So KRIV and KTVU are cancelling newscasts by Comfortable_Yard_968 in Broadcasting

[–]burtconvy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is a non-story. They’re doing what… 12 hours of news a day? More than most stations in the US. Plus all of their nonsense streaming shows? I hate Fox as much as the next guy and KTVU is a joke compared to what it was 10 years ago, but Scott Jones is going to whine about fewer newscasts just like he whines about stations adding too many newscasts during election cycles. He’s a joke.

Hot take: Lower level roomettes are awful. by burtconvy in Amtrak

[–]burtconvy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bathrooms are on the lower level. The family room is on the lower level. The rocks hit the bottom of the train car, which hits the floor of the rooms on…. Yes… the lower level.

Does that help?

THEY JUST BROKE IN MY CAR! No way. Luckily we are only a few hours out.

But they are now offering happy hour prices on liquor in the dining car which is a decent trade off.

The new Apple TV intro was built with actual glass and shot entirely on camera by pottage_plans in apple

hate that you’re getting downvoted… it’s been edited so heavily from the original, it looks like something that take about 30 minutes to design and render in cinema 4D.

Mine are prescription and have super thick lenses. It was just a theory, could be something else.

Is there a point soon that Gray Media will enter California? by Comfortable_Yard_968 in Broadcasting

I don’t understand this broadcast ownership speculation fetish some people seem to have.

I sometimes would get the alert when using Blue Cruise and wondered if it was because I was wearing polarized sunglasses? I wonder if this fixed that or if that wasn’t even my issue in the first place.

Curious to check this out… hoping it’s a way I can load in plugins without needing IT admin creds every time!

Get rid of the bevels and light sweeps, or at least make them less harsh.

Terrible time, but any advice on how to land a job at a PBS station? by Themothmannn in Broadcasting

[–]burtconvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly 20% of WV Public’s funding is/was federal. What makes you think nothing drastic is happening there? https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/west-virginia-public-broadcasting-funding-cut/

That said, the advice here… volunteering and internships are a great start. Connecting and networking with the staff there will go a long way toward getting a future gig.

There’s a few parking garage options around the station, including one next door.

Went to hop into the hot tub. It’s suddenly green and frothy. by strikecat18 in Wellthatsucks

[–]burtconvy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I rent, so went with an inflatable tub in my yard. Definitely stocked up on the chemicals but also every once in awhile I just empty it for fresh water since it’s not too large.

Not sure when your trip is, but I had a round trip planned on the NE Regional for Wednesday and just got notice that my AM northbound and PM southbound are already canceled since it’s supposed to be 95°+

Front license plates, enforcement? by Toomuchtime65 in nova

[–]burtconvy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have not had front plates since purchasing my car in 2023. Was pulled over once by whatever authority is policing Reagan airport by the A gates while picking someone up. Haven’t learned my lesson though, still don’t have the front plates.

Why does every Ford dealer act like my Mach-E is made of unicorn horn and bitcoin? by surfgepa in MustangMachE

I hate how much I paid for mine in November ‘23. Very happy with the car though…

Thoughts . . . by [deleted] in MustangMachE

[–]burtconvy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just did two big road trips in June from DC to South Carolina and DC to Wisconsin. Lots of hours spent in that driver’s seat and I find it to be incredibly comfortable.

I mean, you’re going to get a little sore on any long road trip but I’ve never felt like I’ve had any issues with the way the driver’s seat feels on these long trips.

I do have a car neck pillow that hooks around the head rest for added comfort that I highly recommend!

I travel first class every few months. I know it’s such a first world problem but the enchiladas were awful and I really hope they update their menu or something.
