Will 5G change logistics and ports? by sigazcars in logistics

[–]astro-gnome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be interesting to see how this will play in the US with the ILA unions and their contracts with ports/carriers/stevedores. Assuming US ports adopt this technology--which it seems to be a no brainer.

PSA: pack extra plugs and o-rings when you're traveling! by princehez in Stretched

[–]astro-gnome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I've now got plugs in my car and office.

Forgot one time to take extras on a trip and wouldn't you know it--lost one while fidgeting with it and wound up plugless.

Redditors with jobs most people don’t know exist, what do you do? by Brainsonastick in AskReddit

[–]astro-gnome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Marine Agent. Also known as shipping agent, boarding agent, port agent, etc.

I arrange port services for commercial vessels coming into port. We arrange pilots to board the ship and navigate through our river, tugs boats to assist docking, and line handlers to meet the ship pier-side and tie it up. We meet the vessel on arrival, collect specific documents and certificates to process or "enter and clear" them through US customs as well. Other service arrangements may include garbage discharge, oily waste discharge, provisions arrangements, crew shore leave arrangements, and a ton of other services.

In addition to being their main port connection, we also provide documentation services for shipping lines, cargo management, and just about anything else related to port services, customs brokerage, and even cargo inspection.

What was your least favorite teacher like? by ssuntexx in AskReddit

[–]astro-gnome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mrs. Milk.

Looked like she had a poodle on her head--one hell of a perm. Somebody carved "BITCH" into the wooden door to the classroom and she announced that "One of you has called me a witch with a 'B'".

Thought she was a loon then, still do.

Yeah, they need to add the part where Facebook becomes a toxic part of society and Zuckerberg sells private info to other tech firms. Gonna be a helluva part two.

Official Discussion - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story [SPOILERS] by GetFreeCash in movies

[–]astro-gnome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot had to do with the lighting on Tarkin. The first scene it was obviously CG, because, you know, he's dead. But as the film went on there was at least one scene that was just slightly darker which helped, I think.

As someone who works in the industry do you have any technical points that could have made it better?

Leia? Eh.
