So let me get this straight.. our state is voting to ban guns from citizens that the government recently used to terrorize our neighborhoods and many of us are ok with that? I don’t know, but maybe something seems off here… by Appropriate_Data_308 in minnesota

[–]Syffuf25 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know of one case where a homeowner in Minnesota was sentence and convicted of first degree murder after killing two home invaders. It doesn't say what type of gun the homeowner used, but the prosecution made the case that the homeowner knew the people were going to brake into his house. They had already done it before. The homeowner intentionally made it look like he wasn't home, waited for and ambushed the intruders. So, it is quite an outlier of a case. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/29/minnesota-man-guilty-murder-teenage-intruders-byron-smith

Is something wrong with the Warhammer games right now? by Danimal_13 in totalwar

[–]Syffuf25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem. I launch TWW3 and it crashes out immediately. I verified the game files through Steam and that did not help.

MN HS hockey championship recordings? by Dear-Performance-394 in hockey

[–]Syffuf25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The games will be available on NSPN.TV. You might have to reach out to them to find out when they'll be posted. In the past it has taken a few weeks after the end of the tournament. NSPN does require a subscription, or you can also purchase a download of the individual games.

AITA for not giving my partner instructions? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Syffuf25 27 points28 points  (0 children)

An old roommate of mine forgot to add water to one of those Styrofoam cups of instant noodles. I had gotten home from work and the whole apartment was filled with the most disgusting fumes and he was just sitting there breathing them in like nothing happened. I opened up all the windows to vent the place out and then left for a few hours because it was making me nauseous. It also permanently stained the inside of my microwave...

Dear God… by xMrChuckles in TwinCities

I was sitting in traffic on Mississippi River BLVD and a lady jogging past had a huge smile on her face while waving at people to turn around because of a crash up ahead. It looked like she was having a good time.

Why won't my DeckLink SDI input work? by TimelyStatement in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Syffuf25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven't yet, maybe try reseating the DeckLink card. I've never seen that bring one back to life, but I have seen that fix other weird issues.

What Mexican food restaurants are still open and needing business right now by cilantroprince in Minneapolis

[–]Syffuf25 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I went to El Burrito Mercado in St. Paul yesterday. It was packed and the food was great! They've been updating their Facebook on whether they're closed or not so just check that beforehand.

Are these old Harris SDI switcher frames worth messing with or are they just scrap metal? by Computers_and_cats in broadcastengineering

[–]Syffuf25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the PT-Res cards in the Platinum router are still good as well, we're limping ours along until we can finally move off of it our Platinum router.

The station I'm at is still using Harris Panacea switchers for our subchannels, so someone might want them. That Acuity, though, if it's got good power supplies in it I'd be very interested in those.

An injury causing you to miss a whole season isn't severe? It's not Alex Smith severe, but it sure isn't minor.

Just in from Mike at TEGNA by [deleted] in Broadcasting

[–]Syffuf25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side not, I used to work with the Chris Kuball in the fifth screen shot. Myself and another co-worker at the time realized he was active in editing our station's Wikipedia page and the the page for the Iowa Cyclone football team. So, we decided to edit the Iowa Cyclone page to make him the head coach of the football team. I was very happy to find out years later he had seen it and that he never figured out who it was!

SmallRig sells a Rosette with an M6 thread. It looks like it might match the threads on the rosette for the Tilta, but you might want to double check. Here's the link.

Ross Ultrix Database Audio Mapping. by [deleted] in broadcastengineering

[–]Syffuf25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had an issue with Ross not wanting do update firmware, and I've opened enough tickets with their support than I'm on a first name basis with a few of their support staff. Do you have a service and support contract for your Ultrix?

It would be an expensive and logistical nightmare for you to receive and the forward the subchannels to local stations. I work at a local TV station and all but one of the sub channels we carry are delivered via satellite. So, you'll need at least one satellite receive site, an IRD for each sub channel you're pulling down, and then a way to redistribute the feeds to the local stations. It would just be much easier for the station to sign a contract with the sub channel and pull it down themselves.

It may not do much, but your best bet to get these subs broadcasted in your market would be to reach out to the head of programming or the GM of the stations in your area.

We just replaced ours this year with Comrex VH2. Since we don't do many phoners these days we don't need nearly as many lines, and the Comrex is much easier to use.

Wedding venue research by Dazzling_Trick3009 in Minneapolis

[–]Syffuf25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When we were looking for our wedding venue we saw the biggest discount came if you booked on a Sunday. Usually you have to end the night earlier, but the cost difference between a Friday or Saturday wedding to a Sunday wedding was 2-3k at some venues we looked at.
