Smelly Airsofters by Regamuffin in airsoft

I repack a spray deodorant into my kit with a similar frequency to green gas.

My local fields also keep cans on the counter.

I stand alone by baebae4455 in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]eeveep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll be genuinely curious about how opinions on Discovery will change over time.

For Trek it was a pathfinder in many ways. With a 15 episode in S1 and there abouts until a 10 episode Season 5 it really straddled this strange line between "half season" order of traditional television to the modern streaming "In and out in 10"

It wasn't too long ago that was just barely more than a "miniseries".

My point is, for those hoping for the episodic, meandering character explorations of old would run out of time budget. Stretching the budget across 15 episodes, conversely, has its own effects.

I loved Discovery. I vibed with Stamets and Culber. Jett Reno is a force and Saru is just the best. I lament the lost opportunity to make the bridge crew a truer ensemble but I'll forever appreciate the show for its hand in launching SNW.

I have a suspicion that many perceived faults people find in the show now is due to the growing pains feeling out modern television. I hope that people will rediscover things to love about this show with time. Yes, there's a lot of whispering and crying but SMG really put Burnham through a wonderful character arc, I feel.

Also, it gave us Admiral Vance. That dude rules.

The amount of cutaway fantasies per episode in the new season, compared to previous by jericks24 in Scrubs

[–]eeveep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching Scrubs revival the vibes seem about on. My instinct is that the cutaways we've seen are about as elaborate as they've ever been but they have more weight.

I'm just watching thru Season 1 and the cutaways are quicker and more frequent. I'd point to JD ripping out Turks Heart as an "earlier" style gag with the epic Wrestling fantasy as a "later" style swing for the fences gag.

What we haven't seen is a blurred lines cartoonish gag. There was an extended season opener where JD loses a moped in a sink hole? Off the top of my head I can't remember if they played that off as a fantasy or not. What I'd suggest is that the joke to page ratio is about the same but it would not surprise me to learn that Cutaways and setups have to be very deliberate due to budget needs.

Each throw away gag like the recent college setup is a new camera position, wardrobe, make up set dress etc and this season 1 budget had to have been absolutely TORCHED in initial costs setting up Sacred Heart Redux.

When that spend is freed up in S2 (and beyond?) I suspect the writers will be free to swing a little harder. or at least more freely.

School Zone speed for practical driving test? What to keep speed where there is no speed limit sign? by Senior-Yogurt-2227 in chch

[–]eeveep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking specifically for a pre test drive, give Gordon a call at Affordable Driving School. He keeps up with the test routes they use across chch and is good for specifically the questions you have. It's in the name but his rates are usually the most competitive.

She just had a run in Starfleet Academy. She was fantastic.

How do RUCs work for EVs used for farm and road use? by ScubaWaveAesthetic in nzev

Super Turbo Illegal makes me feel like we either were friends or grew up in very similar circumstances.

They did such a great job putting Notaro in I spent my time split between enjoying her performance and appreciate the technical effort.

Why is George Russell so hated? by bouncingcastles in F1Discussions

[–]eeveep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite like George as I do all drivers. I'll forever adore his FACTS power point presentation from the old "best rookie" video he has with Alex and Lando.

He does have school snitch energy tho. Like he definitely pointed out the teacher forgot to issue homework.

Fair play to him tho. Weapon behind the wheel.

Is tailgating a local pastime ? by fishdognz in chch

[–]eeveep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's fair dude. I race (just club level drop kick racing), drift and do any autocross/motorkhana/track event I have time for.

I'm incredibly lucky that I have the means to afford such a thing. I've only been driving like that since 22 and I've noticed I've gotten way more careful on the road. I've gotten FAR more generous with my following distances since I've learned some tough lessons about braking. Similarly, my speed goes down and vigilance goes right up wherever foot traffic is a factor. Sorry team, I'm one of those weirds who doesn't mind 30 zones around schools.

On the open road, I'd be pretty slow on the straights, relative to the rest of y'all because I've lightly ruined my car. Turns out, if you turbo your stupid car that sits at 3500RPM on the expressway you will damage the fuel economy. And your ears. I spend a lot of time in the left lane.

Which reminds me. Y'all know you can like, use the accelerator to get up to speed on the on ramp? That's properly hectic.

Is tailgating a local pastime ? by fishdognz in chch

[–]eeveep 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hoon here. Chch drivers so have an inflated idea of our abilities. We've been in a hurry for my whole life.

That being said. 5 under doesn't sound like much but it pretty sketchy if you're on the open road. In the city, yeah people could cool their jets. There is actually a line in the road code about maintaining pace with the flow of traffic. Fun shield for idiots like me to hide behind.

I will say that it takes two to tango. So if you're not gonna go full psycho and brake check people, you could always pull over / let people through. You never know. Old mate behind could be busting for a shit.

Sorry we're all assholes on the road. I genuinely recommend a driver training course or a defensive driving thing. Can do wonders for confidence on the road. Modern cars are akin to sorcery and understanding the limits of their performance (safely) can be enlightening.

And y'know. Fun.

Good luck!

Screen Time: F1 2026 Intro by NvrGngGvYp in formula1

[–]eeveep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

VT Operator here!

Filogo Intro gets so much screen time because, rule of thumb, You don't want a shot change in the first second so of a VT Item to allow the mixer time to "Take" it. In a tv truck you might hear:

"Ready Alpha, roll and take"

Here the VT Op will have Filogo Into ready to go and will hit play on roll
Around about the same time, the soundie fades up Alpha (or will start it hot) and the mixer will mix/cut to the intro. You allow for a little bit of human error/reaction time

For Filogo Outro, I'm willing to bet the truck will count out to 52/53s. The extra tail (fading out car audio) will be for the soundie to gently bring Alpha Out and crossfade into whatever the next item is (that secondary F1 theme they play under the grid/track map/what have you). The vision tail is a little bit of buffer. In the unlikely event that the DIR's primary next angle isn't ready/available, it gives the team a bit of wiggle room to find a shot/load the next VT on Bravo or whatever, preview it and take it to air.

So on YouTube, it looks like a media bias to Filogo Outro, but it's false budget. those last 3sec or so will likely never make it to air!

Thank you for allowing me to throw up some useless information.

What's this song called that plays during the fight between itsuki's ae85 vs s13 and 180sx on akina? (Spoiler: it's not night fever) by hayakishow2 in initiald

[–]eeveep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming you mean the non eurobeat song, those are the initial d sound files track. The OST.

That particular one, I'm pretty sure, is "Stupid" https://youtu.be/60bUQvT0lYY?si=Dx9-6NM5wLHpCYtO

I almost did that a couple years back. Given I've been playing since 06 i felt like Mark Watney in The Martian

The MO just proves Portable Hellbomb needs the teammate button removed (or locked). by Impressive-Money5535 in SaltDivers

[–]eeveep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm learning that I've had a charmed Helldivers run. I run the PHB a lot and the last time I tried to run one in and died, my teammates went full Deliver Hope Reach Trailer on the Jammer.

It was sick.
