Why There are Now So Many Shortages (It's Not COVID)

spawnflagger says...

I agree with his points about shipping containers and Toyota, but gotta call BS about lumber - the warehouse is the forest, and those trees don't grow from nothing in 1 year, and not all lumber is treated, so why would a chlorine plant outage explain it?

How Overnight Shipping Works

newtboy says...

Hmmm. I thought in the early days they used commercial airlines, with special shipping containers in the cargo hold. Is that wrong?

I remember hearing that the who came up with FedEx got a bad grade in his business school class because the idea wasn't considered possible; the cost of entry is all of those facilities worldwide plus all of the airplanes or in other words pretty damn high; and then you have to turn all of that on at the same time; so if you're first you pretty much have a monopoly and can set really high prices; so the rewards are extremely high, but so are the costs and risks

The Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment film by ORNL 1969

newtboy says...

I recall something similar, low power medium heat mini-reactors that could not meltdown, on a tv science show a decade or more ago. They had a few small units (shipping container size) running a few buildings somewhere in Canada on an experimental basis, but I have no idea what came of the project.

I recently saw a contemporary video about how molten salt nuclear fission is much less risky in terms of meltdowns (not possible) and waste (much more manageable, and some waste products even being useful), and that this now seemingly abandoned method of nuclear energy might be the answer to many of our energy problems today. Does anyone know more about this? Is it a better alternative indeed? This video is a bit too technical for me, but I'd still like to think that this is a forgotten method of generating energy that might save us from completely wrecking the climate...

Chris Christie Attacks Libertarians, Supports Obama and Bush

Yogi says...

What a complete and utter moron. Good detective work is more effective than starting wars and creating more hatred, giving terrorists more support around the world. Ya know how many people in Yemen hated us before we started to Drone the shit out of their tiny villages? Can you guess how easy it was to kill just a few dozen people and turn our allies and in rabid American Hating psychos?

Bush and Obama have hurt us around the world (and Obama got a fucking Nobel Fucking Prize). There's going to be more and more hate, more and more attacks on us and our children because of them. Because we supported them and we didn't wake up.

I don't care what people thought or were told to believe on Sept. 12th. I care what they do, and what we did was barely anything good. We started stupid wars, we threatened we cracked down.

We even commissioned a study on how to prevent future 9/11s and what did we do with the information? FUCK ALL. You can get a nuclear device from an increasingly destabilization Pakistan, which is Obamas fault with him surging the war to shit in Afghanistan. Get your Nuclear device, wrap it in a bale of fucking Marijuana, and put it in a fucking shipping container to the USofA. It'll get here, not be inspected, be taken to a fucking hotel room in lower Manhattan, assembled by a scientist who's fucking child was blown up by a fucking drone, and detonated.

We don't care, we don't THINK, we just keep going. They're not protecting us, they're not even trying. It's up to us to remove THEM so we can get in people who represent US.

Where in the world are you? (Travel Talk Post)

spoco2 says...

Melbourne, Australia.
Grew up here, lived for a year and a half in England (Horsham and Aldershot) while I was 6/7
Came back here, was teased for my then British accent
Have been here ever since, with a brief period where everything was packed up and moved to California to work, but then work closed up shop, so came back to Australia without ever unpacking the shipping containers of stuff sent over... they just got put on another boat and sent back.

Fun times.

Cherry picking a Shipping Container FAIL!

rottenseed says...

That guy...hands in pocket, no hardhat, not watching the load. Walks, pretty much, right UNDER the fucking load. That guy sucks. He'd be fired in a second if he worked on a job-site here.>> ^BicycleRepairMan:

>> ^Enzoblue:
What makes this good is that they did everything right and it still went wrong. Shit happens.

Nope, he should have lowered the container immediatly after clearing the two towers, and before turning. There is no way that thing was made for driving or turning with the container that high. And that guy standing behind the lifter is driving me nuts, What the fuck was he doing there?, he provides a perfect distraction for the operator.
