I remember there being no text or speech, some fire-extinguishers sprayed all over the place, someone hunting with a bow and arrow across an office desk.

It was in a step-by-step airliner-safety-card style of art.

First saw this about 10 years ago on some other site.

'Landlady' is the absolute correct choice.

From Wikipedia:

Cheung Cheun-Nam, known professionally as Yuen Qiu (Chinese: 元秋; born 19 April 1950), is a Hong Kong actress and martial artist. She is an expert of both Chinese martial arts and Beijing-opera skills, and was apprenticed at the Peking Opera School under the same master, Yu Jim-yuen, as Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung.

After being away from the Hong Kong film industry for nearly 20 years, she landed a role in Kung Fu Hustle only by chance. She was accompanying a junior woman fellow of the China Drama Academy at the audition but the director's eye was on her. It was reported that Stephen Chow convinced her to take on the role only after unremitting and persistent persuasion.[citation needed]

Yuen later appeared in the movie Kung Fu Mahjong, with Yuen Wah, and has been active in cinema since then. (20 more films)

Someone talk to me about Go (the board game). I'm in the process of learning it right now. in c/comicstrips@lemmy.world

Go / Wéiqí / Baduk is like the ocean, simple to understand near the shore, but unknowable and somewhat scary in it's greatest depths.

Games on a 9x9 board are faster and may help during early learning.

Tsumego are small contained Go puzzles, where there is one ideal solution to be found. (Gobandroid or similar)

There is a massive amount of knowledge at this website:

It is a humbling game. I know nothing about Go.

Exemployees of a company, what was your "fuck this shit I'm out moment"? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Early job delivering flowers in a work provided van. Late 90s.

Company is a one-man-band with me as second employee/driver. Vans 'maintained' by the owners wishy washy mate.

On a delivery run, driving down a hill toward a stop sign to cross a dual carriageway.

Brakes fail.

Quick engine braking down through the gears(column mounted) to first, and then pull the t-bar park brake to just pull up at the stop sign as two cars go past at 70kmh.

Call the owner, tell him brakes have failed, he says "no they didn't", I see red and say "yes they fucking did, I quit". I was seething.

A corner cutting brake bleed, leaving air in the lines almost had me in a car accident. Yeah, fuck those clowns.
