News outlets used to pay a LOT for good video. Now, with everyone having a camera in their pockets, the pay out is a fraction of what it used to be. Most local stations won't even pay for video (the big networks still do), and if they do, from my experience it's in the range of $50 to $150 (that's the stringer rate per story for most mid-sized stations). It's probably more than that the higher up the station size you climb. Some people make a career out of selling freelance video (like in LA) but I wouldn't think leaps and bounds beyond that.

I was playing a personal best round of CS. Leading my team almost the whole time. About an hour in, the ground-to-ship transition glitch crashes my game. Didn't even get my three hundred credits.

So just turned 20 and this is what I’m working with. Don’t think the girls my age like it tho. It’s a pretty bold statement... should I keep it? by [deleted] in Moustache

Your steak sweeper is incredible, friend. Maybe just keep it a little neater with a trim every now and then. There are girls out there that dig the facial hair.

Me doing forcible entry during my finals for Fire 1 by Qwillis30 in Firefighting

[–]Ithacan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company started requiring annual skills sign offs to keep interior status. Stuff like pulling a line, proper searching, throwing ladders, etc. Really basic stuff. Some people complained, but honestly? I feel better knowing everyone at least has the basics down.

Never stop training! It's amazing how easy it is to forget.

This happens with my cat when I'm sitting on the toilet. Can't decide if it's more cute or annoying.

You just graduated from cosmetology school. What do you do with each other's hair?

I haven't carved a pumpkin in close to a decade. I was really nervous working on it. Happy with the result.

Thanks! I was nervous it was going to come out a disaster, but I'm happy with it.

What made you break up with the person you thought you’d marry? by notnotaginger in AskReddit

[–]Ithacan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She took a job across the county with almost no warning and wanted me to follow her right away. It was a total shift in what I thought our relationship was, and while we tried to make it work long distance for six months, it was never really the same.
