3/ & if we live near shipping corridors, pressure officials not to chase growth over the rights and health of folks who live near the corridors

(note I said our stuff is bound to be waste from the moment it's created, not moment it's purchased. see, e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jan/14/los-angeles-cargo-theft-union-pacific )

4/ "the container is in some sense both an epoch-making design object, & an imaginative opening. It begs us to look beyond or within the banality of the box, & outward into the myriad ways that circulatory systems become wounds on our lives & architectural landscapes"

2/ ofc since I don't work for Wirecutter, my conclusion is a good deal more dismal than "please buy as much as you want, just be a tiny bit more selective"

most of this stuff is headed quickly to a landfill from the moment it's created. we should all buy less, buy more secondhand, repair what we can

"Most people said they hadn’t really thought about where their stuff went after they sent it back"

I've been writing a little bit about "reverse logistics" & watched a pallet unboxing video last year for research...

We Bought a 450-Pound Mystery Pallet Packed With Returned Goods From Amazon and Beyond. Here’s What We Found Inside.

Here is some literal new shiny.

Our SPARC tokamak's donut-shaped vacuum vessel will hold a superhot plasma, the machine's fusion fuel. Here's how we got the first half of that vessel to our HQ in Devens, Massachusetts. This was a design, engineering, fabrication, and transportation feat.

In the past I lead and organized small teams if that's relevant for the job.

Motivating good communication in the team and asking people how they feel and what they need to do work and denying whatever empty jira ticket the boss created that morning thinking it's super obvious and lacks a description despite the guideline saying so. That sort of thing.

I'm pretty ok at orga / team stuff but I don't need it to be part of new job. Usually I only end up there by filling a power vacuum.

I think these parts already show a lot of what I can do / how I think.

I'm really content with 100 % #remotework

My current employer is just a walk away but we only meet up once per week to eat kebab. That office is a ghost town and #remote works quite fine for us. Some of my most important colleagues I work with every day I never met irl.

Currently working @ #Logistics but I feel like it never fell in love with it. I'm ok with writing logistics software but I'm really open for anything

#logistics and #transportation nerds, is there a resource that shows the major port to port routes? For example, I'd like to be able to understand what % of a given port's cargo arrives from which other ports. Thanks!
