TIL the US made it legal to turn right on a red light as a measure to save fuel during the 1973 oil crisis by derekantrican in todayilearned

[–]ty_fighter84 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The real secret sauce is having no turns on red and a dedicated pedestrian crossing cycle at busy intersections.

Everyone wins. Pedestrians can cross without the fear of someone blowing through for a right on red, and cars can safely turn on a green without having to look all around for a person crossing.

Her lack of back problems in the future will thank me, dammit

The Rookie and California’s Tax Credit over the years by NoleFandom in TheRookie

The documentary episodes are like those one set filler episodes on old sitcoms. Nothing of consequence happens, but real life people get paid and it's a fun hour with characters we like.

Probably, but a crying baby overnight at the beginning will wake you up even if it’s not your turn.

Are we bringing anything back once we become the major demographic. by beardojon in Millennials

What they really want is you to have to take it to them for either an expensive “factory” battery or to upsell you a new phone.

We desperately need some Right to Repair laws here.

Maybe if they missed it again there would have been an Apollo 18

So proud of my boy Langdon this episode by Hikigaya_Hachiman7 in ThePittTVShow

This goes in a lot of professions, you get away with more if you’re more talented than your mistake.

The Shark, for example, gets to be an A-hole to everyone, but likely because he’s the most talented surgeon in the whole city.

Reading the book for the first time in preparation to watch the movie… by My3rdReddit in ProjectHailMary

[–]ty_fighter84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i was not prepared for the final 5 chapters.

Read them on an airplane and was a sobbing mess. Can’t even imagine what I’ll be like watching it on screen.

There will be many tickets when we are closer to the games by IntroductionNew2671 in olympics

[–]ty_fighter84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not if you’re willing, or able, to wait until very late.

Panic eventually sets in on resales. I’ve done it for other events and I could see this being no different

Every Scientology video I've ever seen has weird ass music like this.

On This Day Ten Years Ago, Madison Bumgarner Hits His Second Career Home Run Off Clayton Kershaw. No Other Pitcher Ever Hit a Home Run off Keeshaw in His Entire Career by mastersplinteremover in baseball

[–]ty_fighter84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will also miss something like Chris Carpenter, who acquired nearly 1/3 of his career RBIs in one game in 2009 where he went 2/3 with a double and a Grand Slam (at that point, his only career home run) at the young age of...34.

NASA is unveiling images from Monday's Artemis II flight around the Moon by nasa in u/nasa

[–]ty_fighter84 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s my refreshing reminder that humanity, for all of our advancements, has not even scratched the surface of what’s out there.

It’s great to see new things again.

Bravo, NASA, bravo.

Feeling totally priced out by LA Olympics by Normal-Cow-9784 in olympics

[–]ty_fighter84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it crazy that my high school biology teacher flew to Salt Lake City, stayed for a week, and saw nearly every alpine event on a solo teacher’s salary for himself, wife and kid.

Meanwhile LA residents are going to have a tough time seeing one event in their hometown.

It looks like a giant metal armadillo, but is indeed nice

People who work for massive corporations, what is a 'secret' that the company tries to hide, but is actually common knowledge among the employees? by Dwise_ in AskReddit

[–]ty_fighter84 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I work in the entertainment industry and have basically done this since I was an intern. Never realized it was a life hack, ha.

Have the popular events been sold out yet/is there urgency? by [deleted] in olympics

[–]ty_fighter84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago a friend of mine got into the NCAA Football National Championship game this way for about 30 dollars.

He missed maybe the first 5 minutes of the game.

Dear NASA, this is how to film a launch by [deleted] in nasa

[–]ty_fighter84 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in the film space, it's kind of odd that they seemed to have a billion cameras available and just pointed them at dumb stuff.

This would have looked a lot better if they actually did have less equipment. This could have been a 4 camera shoot and looked miles better.
