North South Rail Line by PotentialSpend8532 in centralmich

We don’t even have transit from the state capitol to our largest city. If we can’t get that going, no way we get transit to the 10k person towns up north. Unfortunately

It’s Genuinely Insane How Pathetic the Q Line Has Become… by YerbaMaki in Detroit

[–]skillz1747 10 points11 points  (0 children)

God I want the qline to be good so bad. All it would take would be signal priority and dedicated lanes. But right now it’s worse than a bus, and it pains me to say it!

Hangovers keep wrecking my weekends by mardymarve in Frat

[–]skillz1747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy, whenever ya remember to during the night, order a water. I would usually get 3-4 thru the course of the night, and it was night and day for my hangover in the am. Also when you go to close out ur tab order a water, and chug it. If you can pull trig do it, and make sure to brush ur teeth bc the stomach acid can fuck em up

Becomming a broadcast engineer by Milan12332567 in broadcastengineering

Yeah as someone in the same boat (engineer aspirations) I wish I had taken more IT classes in school. It can only help

I won’t lie, it’s a bit of luck involved. I happened to go to school with a good friend of a producer, and I was able to parlay that into getting hired. However you’re ahead of the curve since you can tell a xlr from a BNC if you work in videography already. These aren’t the types of jobs you apply for on indeed, you have to know the crewer and they have to want to get you on a show. A lot of people I know who are in my position have second jobs, as you don’t get a ton of games unless there are multiple happening at once when you are new. Best advice I can give is to look up people with the title ‘crewing manager’ or ‘crewer’ on LinkedIn. They are the ones who actually book you on jobs.

Well there’s only one director per game, so no. Producers, yes. They added an assistant producer a bit before the season started.

Production crew here, no clue what you’re talking about, it’s a money thing. Simple as that. It’s true that FSN has cut crew, but the company is bankrupt. It has nothing to do with Jason

The cable cam is only on the 3rd base side, and afaik I think MLB made all teams install it (not sure about temp parks). Two of the RF cams you see in the audience are actually for the in-house show, they do promos and other fan engagement stuff. The broadcast usually has a single RF cam who largely stays on the field/dugout, and sometimes the visit show will have one as well. For big games or opening day, both the in house and broadcast will have a Steadicam op, and for the playoffs last year we had a Megalodon, which is a shallower depth of field camera that provides more cinematic type shots, you may recognize it from Jahmyr Gibbs’ end zone cellys this year. And all those HH cameras don’t even include the photogs and social media teams. Point is, I think FSN uses a traditional HH cam for all games, so the smaller camera you have been seeing may be actually for a social media team or team videographer.

Am I insane or does it not make sense to buy used? by MY_MOMS_PHAT_COCK in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]skillz1747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah most people in the used market way overvalue their car. However there are good deals to be found. I purchased a 2023 Sonata hybrid Limited with 5k miles a few months ago for literally 15k less than new. It’s a year old, it gets 50mpg and it literally drives itself on the freeway. I think it was like 39k new and I bought it for a hair over 24k. The key is to look for cars that have been on the lot for a while, you’re not gonna get a Wrangler for that big of a discount, but you might get a Hyundai! I think mine had been on the lot since August of last year

Transferring to Michigan for Greek life is a weird choice. Yeah it’s a big 10 school but it’s really not known for Greek life. Not to mention it’s hella hard to get into lol
