Inland transport plays a vital role in the supply chain by moving goods from ports and production facilities to their final destinations. It utilizes multiple modes, including trucks, trains, and barges, to provide flexibility and efficiency. Effective inland transport minimizes delays, cuts costs, and improves the overall reliability of deliveries. By integrating with maritime and air transport, it ensures a smooth and cohesive logistics process, crucial for meeting market demands and maintaining customer satisfaction.

#okay to circle back to the walrus vs fairy being more surprising to encounter on your doorstep#i just remembered that a couple of years ago there WAS a walrus lost on the finnish coast#it did end up on someone's backyard. did not knock on the door as far as i know#but that WAS surprising enough that the media was talking about it for WEEKS#so. if a walrus on the coast is Big News just imagine how mind boggling it would be if one appeared inland and in the middle of city#(sadly the tale of our lost walrus was not a happy one. it died when they tried to transport it to safety)#(which speaks to the point that you can't really Bring a walrus in a random location either. they're hard to move around safely)#sussitalk

USA please listen to me: the price of “teaching them a lesson” is too high. take it from New Zealand, who voted our Labour government out in the last election because they weren’t doing exactly what we wanted and got facism instead.
Trans rights are being attacked, public transport has been defunded, tax cuts issued for the wealthy, they've mass-defunded public services, cut and attacked the disability funding model, cut benefits, diverted transport funding to roads, cut all recent public transport subsidies, cancelled massive important infrastructure projects like damns and ferries (we are three ISLANDS), fast tracked mining, oil, and other massive environmentally detrimental projects and gave the power the to approve these projects singularly to three ministers who have been wined and dined by lobbyists of the companies that have put the bids in to approve them while one of the main minister infers he will not prioritise the protection of endangered species like the archeys frog over mining projects that do massive environmental harm. They have attacked indigenous rights in an attempt to negate the Treaty of Waitangi by “redefining it”; as a backup, they are also trying to remove all mentions of the treaty from legislation starting with our Child Protection laws no longer requiring social workers to consider the importance of Maori children’s culture when placing those children; when the Waitangi Tribunal who oversees indigenous matters sought to enquire about this, the Minister for Children blocked their enquiry in a breach of comity that was condemned in a ruling — too late to do anything — by our Supreme Court. They have repealed labour protections around pay and 90 day trials, reversed our smoking ban, cancelled our EV subsidy, cancelled our water infrastructure scheme that would have given Maori iwi a say in water asset management, cancelled our biggest city’s fuel tax, made our treasury and inland revenue departments less accountable, dispensed of our Productivity Commission, begun work on charter schools and military boot camps in an obvious push towards privatisation, cancelled grants for first home buyers, reduced access to emergency housing, allowed no cause evictions, cancelled our Maori health system that would have given Maori control over their own public medical care and funding, cut funding of services like budgeting advice and food banks, cancelled the consumer advocacy council, cancelled our medicine regulations, repealed free prescriptions, deferred multiple hospital builds, failed to deliver on pre-election medical promises, reversed a gun ban created in response to the mosque shootings, brought back three strikes = life sentence policy, increased minimum wage by half the recommended amount, cancelled fair pay for disabled workers, reduced wheelchair services, reversed our oil and gas exploration ban, cancelled our climate emergency fund, cut science research funding including climate research, removed limits on killing sea lions, cut funding for the climate change commission, weakened our methane targets, cancelled Significant National Areas protections, have begun reversing our ban on live exports. Much of this was passed under urgency.
It’s been six months.

Introducing: Dipper Pines, Young Adult
Now a young man, he’s currently a permanent resident at Gravity Falls, living with his Grunkles on the Stan-O-War II docked at the lake. (The Sooslets are ever-growing and the Pines insist Soos and Melody need the Mystery Shack’s space. And how did they transport such a huge boat into a lake inland? Just ask McGuckett)
This stage of his life can be summed up like this:
Ask Dipper to steal Baba Yaga’s flying mortar, rip out the back hair of a raging alpha werewolf, or drink the brain water out of a Kappa’s head — He’ll do all of that back-to-back, with no hesitation, and come out unscathed.
But ask Dipper to attend a college party by himself, make some new friends his age that aren’t mythical creatures, or learn how to pay taxes — This only spells disaster.

PG&E killed 85 people and then raised our rates. And then they would just cut the power any time there was wind so they wouldn’t get fined for killing more people so everyone was paying more money for more blackouts. Great system.
it was weird living outside california for the first time and learning that in most locations people DON'T have personal beef with their electrical utility??? massachusetts was like "eversource: it's fine? i don't really think about it." meanwhile i'm pretty sure everyone in california loathes pg&e passionately
#la dwp is also not great#la dwp purchased all the water rights for a lot of land in the inland desert communities#they just transport the water all the way to the coast#it was a whole big thing#there was a domestic terrorism about it#still not as bad as PG&E

Pop quiz: reading comprehension!
1. This epic is named "The Odyssey". Can you explain, based on the text and your understanding of the definition of "odyssey", why this is a fitting title?
2. Can you explain why Odysseus' journey home took so long? Who (or what) caused this delay? Hint: In the text, are there any characters that could affect one's ability to travel safely/in the right direction?
Was curious how far Ithaca was from troy today while listening to epic the musical and rereading the illiad and I found this map
I think odysseus would have been better just to walk😭
#idk man this is inconsequential but its just. cmon. haha very funny but#gonna be honest. this post is making me a little peeved.#like sorry. can we think of any reason that water travel would be preferable if you are traveling a long way?#would perhaps. a lack of extensive inland road infrastructure make this journey a teensy bit harder?#and would you like to carry more than you can put on your back? how about food or water?#do you have an accurate map? good news about the mediterranean: its small! you can follow coasts! you can island hop!#would you prefer to travel on something that largely conveys itself/can move while part of your group rests#or would your party like to all do the same amount of work all the time and move more slowly#*sigh*#i dunno. the iliad and the odyssey are very cool oral traditions and there is a lot we can infer about life in that period from them#preferred modes of long distance transport being like. the snow sitting on top of the iceberg.#so “hur dur why take so long” has me a little cranky. 1) there are in-text reasons called “the plot” and 2) real life logistical reasons!!

What is the difference between inland and oceanic waterways?
Water transport is a two-part adventure! We have inland waterways, like rivers, canals, and lakes, navigating within the embrace of land. Also, there are the oceans vast expanses of open water connecting continents and carrying us across the globe. What are the key differences?
Location: Inland waterways are rivers and canals winding through landscapes, while oceanic waterways are the wide-open expanses of oceans and seas. Imagine exploring a national park versus sailing across the Pacific!
Trade: Most inland waterways facilitate domestic trade, carrying goods within a country or a land mass. Oceanic waterways almost always enable international trade, connecting different countries and continents. Think crude oil from the middle east arriving in Europe via oceans versus coal or grain moving down a river.
Vessel size: Due to shallower waters and narrower passages, inland waterways use smaller vessels (barges). Oceans enable giant cargo ships and tankers, navigating deep waters and open routes.
Challenges: Each comes with its own set of challenges. Inland waterways face seasonal variations in water levels and may require lock systems to climb hills. Oceans face unpredictable weather patterns and vast distances.
Regulations: Regulations vary depending on location and purpose. Inland waterways usually fall under national regulations, while international agreements and maritime law govern oceanic waterways.
Ultimately, both inland and oceanic waterways play particular roles in trade. While they differ in location, trade scope, and challenges, they share the power to connect people and economies across large distances.

The Role of Trucking in Inland Transportation
Trucking plays a crucial role in moving goods from one place to another within a country. Imagine a world where trucks didn't exist; it would be challenging to get the things we need every day, like food, clothes, and gadgets. Trucks are like the unsung heroes of transportation, quietly working behind the scenes to make sure our daily lives run smoothly.
When we talk about inland transportation, we mean the movement of goods within a country, not involving travel across oceans. Trucks are the go-to choice for this task because they can travel on roads and reach even the most remote areas. They are like modern-day packhorses, carrying everything from fresh produce to electronics.
One significant advantage of trucking is its flexibility. Trucks can go where trains and planes can't, making them the ideal choice for delivering goods to small towns or rural areas. This flexibility also means that trucks can adapt to changing needs and unforeseen circumstances. If there's a sudden demand for a particular product in a certain area, trucks can quickly respond and deliver the goods.

Taylor Bachrach will be home for Christmas — he hopes. On Sunday, the NDP transportation critic and MP for the riding of Skeena-Bulkley Valley, plans to leave the House of Commons and start a series of train rides that will begin in Toronto and end more than 4,500 kilometres west in his hometown of Smithers, B.C. — about 200 kilometres inland from B.C.'s north coast. That journey could be complicated by the fact that passenger trains in Canada are often delayed when they have to give right of way to cargo traffic travelling on the same tracks. And that's exactly the point: Bachrach's journey is part of a quest to build support for a bill he introduced in Parliament this week. The Rail Passenger Priority Act calls for the Canada Transportation Act to be amended so that any time a passenger and cargo train want to use the same rail line, the passenger train gets priority.

Primarily airborne sophonts hailing from the low-gravity planet of Hanidias, the Arrows are one of the oldest species in the Zhagaviit Galactic Community.
___
Introducing Arrows officially! These guys are the revised version of my older spec bio species, the Angelum. They've since undergone a lot of changes. Further information below!
Before I begin, I would like to make some things clear. A lot of the lore in the old Angelum info post is now irrelevant. Here are the revisions:
The Sacrazoa, Thronalia and Seraphae subtypes do not exist. Additionally, there is no 'Original Angelum'.
Previously I stated that the entirety of the population was genetically modified, but I've retconned this to only a select few individuals.
The only Genizix-touched Arrows are the Higher Arrows, which I will delve into later.
Lifepods do not exist.
Rather than communicate telepathically, the Arrows communicate with chemical signalling/pheromones.
Now that that's out of the way, time for some fresh new lore!
___________________
Arrows spend a good amount of time floating in the air. They possess a specialised 'gas bladder' which they can inflate and deflate to control their position, slightly similar to how a fish controls its buoyancy in the water.
They do not have the same level of agility as a bird or other winged creatures, their lack of powered flight making them significantly slower. However, they can change direction, dive quickly, land, and often take advantage of air currents and wind to increase speed.
Arrows feed on floating 'aeroplankton' which thrive in the atmosphere of their planet. Concentrations of these microscopic lifeforms are farmed in enormous quantities. Arrow's feeding tendrils are typically only deployed when they are eating; the aeroplankton is absorbed into the tendrils and nutrients are transported upwards to the main hub. However, they can also be deployed for courtship displays (especially for the males) and dancing.
Arrows, in the past, were the target of many predators. They were mainly concerned with attacks from other smaller, faster, flying organisms. To combat this, their five eyes aided in a wide peripheral vision enabling them to spot trouble quickly. In addition, they evolved countershading in order to camouflage with the dark sea below and the cloudy sky above. Males sport a more contrasting palette, clearly outlining them against the sky, but those who were able to survive indicated a viable choice for a mate.
Nowadays, with safer areas, infrastructure and impressive technology, predators are no longer a threat.
There are four main ethnic groups on Hanidias; namely Cursors, Needles, Indicators and Darts. Cursors and Needles mainly reside in the skies above the open ocean and cliff sides. Indicators make their home in the icy Northern and Southern poles, and Darts above the brackish river water further inland. However, all Arrows are very widespread.

This is just an introductory post - there's still a lot to say about these fellas - but i'll leave it there for now. As always, asks are welcome!
