m willing to make that tough choice. If I have to sleep on city mode than that’s what’s up now!

    I don’t think this entirely fits your criteria but I was able to create this mock-up based on a photo Teletran provided of his room. Hopefully it helps you envision how FT-40 can be accommodated into your living space.
