#Logistics and transportation

[top-b-schools-kolkata]

In the intricate dance of global commerce, the seamless coordination of logistics and transportation is the heartbeat of an efficient supply chain. The Bengal Institute of Business Studies, a trailblazer in management education in Kolkata, recognizes the pivotal role logistics plays in shaping the future of supply chain management. As we delve into this exploration of the dynamic world of logistics and transportation, let's unravel the threads that bind the movement of goods and services, and how it impacts the larger framework of global trade.

My E-niversary is later today!! Yay!! Yippie!!!!

I'm glad to have made so much progress and found so much more joy and happiness and community!

Unfortunately I'm probably not going to make it to my next one due to chronic health issues that look like they'll be taking a turn for the fatal or worse over the next month if I don't get the medication I need for that, but I'm not going to stress about it. If I survive, I'll have a massive breakdown about it later, but for now, I'm a happy little kitty!

Love all my frens <3

Spotting transport company trucks while travelling is so fun for my gay + chronically online brain because I'll spot a truck that says "GEORGE TRANS" in big bold letters and I'll be like. Congrats on coming out king.

But for all its practical importance as a connector of industrial centres and an arch logistician of human movement, the shinkansen continues to play a role as an ideological encapsulator of Japan's sense of what it is and what it should ideally strive to be. There has never been a fatal accident. Average annual lateness across the JR Central network is 1.6 minutes. When the natural world forces the shinkansen to stop, you know conditions are genuinely bad.

So, a common criticism of sci-fi/space opera settings is that they have massive dreadnoughts and tiny freighters, but there are plenty of examples in space fiction of merchant ships being bigger than any warship, they just usually are a background element, not the focus of a story.

Well hello there, who's up for some fucked up horse?

Hogsteed, ladies and gentlemen. Or Hellspawns, as some might call them...

So yea it's one of the species I'm making up for fanfic purposes as none of the existing creatures in the SW universe (both canon and legends) fit my needs. Also because I'm making up a whole planet as none of the existing ones was just about right for me...

Here's the design, more detailed info will appear later. Somewhere. When I finally get myself to continue writing that fanfic. Yea...

i'm breaking my silence on the us elections to make two comments:

1) maybe when they replace biden, the us american political establishment will find out that they can in fact carry out an electoral campaign that lasts less than half a year, as is the case in most normal countries,* and take that as a lesson for the future (they won't, but still)

2) the whole voting pro:contra discourse is so baffling. in what world is "suck it up and vote" a good tactic to convince people to vote? like, someone addresses me like that and i will just automatically recoil. a lot of these posts are just very off-putting with the entitled attitude they're projecting. like, pushing the blame for electoral failures from politicians to the people who should've (??) voted for them just turns around completely the fact that politicians should customarily be accountable to the electorate. not the other way around. and wrt (??): why do you even think a certain group of people is supposed to vote for someone in the first place?

but also if you do want to steer politicians in a certain direction, publicly saying you will never vote for them is just throwing away your influence. even if you don't plan on voting! like, whether you do vote or not is your private matter and nobody will know what you do in the end, so whatever. but if you do have political goals you want to see realized, it only makes sense that your (appearance of) support is conditional. and always conditional, it goes both ways – blanket support is as toothless as blanket opposition. so yes, i find both cries that any and all criticisms of biden must be psyops as well as people convincing others that voting for democrats is always in vain quite baffling, at least as far as tactics go. you might prefer not to be strategic for whatever personal reasons and i have nothing to say to that**

and on this point as well, treating voting or not voting as some deeply moral act is misguided, i think. politics operates at a scale where one individual person has very little power, so to fault people for decisions on this level seems disproportionate if nothing else
