If they can do it for La Jetée, nothing will stop them

I can feel my "never buy Early Access games" mantra starting to weaken.

Very nice beer that doesn't get much distro outside of Norway (unlike their hazies, stouts and fruit stuff). This one is brewed specifically for Norwegian grocery/convenience stores since they have a hard ABV limit of 4.75%.

The head brewer since their founding is American. He knows what an American Red tastes like.

Chinese consumers rejected these products much more harshly than Americans did.

Similar situation to Lenovo and ThinkPad but more focused on the domestic market.

I mean, if anything this just shows the continued cultural cache the US possesses. Blue Bottle is a respected international brand. Luckin will use to either push it as an upmarket chain (killing Starbucks' one last domain in China) or flesh out its own drink line with the Blue Bottle branding.

These "craft" breweries brew a base wheat beer and dose extract for each of the flavorings. This one is probably just hawthorn. Bing tang hulu is a pretty common flavor for these beers. Jasmine green tea, peach oolong, and longjing are the other most common ones.

As an Oklahoma-bred dude who has lived in China for over a decade, don't overthink it. It's a country that's fairly used to tourists. As long as you figure out the apps before you go, it's easy.

Fair enough. Not sure if "cowards" or "assholes" works better. Can do both depending on the context. The whole point is "they could have stopped the pain whenever they wanted."

The attack line for Dems needs to be "Republicans in Congress knew this was illegal and could have stopped this bullshit immediately but they are captive to the rantings of a maniac."

Real China is so much more interesting and fascinating than the fantasy China they have in their heads. Team sports global politics is a real sign of a diminished imagination.

As someone who needs to use a VPN to even access the majority of the internet, I'm very familiar with this smug face. It doesn't mean anything besides your IP address being flagged as a VPN. Very annoying.

They both hit hard with the gasoline aromas.

Just use the trash cans in the convenience stores.

Hate to break it to you, but he's in character here as "Fomer Staff Writer Turned Big Shot"

The R4 here is an Android device, but apparently Android has some kind of issue with large amounts of files as well.

I've read that HibyOS has a 50000 song limit. Hard to find info on it. None of the reviewers seem to have large song libraries which I find kind of surprising. Stock iPods have a song limit as well, but you can just use the file directory on Rockbox. Not an option on these new DACs.

This thing still become buggy once you hit a certain song count? Seems to be the Achilles heel of pretty much every available DAP, even the Android ones. I'd love to move on from my iPod, but I like carrying my 70000 songs with me.

Ant's "puppets on a string" line from last year's playoffs is the best description I've heard so far.

The second-hand enterprise market here has been absolutely destroyed. 16TB drives went from 900 RMB to 2350 RMB in a year. I have two empty slots in my NAS that will probably stay that way for a while. Not looking forward to more responsible data hoarding.

Having each country's nom run through a national cinema organizations has historically been the award's biggest weakness. For many countries, this means political organizations deciding what film to nominate. Part of the reason China is almost never in the final 5.

Could be some guild shenanigans regarding No Other Choice. The Foreign Film cat has always been a shitshow though. Most voters don't watch all the films on the shortlist. Some don't watch any. It's better now after they expanded the voter roll, but still.

The IC is why I refuse to associate with the DSA. If the DSA takes any power, they will throw minorities and queer people under the bus just like all the dictators they support. They hate Trump because they wish the boot was on their foot instead.

Are all Taskmaster seasons good? Watched my first one, 19, and loved it but I only know like 10% of the other comedians when I look at the Wiki.

If you like the vibes of Marienbad, I do recommend diving into the work of Robbe-Grillet if you haven't already. Jealousy (novel) and Trans-Europ-Express (film) are good jumping off points.

Have you been to Golden Hill Park? A bunch of funny monkeys running around and some beautiful views. There's even a bus stop right there. If you have five full days, you might want to see if you can pop over to Shenzhen for a day or two.
