Meet the cement transport ship that makes cement ingredients while sailing

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-01-24 15:11:50

Fittingly, the company has installed it aboard the UBC Cork, a cement carrier currently sailing through the Mediterranean Sea. When the ship docks in Norway, the limestone created from the voyage will be offloaded and used to make m

Medieval preacher invoked chivalric hero as a meme in sermon

There has been much debate over how to translate those fragments ever since, and whether the long-lost work was a monster-filled epic or a chivalric romance.
