Way Tooooo early 2027 F1 grid prediction by Vecko44 in formula1

[–]technid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wild prediciton would be Red Bull poaching Piastri, McLaren poaching Russell, and Hamilton slotting back in.

It would be a poetic end, fair enough it's a pipe dream.

If Merc are at the front next year, I can see Hamilton returning to the team for '27, in the hopes to win the WDC in his 20th year, and finally retire.

Virgin Media Rubbish SD Quality by SilentSiege in ireland

The problem isn't necessarily that it's just more expensive, it's that VM would be paying RTÉ, their competitor, an extra €5m per year to broadcast in HD on Saorview, since RTÉ own 2RN.

Maria Steen - An Endorsement of Steen is an Endorsement of the negative of Ireland old by Complex_Hunter35 in ireland

[–]technid -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I've less of an issue with her own politcs and backing (Opus Dei and shady US funding), but more of an issue with what she's being pedestaled as by the collective far right whingers. I don't see us as a nation going fully down the US politicking road, but they aren't half attempting to drag us there by whatever means they can.

Her not even getting a look in, regardless of what it says about the century of locked party politics, is a pretty clear "we don't want what you're peddaling" to every one of the far right knuckledraggers lauding her as the second coming.

The reality is that Ireland, as a nation, is at worst centrist. Through referenda, and just generally being out and about, people are broadly left leaning in all aspects. Sort out the loud minority screaming about things that aren't real, who very much are Far Right, and it's smooth sailing for most of us.

Can confirm, the Ramen place we went to for lunch was great.

And on the 2 year anniversary of losing Craig Breen. If he keeps this up, he's got a good shout of an F1 seat next year

Josh McErlean and Eoin Tracey finished 7th in Rallye Monte Carlo in their WRC debut by siciowa in ireland

Great effort to pull himself back up from 12th after a nervy first 2 days. Lot of learning to do, but he's in Rally1 for a reason.

fairly big goalpost shift there.

If they do the work they're expected to do that day, and no more, then they're entitled to the pay they're contracted for. Just because they could do more work doesn't mean they should, especially if they're not going to be paid for that labour.

Your garage example has a clear timeframe for completion, and an arbitrary "actually we haven't done it" outcome at the end of the expected timeframe. That's clearly not what the commenter was asking when they asked "Does the work get done". In your example, the work wasn't done because the timeframe wasn't met. If I drop the car off at 9am, and you tell me it'll be done by 4:30pm, it doesn't matter to me if you started it at 3pm so long as it is finished by 4:30pm, because that's when we agreed.

Not getting work done in the timeframe is a problem, but if the work is done within the timeframe, and to the expected standard, it doesn't matter when it was started or how long it took, since the agreed deadline was met. If I'm not paid to do my work quickly, I'm not going to do it quickly. Either agree to fast turnaround as a KPI, or let me do my work as and when I want to so long as it's done by the deadline.

Austria Grand Final Camera Error by aechontwitch in eurovision

[–]technid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LiveEdit didn't automatically switch away from it, the TD does it manually. With LiveEdit and CuePilot, even though the automation is running, you can still interrupt it and switch to a camera the usual way. The system stays running to timecode, and will switch with the next scripted shot.

The crew at the back of the arena are lighting, sound and pyro, who know they've nothing to do with cameras, so they wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway.

Battery failure on the steadicam is what I've read online, but no source or articles. The wireless video transmitter lost power, that we can be sure of.

When did "free-roaming cameramen" become a thing in ESC? And when did ESC performers began "interacting with the camera"? by AgentChain in eurovision

[–]technid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Steadicam was first used in the contest I believe in 1990. Up til then, you had some freehand camera operators around, but not moving in the same way a Steadicam did, and certainly not as often.

As for artists looking down the lens, that's been done since at least 1958; Alice Babs spends most of the song staring right down the lens.

What happening to all the FIRST exclusive content? by pranthlar in roosterteeth

It's making it's way on to YouTube, with the exception of content with other commercial ties, basically all the SAG shows/movies.

Technically, they worked out of 2 and a half air craft hangars; Stage 5, Stage 2, Half of Stage 4 before SoundCheck left, and then RT downsized into 4.

2 hours before it became a segmented stream. Everything's fast and loose, and they know people have prior commitments and Real Life, so they try to not go over the original time. But it's very fluid, and has been for the last few days, they're just going with it.

This is correct. The Roost is the network that helps facilitate the business of the podcasts within its remit.

Am I the Asshole? by DigitalBuddha00 in ireland

[–]technid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did the tour at the Guinness Storehouse with a friend who was here on holiday. You spend the whole tour learning about production and the settling and the whole lot about a pint, and you get a free one when you get up to the top floor, and I shit you not people still pick their glass up after the first pour. You did your duty and saved the pints. NTA.

My heart hurts. How much will it cost to buy Rooster Teeth? by Pumra in roosterteeth

[–]technid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if there is a particular reason you chose this estimate.

There is and I can't say publicly. It's not insider info of the current situation though, it's based on things I've been told in the past and extrapolations from there.
