They are shipped on shrink wrapped pallets in boxes. The thing is, your local Walmart/target/airport shop doesn’t need 1500 copies of the latest Patterson novel, they stock a few of each current book in store. Meaning that pallet gets opened up at a hub warehouse and 2-3 books are going to 2-300 different stores along with whatever else has been purchased that week to restock the shelf. That book passes though a lot of hands before you buy it at the register

Used to work in a warehouse that did exactly this, can confirm drove a forklift loading pallets of books on trucks and “humidity control” meant closing the bay doors that didn’t have trailers backed in so the snow wouldn’t blow inside.

Same but reversed in the SLC area, mountains mean East. Having lived on both sides, West is definitely better

Sisko/Bell is not afraid of a little civil disobedience either

Right down to the rally at MSG, next comes the night of long knives

Damnit! I was looking for evil goatees and it’s the wispy combover this whole time

If anyone understands the importance of combating facism, it’s the Bajoran

Vive la résistance

This is really starting to feel like the mirror universe, is there a rift in space nearby somewhere

Thanks for alerting me to the typo. Also I’m posting all this from Voyager, which is great. Keep up the good work 👍

Autocorrect got me, not Lamar. Levar Burton hosted a show called Reading Rainbow and also played chief engineer Geordie La Forge in Star Trek

Pretty sure Geordie and Levar from RR agree on this.

As it was the same on Reddit last cycle

Yeah I should have said where we are on the timeline, we live in interesting times unfortunately

I wish I lived to see Cochrans first warp test but it’s the Bell riots for us instead. Fuck I hate this timeline

I was about to say it would just work like the old ski ramp decks but the fans have to be pushing air down sooo

E) Although, since it’s all Stark tech, there’s no reason it can’t have thrusters that activate when that fan is switched directions to give the jets a boost of lift like a bird riding a thermal. That could make for a pretty badass takeoff scene

Goddamnit. Dear world, some of us tried but there’s too much bullshit. This is extremely depressing and I fear for all my friends who aren’t straight white “regular” people.

What the fuck is wrong with people

I don’t think it was ever a true democracy, we’re just cycling back to the white male landowner as the only vote being counted as the norm. Another rally at MSG, all the racist rhetoric, all the dog whistles are just regular shouting now

I’m one generation away from being able to get an Irish passport and boy do I hate that right now

We’re going back to child labor in factories and brood mares barefoot and pregnant. Trans and brown folks are going to have a real bad time. I’m a white dude and even I’m afraid of what’s going to happen
