It honestly always seemed silly to me. Unless I told the helmsman to wait for some reason, they should just go as soon as they’re ready. Why wait an extra moment just for me to say “go”?
That said, if it was some kind of required protocall, I’d pick a different silly term each time. Like “Banana Bread”, “Pencil”, or “Fuck off”.
"A lot of the top earners want to be part of the solution,” the two-time Oscar winner told Deadline. “We’ve offered to remove the cap on dues, which would bring over $50 million to the union annually. Well over $150 million over the next three years. We think it’s fair for us to pay more into the union. We also are suggesting a bottom-up residual structure — meaning the top of the call sheet would be the last to collect residuals, not the first. These negotiations will be ongoing, but we wanted to show that we’re all in this together and find ways to help close the gap on actors getting paid.”
That’s really great actually. It isn’t about helping the studios end the strike sooner. It’s about helping making the union stronger. And ensuring those need residuals more, get them.
In the world of server stability, a period as short as 7 days is extremely short. And only 99,7 in such a short time is quite bad. That suggests it’ll go down for a total of 30min every week.
