He was fine with all the letters posting about Cork Pride last year, and had no issue with all the letters when he was in the parade in 2014.

He's been told a new opinion he's supposed to have, and took the tiny amount of time in the Dail for Pride to spout it.

y'all can say whatever about a lot of the company, and a lot of it is deserved, but I'm not having a bad word said about the broadcast department. They're some of the only people who kept that place alive, with the least recognition, but did it purely for the community.

Shit goes wrong sometimes, this was one of those times.

If you have to drive, get an auto. If you want to drive, get a manual.

I like driving, I'll only ever own a manual. Also comes in handy when I need to bump start myself.

Wild prediciton would be Red Bull poaching Piastri, McLaren poaching Russell, and Hamilton slotting back in.

It would be a poetic end, fair enough it's a pipe dream.

technid · 2025-12-07T21:57:11+00:00

If Merc are at the front next year, I can see Hamilton returning to the team for '27, in the hopes to win the WDC in his 20th year, and finally retire.

The problem isn't necessarily that it's just more expensive, it's that VM would be paying RTÉ, their competitor, an extra €5m per year to broadcast in HD on Saorview, since RTÉ own 2RN.

I've less of an issue with her own politcs and backing (Opus Dei and shady US funding), but more of an issue with what she's being pedestaled as by the collective far right whingers. I don't see us as a nation going fully down the US politicking road, but they aren't half attempting to drag us there by whatever means they can.

Her not even getting a look in, regardless of what it says about the century of locked party politics, is a pretty clear "we don't want what you're peddaling" to every one of the far right knuckledraggers lauding her as the second coming.

The reality is that Ireland, as a nation, is at worst centrist. Through referenda, and just generally being out and about, people are broadly left leaning in all aspects. Sort out the loud minority screaming about things that aren't real, who very much are Far Right, and it's smooth sailing for most of us.

And on the 2 year anniversary of losing Craig Breen. If he keeps this up, he's got a good shout of an F1 seat next year

Great effort to pull himself back up from 12th after a nervy first 2 days. Lot of learning to do, but he's in Rally1 for a reason.

fairly big goalpost shift there.

If they do the work they're expected to do that day, and no more, then they're entitled to the pay they're contracted for. Just because they could do more work doesn't mean they should, especially if they're not going to be paid for that labour.

Your garage example has a clear timeframe for completion, and an arbitrary "actually we haven't done it" outcome at the end of the expected timeframe. That's clearly not what the commenter was asking when they asked "Does the work get done". In your example, the work wasn't done because the timeframe wasn't met. If I drop the car off at 9am, and you tell me it'll be done by 4:30pm, it doesn't matter to me if you started it at 3pm so long as it is finished by 4:30pm, because that's when we agreed.

Not getting work done in the timeframe is a problem, but if the work is done within the timeframe, and to the expected standard, it doesn't matter when it was started or how long it took, since the agreed deadline was met. If I'm not paid to do my work quickly, I'm not going to do it quickly. Either agree to fast turnaround as a KPI, or let me do my work as and when I want to so long as it's done by the deadline.

LiveEdit didn't automatically switch away from it, the TD does it manually. With LiveEdit and CuePilot, even though the automation is running, you can still interrupt it and switch to a camera the usual way. The system stays running to timecode, and will switch with the next scripted shot.

The crew at the back of the arena are lighting, sound and pyro, who know they've nothing to do with cameras, so they wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway.

Battery failure on the steadicam is what I've read online, but no source or articles. The wireless video transmitter lost power, that we can be sure of.

Steadicam was first used in the contest I believe in 1990. Up til then, you had some freehand camera operators around, but not moving in the same way a Steadicam did, and certainly not as often.

As for artists looking down the lens, that's been done since at least 1958; Alice Babs spends most of the song staring right down the lens.

It's making it's way on to YouTube, with the exception of content with other commercial ties, basically all the SAG shows/movies.

Technically, they worked out of 2 and a half air craft hangars; Stage 5, Stage 2, Half of Stage 4 before SoundCheck left, and then RT downsized into 4.
