TROPHY CASE

R/marketing what do you think? by cRaZyKcNzin marketing

[–]siege_tank 2 points3 points ago*

I agree with strolls. Your idea is nothing new; it already exists in every job market and industry. Everybody who is looking to get hired markets themselves by building up a portfolio of experience. Something that you can put on a resume and talk about in an interview. Whether it be leadership positions on campus or working experience via internships/jobs. Marketing yourself doesn't do anything for the employer. They will hire somebody who has relevant real world experience and the ability to work well with other people. In order to market yourself, you need to have substance. What would you put on your website?

Edit: I maybe misunderstood what you are proposing, but it wasn't explained clearly in my opinion. If your idea is to basically make a website, then go ahead. I have a website of my own, but I don't really use it for much.

KONY 2012 is a campaign that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, to raise support for his arrest, and set a precedent for international justice. by nigeljkin worldnews

[–]siege_tank 1 point2 points ago*

He's hangin out in a forest in Congo. Close to death. Not really doing much. However the deed is done and the destruction can be seen across Uganda today. The Kony2012 thing is all about finding this one guy, Kony, and bringing him to justice through the ICC etc. In my opinion, it's really just a social movement for awareness of what has been going on in Uganda for the past 20+ year, but not much actual good will come from this campaign. If you think about it like this, we are out to catch one guy and his network LRA officials and give them what they deserve. Of course that's not a bad thing, but the effectiveness is questionable because the Ugandan army cannot look for him in Congo and there are many other causes that are more worthy of our focus at this time.

Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting BlackZeppelin. He is right. Kony is pretty much old news now because he already fled to another country. He has been abducting children before many of us were even born so to have a whole movement today in Uganda is really late.

TIL that if a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, the standard evasive action for an SR-71 Blackbird was simply to accelerate and outrun the missile by PeacockDoomin todayilearned

[–]siege_tank 188 points189 points ago*

Every time a SR-71 Blackbird story pops up on reddit, I always check out the comments. Mostly because I want to show off the fact that I have met and hosted him at a conference. By him, I am referring to Brian Shul, who is the most famous SR-71 pilot.(I say he is the most famous because of his book, The Sled Driver, which is a very well known SR-71 piece.)

I have heard this story from the man himself, so it is indeed true and he was indeed a badass. A fun facts that isn't very well known is that he got shot down in the Vietnam War and was very badly injured and burned. Doctors said that he would never walk again, let alone fly. He fought through the recovery and trained hard to earn a spot as one of the few pilots to ever fly an SR-71.

Huh? Rageface by Jjiinxin funny

I think you make a rather bold assumption that it's AT&T's "social marketing team."

First off, the account is over a year old. He is just a typical redditor with a year's worth of normal posts.

Second, it's not a logical ad campaign. They did not intend for it to focus on the huh. It just happened to be something funny that a redditor was proud of. If I was in a commercial for something funny and stupid like that, I would surely be proud of it.

Third, the OP of the post was in Beauty and the Geek, which is a reality TV show. It's not unlikely that that helped him get casted in the commercial.

Fourth, he did a popular AMA a while back saying he was a Daily Show intern and linked to his facebook profile. If you check out his profile (just search his name, Nate Dern) there are a ton of friends of his who are saying how they saw him in the commercial and how he made it to reddit front page.

I just think there is a lot of evidence that suggests that it is in fact not a viral marketing campaign. I just thought that your assertion that it was actually an ad campaign was a bit too forward.

Feedback on game company logo by the86guyin gaming

The logo definitely needs both a hammer and a pie. I say take the pie from logo 5 and combine with the hammer from logo 2.

The hammer in 5 is just too casual for such a hardcore name. Hammer 2 brings the level of hardcore necessary.

Also, the text from 2 and 5 are both good. Your call on that.

No, this is genius. They have 2 different niches so that they can dominate the market. Together they own 90% of the Walmart exercise DVD market.

Thanks. That brings up another question I had about eating, if you don't mind. When should I eat in relation to my rides? What would be the ideal spacing between eating and riding?

ie. eat 3 hours before the ride. not eating for 6 hours before you ride is bad. dont eat within the same hour as starting a ride.

Sometimes I feel I run a little bit low on energy

I pretty sure I want this, even though it's an insane idea. - Turbospoke Bicycle Exhaust System by dmanwwin bicycling

There's a certain childish charm about this that makes me really like it. I can imagine it being really annoying though, but not to the 7 year old pretending to ride around on a motorcycle.

That 2 seconds of demoman is when he accidentally clicked demoman instead of heavy. Switched out of that horrible class as soon as he could.

Edit: Demoman is actually one of my most played class. I was being sarcastic because all OP does is play heavy and a random 2 seconds of demoman.

I am considering purchasing this road bike, is this a good price? by BangWoin bicycling

[–]siege_tank 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Price is decent, but in my opinion, I would spend more to get a different type of shifting. Not sure if you noticed or not, but it has an older style where the shifters are on the stem which, in my opinion, is a pain.

[Class] How to play the Trumpet. by closetkidin UniversityofReddit

[–]siege_tank 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think 2cats2hats was talking about lessons that should be covered before actual practice begins.

  • Guidelines/pricing on which trumpet to buy (Low, Mid, High tier trumpet. It could be rentals as well.) By "intro trumpet" I think he meant entry level or beginners to intermediate level trumpet

  • Lesson with just the mouth piece, embouchure, how it should be played/what sound the mouthpiece should make, talk about how the player should imagine the wind moving through the horn

  • How to hold the trumpet

I think these are all important to learn before a student begins to play simple scales.
