Everywhere except the most densely populated areas there isn’t enough charging available.

The difference between me an Henry Cavil. Is that he dealt with depression and a dead end career with sit ups. Where as I took up sausage making.

Also he was better looking and more talented to begin with. But if I had done those sit ups....

I’m not so sure that it’s a guilt by association thing, or that connected to Simu’s comments.

Thing is Shang-Chi seems to have become a sticking point for China with Marvel way before you even had anyone cast. They were apparently blocked from including a post credit scene teasing it in China, even when they offered…

I just think it’s a bit of an under sung reason from the growing influx of East and South East Asian performers and creatives into the US and European industries.

The Chinese market is increasingly restricted, and increasingly risky.

Yup that’s about what I understand of the situation.

I am a little surprised that it’s Black Widow and Shang-Chi that got dropped from the schedule. End Game had time travel, and I was under the impression that that was strictly forbidden. 

Yeah the Hong Kong protests and the subsequent crack down and dismantling of Hong Kong semi-independence kicked off/came to a head in 2019. Weird with regards to celebrities visible out side of China has escalated heavily since then.

Hey now. It sounds like you think the world may revolve around these different persecuted minorities.

The world revolves around me. A straight, white, cis dude in his mid 30's. Everyone needs to stop talking about serious societal problems. I have yet to be handed my executive salaried, no show job or permanent…

Well for one Michelle Yeoh is Malaysian, and made her name in the Hong Kong movie business. Both of which are kinda no bueno as goes China right now.

Shang Chi has not be released in China.

For scungilli it might make sense to be more specific.

Worse those pronged ice picks will break pretty easy. Sending those usually replaceable tines flying. Into faces or drinks.

Most people won’t be chipping down an ice block at home. And if your bag of ice is frozen together you can just drop it on the floor a couple of times.

Professionally these are mostly used to chip…

That’s predominantly something comes out of the scotch scene. And it’s less and less common. I see more pushback on the idea these days, “ice bad” is increasingly an old man stumping point.

This is a little bit why you are starting to see more over proof and barrel strength whiskeys. 80 proof, historically anyway, was…

I think one of the central problems with capsules is that the integrated strainer is balls. It’s messy, doesn’t strain well. And the way it’s positioned is intensely awkward. They tend to be kind tippy and just weird to handle.

Yeah that is a pittance. For it to take so little these guys had to have had absolutely nothing to go one. They probably spent more than that on court fees and like lunches for their lawyers. 

The Pro screen is a professional grade reference monitor. It’s not quite up there spec wise with industry standard ones used for shit like film production. But apparently well within the wheelhouse for photo, design and print work.

I doubt this is about a “Cheaper Apple Display” if true. Those screens in the all in ones aren’t the same grade of monitor as the XDR screen. And an upgraded version of that is not likely to be any cheaper.

The Pro display is basically a reference grade studio monitor, for surprisingly cheap.

Have a PR team that actually knows what the hell is going on. Not reduce minority cast members role’s in response to the shit storm. Actually making statements condemning it, which they mostly didn’t do.

Hell with Tran it sounds like no one from Disney or Lucasfilm even spared a kind word to her, and she didn’t know…

I high-key wish someone would buy me a smoking gun

I get that Cocktail Kingdom is fun. But most of what they sell can be found in identical format for a bit cheaper elsewhere. The popularity of Cocktail Kingdom’s stuff, and the Japanese brands they carry gives a lot of lay people the mistaken impression that these things are only available from them. Or are a recent…

That shaker looks like it’s just a cobbler with bells and whistles. With all the inherent issues of a cobbler.

“Purists”, nards and assorted professionals hate those things. Discerning know it alls are all about the 2 piece set of shaker tins. Basically a Boston with better ergonomics and function. Which suits me…
