亞馬遜在 Prime Video 和MGM影城裁員數百人

自從聖誕節週以來，我一直在觀看 Amazon Prime Video 上的電影。我發現，Amazon Prime Video有很多好電影。我最喜歡的是《去年聖誕節》。 得知亞馬遜將解僱其 Prime Video 和MGM影業部門的數百名員工，我感到很難過。負責監督這些部門的麥克·霍普金斯(Mike Hopkins)向員工發送了一份通知，告知他們裁員事宜。此次裁員是在該公司從 2022 年開始並持續到 2023 年的大規模裁員之後進行的，共有超過 27,000 名員工被解僱。 (1)  我祝福他們在2024年有好的工作機會。

I have been watching movies from Amazon Prime Video since the Christmas week. I found, there are lots of good movies. The most that I like is "Last Christmas". 

I am sad to hear that Amazon is letting go of hundreds of employees in its Prime Video and MGM Studios divisions. Mike Hopkins, who oversees those units, sent a note to staffers informing them of the job cuts. The cuts come after mass layoffs at the company that began in 2022 and extended through 2023, with more than 27,000 employees being let go. (1) Wish them good opportunities in 2024.

According to the news, Amazon continues to trim its headcount after a year of mass layoffs. Beginning at the end of 2022 and continuing through 2023, Amazon initiated the largest layoffs in its history, cutting more than 27,000 jobs across almost every area of the company. (1)

這就是聖誕節-令人振奮和溫馨的故事 (This Is Christmas) | Alfred Enoch | Harry Potter

這《這就是聖誕節》是我在聖誕節期间看的电影,亞馬遜 Prime的电影。故事發生在倫敦，他們每天搭火車去上班。 他們每天都會遇到同一群陌生人。 他們是互相認到對方的，卻從不交談或打個招呼。 但有一天，在聖誕節即將到來之際，男主角打破了旅行中不成文的規則，開始與火車上的陌生人交談，並邀請全車廂舉辦自己的聖誕派對。《這就是聖誕節》是令人振奮和溫馨的故事。

"This Is Christmas" follows Adam (Alfred Enoch) and Emma (Kaya Scodelario) as they make their daily commute from a village of Langton to London for work. Every day they share their journey with the same characters, but they all keep themselves to themselves. They never talk to each other, not even a HI. But then one day, a few days before Christmas, Adam breaks the unwritten rule of travel and starts talking to the strangers on the train, eventually he invites the whole carriage to hold their own Christmas party. It is an uplifting and heartwarming movie. This Is Christmas is available at Amazon Prime.

McDonald's Breakfast Items You Didn't Know Were Pre-Cooked

Based on this video, most of the McDonald's food are pre-cooked. Now, it explains why the tastes and texture of different items are so consistent at different McDonald's restaurants in the States. 

Here is a description for how breakfast eggs prepared from McDonald website:

Round Egg:

A USDA Grade A cracked into an ‘egg ring’ to get that iconic round shape for Egg McMuffin®.

Scrambled Eggs:

Scrambled eggs are made with liquid eggs that are cooked fresh on grills with real butter.

Folded Eggs:

Folded eggs, like the ones on a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit, are made with liquid eggs that are pre-cooked and folded before being flash frozen by McDonald's suppliers. Once in McDonald's kitchens, they’re prepared on the grill with real butter.

Sausage Burrito Eggs:

McDonald's suppliers pre-cook liquid eggs with ingredients that include sausage, tomatoes, green chilies, onions and seasonings before flash freezing them to help maintain their taste.
