"What's a supply chain?"
This one time, I'm giving the OSG the benefit of the doubt. He said "supply chains." Of course, the term was quite familiar to me as an electrical engineer, but when exactly did it enter the national lexicon?RTH10260 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 12:18 pmDr. Ken wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 9:11 am https://twitter.com/acnewsitics/status/ ... 0107610322

THe question is - what is "supply change" - he did not even find the correct term when speaking![]()

I kind of like her music, as pop music goes, but Folklore is just a damn good album, IMO. Yes, she writes or co-writes all of her own music. Several of her co-writers have talked about the process and think she's one of the best songwriters on the planet. There are videos. It's so well documented that I don't understand how it's even a question.Foggy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 10:26 am I love Taylor Swift. Here's the evidence that she is a decent, polite, talented, 34 year old woman in a room of complete strangers. She got where she is through damned hard work, and through love. I hate her music, but that's okay. Listen to what she says between the tracks, about her life. I don't disagree with that Irish dude much, but I think she writes her own music. Which, admittedly, is dumb music, but ya can't argue with success.

Other than that, all signs point to her being a nice person that's never let all this fame and fortune go to her head too much. Remember she was only 16 when her first album came out and was only 20 when she won her first album of the year, so you might expect her to get a little wild and demanding, yet you never really hear anything about that. You'd think somebody would have talked in the last 18 years if she was a raging jerk all the time. Instead you learn that she's been quietly donating larges sums of money to food banks wherever she has a concert, or sends money to help when some town has been devastated by a storm and randomly drops in on unsuspecting fans when she gets wind they're having a special day. SHE has never said a single thing about it though. Considering the fact that she lives her life under a microscope, that all of her relationships and breakups are inescapably public and that she's had more stalkers than all the horror movies combined, she seems surprisingly well adjusted.
As for her 4th Album of the Year award, good for her. Personally, I think Miley's "Endless Summer Vacation" was the better album of the two by a small margin but I won't quibble. (I also think Miley has a more versatile and talented voice, but that's another topic by itself.)
Oh, and as for all the bitching about her carbon footprint from flying on a personal jet, can you imagine the pandemonium it would cause and the security required if she tried to fly commercial? Give me a break.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to pick on Suranis, but I think he's wrong. There's been speculation for a long time by people who don't like her for one reason or another that she doesn't write her own songs. As far as I know there's never been a shred of credible proof and tons of evidence to the contrary. I once saw a comment that really summed it up well. Nearly all the songs she writes are about her life. Who, exactly, is more qualified than her to come up with the ideas and lyrics for these songs?W.

IIRC the term came into use with the Japanese invention of just-in-time production where a stable supply chain was mandatory replacing in-house stock at the manufacturing plant.much ado wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:13 pm Google's Ngram Viewer shows when 'supply chain' came to be used. It looks like it was in common use before 2000. If the date range is restricted to 1990, you can see when 'supply chain' overtook similar phrases like 'chain of supply' and 'supply channel' by the early 1980s. 'supply channel', which might be a slightly different concept, was used starting in the mid-1800s.

Yep, as an intern in the 90's (5 summers) and a young engineer until just after 9/11, I worked in the Automotive/Industrial division at a major A/E firm. Toyota was one of the accounts I worked on, where I was introduced to the concept. By the time I was laid off, all the US firms had shifted over as well (I worked on accounts with all of the Big 3). We had meetings just to learn all the new jargon.RTH10260 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 6:39 pmIIRC the term came into use with the Japanese invention of just-in-time production where a stable supply chain was mandatory replacing in-house stock at the manufacturing plant.much ado wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:13 pm Google's Ngram Viewer shows when 'supply chain' came to be used.

Yeah - Teh Donald speaks magick, like when declassifying secrets. Fun fact: there are treaties to be taken into account when closing the border. Also too, where will he get all the avocados from when not from Mexico. Also too, how does he think he locks down those holes in his magnificient deficient border wall? He needs the change of laws to set up further barriers pay for extra positions in Border Patrol (those that would be in the current draft). Where will he steal from the Congress approved budget to redirect to build the Chinese Wall in the South?
