So... a bunch of NFT grifters threw a party in Hong Kong this weekend and reportedly a bunch of attendees are now at risk of permanent eyesight damage because the promoters used unsafe lighting, and people are going to the ER...

not me watching miss hong kong live and seeing how a lot of them can’t even speak cantonese properly I don’t know if it makes me super critical but I thought for this sort of pageant where you’re judged on spoken responses you should at least be able to speak the language it’s conducted in with some fluency ??

Not only will new social distancing curbs crimp revenue for retailers and restaurants, a slashing of flights they rely on to bring everything from Australian cherries to Wagyu beef into the financial hub is set to raise costs and boost inflation.

Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., the city’s most connected airline, has canceled hundreds of flights. Cargo capacity could drop below one-fifth of pre-pandemic levels. Logistics costs may surge by 40% within three weeks. Importers expect the price of fruit to rise by 10%.

Amid fear of the omicron variant, the government has scrapped aircrew quarantine exemptions it was previously giving, forcing Cathay to cut cargo flights. The airline will operate only about 20% of its pre-pandemic capacity this month due to a lack of manpower. Passenger flights were also banned from eight countries, including the U.S., U.K. and Australia, further reducing cargo capacity.

the government is insane… driving cathay pacific out of business… forcing travellers to quarantine for 21 days while people who benefit the economy don’t have to quarantine as long… more people under the poverty line… widening income gap… killing democracy.. you can’t make this up

pork floss on plain congee … macaroni with ham … putting rice in any kind of soup … why do people spend hundreds on food at fancy restaurants when this is all you need to have a satisfying meal
