My suggestion is to use land-based pulleys to rotate the ship around its center both working in unison, not tugs. Rough sketch... Image from the Dail Mail.  I added the green.

That's like saying all we need to go to Mars is a rocket with enough fuel. 
 
What pulleys?  Where will they come from and how will they get there?  What will the be installed on?  How would you power these pulleys? What are the cables going to be attached to?  How big would the cable need to be to pull upwards of 100,000 tons without breaking?  How big a diameter wheel would you need to hold that large a cable?

Drawing pretty pictures is easy.  Doing it is what counts. 

Well, let me see.  If a tug can be considered where is the cable issue?  We are not wanting to lift the ship, simply rotate it about its center axis in water. The problem is on a Canal and ships can still get to the area of the blockage so can be used for transport of equipment.  There are many engineering companies in the area since the Red Sea is below the canal. Oh, they are called winches I believe. Deisel usually powers them.

I hope they can just dig it out and pull it around with the tugs.  I simply offered an alternative and practical IMHO alternative should they not be able to, I don't see the need to be insulting.  It's just physics at the end of the day.  Hey, they could use floats too, they refloated a massive cruise ship a few years back. A few inches is maybe all that's required.  OK, I will shut up.

I’m old enough to remember Photoshop 1.0 on the 68000 Macs. Architecture transitions predate PowerPC-Intel.

Me too, I still have the disk, Photoshop aka MacPaint Pro courtesy of Knoll Bros., lol.  In fact, I have a disk with a beta earlier than 1.0 in my collection.

Why?

Why an 8K monitor at all?

Your eyes can't discern pixels at that resolution... even at 5K you don't see them. (assuming a person's eyes are far enough away that they can see the entire screen.)

So it's just for bragging rights that you sell/buy an 8k monitor? ... since there's no practical advantage to it.

What am i missing?

My Sony full-frame cameras shoot 6K stills, so at the very least a 6K monitor is required for editing the RAW images, 2K headroom is fine with me.

Here's looking at you Siri.

Logging in to CC now on my M1 to download.  Can't wait for Photoshop to be updated too, I have the beta but it only has a fraction of the features so far.  I wonder if LR Classic is updated too?  I see Photoshop and Camera RAW have updates for Intel also.
