shipment

Read a random definition: instrument of crime

A quick definition of shipment:

Shipment: When things need to be sent from one place to another, we call it a shipment. This can include anything from toys to clothes to food. The shipment process involves giving the things to a carrier, who will then transport them to their destination. Once the carrier has the things, they will give the sender a bill of lading, which is like a receipt. The things that are being sent are also called a shipment.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Shipment refers to the process of transporting goods from one place to another. It involves delivering goods to a carrier and issuing a bill of lading. It can also refer to the goods that are being transported.

Examples:

  • When a company sends a package to a customer, it is considered a shipment.
  • A manufacturer ships a large order of products to a distributor.
  • A farmer ships a truckload of produce to a grocery store.

The examples illustrate how shipment involves the transportation of goods from one place to another. In each example, goods are being delivered to a carrier and a bill of lading is issued to document the shipment. The goods being transported can vary from small packages to large truckloads of products.

@llama: This was the best explanation that I read for it: https://samharris.substack.com/p/the-reckoning

@GapingVariousTurkey: same bro. im not worried cause yolo, but i think an honest talk with each applicable school will allow them to give leeway

But, yeah, I think many people were shocked
any UK law students?
18:49
@texaslawhopefully: when I have some time i will read, thanks fren. Regardless of whichever of the two [T or H] are in the WH, I truly believe expectations will be looked back on as over worried.

@thanatologist: Kentucky?

@llama: I don't know man, maybe I've been reading way too much news but I'm worried in a way I wasn't with Biden, or would've been with Harris
18:53
@texaslawhopefully: looking back, the Rs were freaking out saying Biden was going to end the country, and the Ds were freaking out during DJTs 1st term. Neither did exceptionally bad or good, IMHO. At the end of the day, the rest of the GOV (Judaical and Congress) really put a damper on grandiose executive plans. Finally, we all know Donnie is a talker: he anchors (ie tarrifs), he talks shit, he says he will do X and never does. news eats that shit up, but I think most will not ever come to pass

I really think it's a lot of political theater right now. I think a huge percentage of these EO's are just going to be shot down.

the news sells fear. that is their product (hence why u see COPD, heart meds, stress/ antidepressants adverts during primtime). We know trump has a big mouth, and when he opens it, he spews nonsense which gets funneled into ur ears- ratings skyrocket.
18:56
not COPD. my bad ^
dem messaging is lightyears behind MAGA messaging, part of this can be blamed on foreign governments boosting the MAGA party to destabilize the country, but the democrat old guard is so far behind MAGA strategy
18:57
@Dkk: exactly.
dems need to give way to modern leftists like AOC and bernie
18:58
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: AOC is my crushhhh
Dkk

It's amazing cus in 2008/2012 people were even wondering if the Republican party was still going to be a thing and then yeah, MAGA just took over.
but unfortunately the left purity tests all of its members to death, for the left their candidates have to be perfect, for the right their candidates are basically forgiven for anything. it makes it a hard sell for upcoming talent to attach to the left wing when they will cancel their politicians for any perceivable social slight
texaslawhopefully
18:59
Yeah, unfortunately that happened in part with Harris and the far-Left
19:00
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: see with takes like that, it is no wonder how you are called Knowledgeable Wasp
ie a lot of the left didnt vote for harris because they thought biden was too soft on israel for the I/P situation. but now they have trump who will literally hand netanyahu bombs to genocide palestinians
texaslawhopefully
19:01
And even on that issue, though, I thought Biden was very moderate, whereas the far-Left just had unrealistic expectations of where he was going to end up
yeah absolutely, and our modern left doesn't appreciate that if they eventually want their policies, their best bet is incremental progress, not a perceived revolution

So if you are 19, Trump won his first election when you were like 11. What were you doing at 11?
Dkk

This is just interesting for me to think about.
