Are you daring to question the wonderfulness of Left Shark?! Because I will fight to the death to defend Left Shark and all their left sharky ways!

As others have mentioned, it’s a backup system kept on mute unless needed. Microphones are notorious peices of crap that fail if you even look at them funny and they’re in a bad mood. There were likely even backups to the backup.

I’m amazed it only took 19 Lester Holt to be called the n-word by these fuckwads...

Now I’m imagining a Rabbit of Caerbannog patronus:

During college, I did freelance video editing. Since it tied to my major, I thought “Hey, I’ll get both practice and money!” Most of the stuff was interesting in good ways (fondest memory of it was when a guy had me cut together a bunch of scenes from home movies for a wedding anniversary) or while tasteless was…

Same here... My dad is completely inept at technology except for the sites that house his bizzare fetishes.

Speaking as someone who lives in a county bordering them, it really is.

Exactly. I’ve had the honor of meeting three Holocaust survivors in my life. They each have a separate take (and I’m sure every other survivor has a different one as well):

Okay, after reading his mother died and then his father was killed in WWI, he deserved it. Then after reading that he’s a freaking Holocaust survivor where his first wife and children died, he really deserves it.

You know, I passed by it the other day and I was wondering the same thing.

I visited Pearl Harbor once, a nice bus ride from Salt Lake City and great views of the Indiana Ocean.

When I was in the London Underground, I thought I saw a plague ghost but it was just a UKIP supporter.

I’m willing to wager that if the historical Jesus (that is an unkempt, Middle Eastern man speaking in a foreign language preaching love thy neighbor, “he without sin throw the first stone”, etc) appeared before them, they’d be the first to grab the nails and cross.

I can’t be the only one reminded of the T-Rex chasing the jeep from Jurassic Park.

No but I'm sure he wishes he was.

I’m sure they still do. I went into one of the server rooms a while back and it was freezing for the machines “comfort” according to the engineer. But when I put my hand on one of the computers, it was still warm. So imagine if the AC went out and made the temp in there “normal”, they'd fry themselves probably within…

Fairly common at the stations I have and currently work at. Usually they only dress in full formal if they are going to stand at some time in the broadcast. So frequently, the most formal person on set is the metrologist.

Because of Amendment 1 to the US constitution (I added the bold due to their relevance in this situation):

I'm in the wrong business if these can fetch $600...

You’d be surprised. Advertisers hate being called ads because so many people have tuned (either by mentally or using adblock) them out.
