Who the hell knows. He claims he was rehearsing the scene, which seems plausible. The scene being filmed would have resulted in the same injury and death, so cameras rolling doesn't seem to be an important aspect.

A better questions would be why TF the industry as a whole allows people in the path of the barrel, why they insist on using firearms with blanks, and why acting staff aren't given training on any weapon they will handle so they know how to properly inspect them.

No.

Instead of investment advice, I'll just say never forget how hard you had it, what it was like to get minimum wage, and remember there are always hard workers being paid less then you that also deserve a shot. You did the work, be proud of what you've achieved. But probably don't get into specifics with family, people get weird about money.

I'd flip the share of liability, personally. The primary liable party is the armorer since it's their actual job to handle these things. But Baldwin shares in liability IMO because of the negligence of not verifying the state of the firearm. Especially after he knew others had used it for firing real rounds.

The whole thing is just sloppy as hell and highlights to me why regulations need to be in place, or movies need to let go of the gun firing bullshit. Every god damned thing is done in CG now, they can't afford muzzle flash suddenly?

While everybody else is seeing this for the absurd, ignorant, revisionist history horse shit that it is, I choose to see this as an example of how women are equal to men. Nikki has single handedly proven that women can be just as stupid as any man carrying water for the white supremacists.

You know what? In that context, I guess I am stunned.

Stunning to who, at this point? Nobody should be stunned by any of this.

Samoa and American Samoa are two different places. Samoa is an internationally recognized nation whereas American Samoa is a US territory. So in this case asking what Samoa wants is equivalent to asking what China wants to happen to Taiwan.

By contrast Puerto Rico

Puerto Ricans are considered US citizens, whereas people from American Samoa not born on a US military base are NOT US citizens. Because the territory is messy, and the politics are complex, because the history is messy and complex. You can thank Germany and the US for that between Samoa and American Samoa.

You are really simplifying the ROC vs PRC situation and leaving out a mountain of important context here.

Are you implying Taiwan isn’t already fully autonomous?

Implying? I'm not implying anything. But for clarity's sake I'll say very clearly that Taiwan was part of China, China still considers Taiwan part of China, and Taiwan disputes this. Largely because the ROC leadership fled mainland China to Taiwan, and after the 1980s largely because of their economic power.

In either case, my comparison seems fine still. In fact, if you go back to the Samoan Civil War, my example works even better than you realized. What happens if Samoa says they still control American Samoa and they want their islands back? Pretty much the same situation as PRC vs ROC, but 55 years earlier.

It would be like someone saying they support American Samoa independence. You'd basically be telling the US that its territories should be independent nations, which the UN recognizes as "a dick move".

What happens if Taiwan attempts full autonomy or China attempts full control might be a different story, though. We'll have to see how trade is going at that point.

Literally no other manufacturer in the area is forecasting delays, and all of them have commented as much. Tesla doesn't have the demand for the US, Chinese, German, AND Texas factory,. It's just that simple. So they're stopping production to let consumption catch up, after several quarters in a row of decreasing prices to increase demand.

Tesla famously removed RADAR and Ultrasonics from their cars two years ago in response to supply-chain disruptions

Yet that wasn't the excuse they gave, which means they'll happily lie about their motivations even when they're clear.

due to the union issues

That and the lack of consumer demand in markets already saturated by them. Much like when they said the Chinese factory would only ever serve the Chinese market, and then started selling China production units in Europe. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, which other vehicle manufacturers are doing the same? Because my bet is this is in response to a lack of demand and a glut of capacity.

Yeah. He's a liar. Everyone knew that already. Now call it Twitter or Xitter (shitter), none of this ExTwitter crap.

Exactly. Christie can tell a piece of crap because he is a piece of crap.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Only the most gullible rubes have alarms raised. Every sensible person has already moved on and is ignoring the clown show. Stop using that shit.

Whenever a government or government agency announces a successful exploit, I presume they've already exhausted it and moved on to another one that won't be patched or publicly divulged for many years.

Used to be, but now she's got to get non-white conservatives. The GOP's worst nightmares have come true.

Putting aside the inaccuracies about NRA, just because it's their organization doesn't make embezzlement and misappropriation of funds less of a crime. You can't take donations on a fraudulent basis, and you can't be a tax free organization without following the rules.

Space Karen did a thing? What a surprise.

Everyone I knew at SpaceX that was worth a damn left years ago, so, maybe the rest of them should take the hint and leave too.
