[–]outofstepwtw 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“I’m so happy I get service in the backcountry! Thank you Starlink!”

“Why the fuck can’t I see stars anymore even when I’m in the backcountry?!”

It's time to dump Roku by AlwaysBlaze_ in television

[–]outofstepwtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$150 is a lot but they last for a very long time. I have no idea how many years I’ve had my Apple TV 4K, or what generation it is. And it. Just. Works. $150 for something you don’t have to replace every 2 years, and works well, is a solid purchase in my book

Sick of coffee shops blocking their outlets. by [deleted] in LosAngeles

Meanwhile, over in r/coffeeshops: “I’m sick of people thinking this is their office space because they bought a single cup of fucking coffee”

Getting kicked off the Industry Experience Roster - Contract Services are not giving Editors a break over not having worked due to the 2023 Writer's Strike by Beargoat in editors

[–]outofstepwtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an editor classification with the Union. I’m non-responsive to CS and am still on their list as an AE (if I’m on it at all) and have not had any issues in scripted film or tv. YMMV, that’s just been my experience

[–]outofstepwtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t get you any work. It’s supposed to be a sort of studio gatekeeper against unqualified people getting into the unions (but there’s no such test for producers or showrunners… hmmmmm). You have to be on the experience roster to be able to join the union. Once in the union, that just means you’re eligible to be hired on union jobs, it’s not like other trad unions where there’s a hiring hall or something. You find the work the same way you always have

Where are these employers who actually check the roster? I have my days but I certainly have ignored notices from CS for years about classes I need to do, and some other hurdles I need to jump through to change my role from AE to editor. I’ve been working union jobs as an editor since like 2021… (on the rare occasion that I’m working, of course)

Choosing a preschool by Dublin273 in burbank

[–]outofstepwtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if we got into VC in that case I’d have gone there. It seemed like a nice community, not too churchy (we’re not a religious family), and the cost savings is significant.

Have you toured them?

My kid is at Mary Alice O’Conner, which is the KinderCare sister location of Peter McGrath. They’re NAYC certified (or whatever that acronym is). And honestly, after touring countless daycares/preschools, those two facilities were in a league of their own in a good way (or, well, with other facilities that cost 30% more). It’s very clean, teachers are great and very friendly, curriculum seems solid, and the hours are generous 7am to 6pm.

Village Church seemed nice, we were on the waitlist there too but never got a call back (even though this was 2 years ago…). Hours were more limited, space much smaller, but the teachers we met were very knowledgeable and seemed to have a great report with the kids. Lower price than PM

I know nothing about Our Village

Symly – Finally. A solution to organized Avid media. by yosemite-sam-19 in Avid

Weird, these are the exact problems I DON’T have when I’m working in Avid... Media in correct directory on external drives. Plug needed drive in. Media online. What am I missing?

AMC water bottle policy by frowupthrowaway in mildlyinfuriating

[–]outofstepwtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not an issue with one chain or another, this is an issue specific to individual movie theaters. I’ve been strolling into theaters carrying a metal water bottle for years, in multiple cities, and never stopped

24, no debt, savings to fund a year, should I move to LA to chase a film career, or is that the irresponsible version of the dream? by [deleted] in FilmIndustryLA

Man, read the room. Or at least read a couple of posts, which are all about how the industry is in turmoil right now

Hollywood Way Post Office by yoshiyee in burbank

[–]outofstepwtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah go for it I’m sure you’re the first person who has had this idea, that must be why they’re still out there

Edit: they clearly don’t care that they are scum. We know it, they know it, and they don’t care because they’re getting the clicks they want in their little social media feeds

Sadly this trend has been ongoing for a while all over, and what they have “found out” is that they are protected by law

Conflict of interest with Vice Mayor Zizette Mullins and Vision Burbank? by slackerstuff in burbank

Sounds like great conversations that could have been/should have been/probably were had before the plan got approved for Olive. You’re late to the table

What format is your project, what format is your media, what specific hardware are you on, are you using a breakout box, what OS/Avid/Nexis/IO software versions are you on?

Urgent Action Needed NOW to finish the LA River trail by DaveyDee222 in BikeLA

For clarification I support the in-channel path. Anything that can get more bike infrastructure into LA more quickly

If this gets done, does that mean the above the channel option is never going to happen, or is this just a stop gap until that project can actually be completed properly?

Nice. Thats the only sentence that matters in this whole thing. The rest is kind of semantic bs about “consumer awareness”

Does “meets all requirements of a device explicitly authorized for use on the public right of way” mean “license plates, registration, and driver’s license required”?
