That cameraman should try out for the NYPD because he was easily putting a pace or two on those guys without losing his breath. Gear weight aside, that's pretty impressive.

MTOD definitely seems to have a lot of technical teething issues that tell me they aren't taking it seriously enough. Broken video players, non-loading thumbnails, dead links, bad navigation, client-side JS errors breaking other parts of the page... you can't really fart out a spec to an outsourcer and have them put together something Netflix-grade. If you need new features or to support a new platform, now you need to make big technical decisions about supporting it. It's not like starting a new spin-off cable channel (which Hot Rod has failed at before); that's YouTube. It's more like building the TVs and the whole distribution network, and it's only going to get more expensive as the US starts to choke video traffic unless you pay ransoms to ISPs and backbone providers. It has to be like your primary product: you're not getting nothing out of YouTube in this department, and I think a lot of former cable-TV MBAs are going to realize this over the next couple of years when "let's make our own Netflix on a shoestring budget" turns out to be more expensive staff-wise even after the assumed cost savings from TEN/Discovery-style consolidation. By then, though, the daily-active-user and new-subscription quarterly bonuses will be spent and they'll be on to the next teat. Is YouTube getting selfish? Yeah, absolutely. Is this going to do a measurable amount to offset their increased overhead so they can compete on less money/views? I don't think so, but they obviously do. Maybe it's a Discovery long-bet to piss money down a hole until they find a strategy that will keep both MT and Discovery alive in the brave new world. I can definitely see the business case they pitched to make this happen, and they likely didn't have a lot of choices: I can't see the next decade for it. TV is the next newspaper. It's worth pointing out Roadkill magazine also folded last month (although I think that was a given: a premium $10USD mag supposedly about beater life that features fluff luxury car reviews on high-quality paper felt like a brand mismatch made in Hell). The real Roadkill magazine would be giving Murilee Martin amphetamines and having a college student transcribe the resulting tapes into photocopied 'zine format.

Fo3 posted:I watched the newest one last night and I'm in awe of his rust repairs (cutting out, welding, bending/shrinking, dent repair), huge pity he shows none of that on camera or any sheet metal workshop tools he must have, but you get to see he can repair properly- not just make a door out of bog/bondo. Most of the vids are just stoned/drinking and loving around or dog parts though. There are a ton of other auto body videos he's done on that channel. There is no way he's not either a pro or spent a very long time being a pro, and not at a Carstar chop-shop. The Model A restoration series has some good fab work and he takes it a little slower than normal (it's hard to hold a camera and bang out panels at the same time). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igsr-0-E910 The FJ45 patch panel video is slower paced too, and has some really cool tricks for lining poo poo up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U12eJgooDsg Nothing can compare to his Easy Rust Repair video, though. There is nothing like it on the internet and you absolutely need to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihK8mWH02rk Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 16:41 on May 1, 2018 |

Fermented Tinal posted:The last 25 seconds of this ad for No Frills (a grocery store chain) is so loving AI. I really feel like we're on the cusp of something happening inside Western civilization that will place the beater and weird shitbox front-and-centre. I mean, that thing is the end of cheap consumer credit and the extinction of the middle class, but if I get to have flat-blacked GMC Safaris popping low-and-slows in the parking lot of my local billionaire-owned grocery store? Sign me the gently caress up.

More real 80s cars, doing real 80s things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybQImSZbh4k Looks like an amateur hillclimb in Japan in 1988. Keep your eyes peeled for the fresh-off-the-showroom-floor Maxima and the downright rowdy G-nose Datsun Z. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Sep 5, 2018 |

wallaka posted:When I was installing tires for a living years ago, Michelins were a joy to balance, but the wheel isn't perfectly true, you're hosed because the sidewall will transmit any minor vibration or shake into something noticable. They'd fail the "road force" test every time and it was usually easier to change to Continental, BFGoodrich, Toyo, any other tire. That's interesting, I never thought about different brands being harder to balance. Here in Canada, steel wheels are still popular for snow tire use, which probably means more of them are bent as folks (and lovely traction control) overcook corners and slide into the curb for an involuntary dynamic alignment.
