Makes sense. I use FB and other social media platforms in huge million dollar+ real-time auction ad space buys. We opt for straight up audience view count, frequency, and reach.

Boutique poo poo like you were talking about takes an awful long time to grow.

Yeah, there was something a few years back about McDonalds blowing a bunch of money (reportedly over 10 mil) on Facebook ads and it generated the lowest amount of growth per dollar spent of any advertising venue outside of the phonebook. Facebook, twitter and other social media poo poo really isn't that good for reaching out to potential customers/clients unless you're either super small or you have a more "socially oriented business" that's more "word of mouth" than anything.

My brother used to own a veterinary hospital with his exwife and he was able to put much better numbers together with cable TV and local radio ads than anything else from local and state newspapers, internet ads, facebook, etc. Plus he got most of his ads subsidized by different vendors to throw their logos up for a few moments so it cost him less than a few hundred a month.

Facebook doesn't give out metrics regarding ad performance outside of the impressions. We'll spend money and FB is like "here's the bare minimum! Thanks for funding Oculus Rift!"

It was all done by McDonald's and some private accountants to try and gauge it iirc. Essentially the ruling is "if people already know you exist, don't spend that much on social media marketing outside of supporting safe political agendas"

She was really good in Bridesmaids, playing what is pretty much just Pam from Archer. Then she did a lovely sitcom about two fat people in love and some seriously lovely movies, then an OK movie with Jason Statham, and now what looks to be another really lovely one with Kristen Bell.

Also she's gonna be a Ghostbuster in what is assuredly going to be the worst franchine revival/reboot since Michael Bay's failed script for MacBeth 3: gently caress you Hamlet

She and Amy Schumer are the new faces of the body diversity movement in media, speaking out against "plus sized" as a de facto derogatory term.

I'm a raging feminist and even that's a bit too nit-picky an issue when we have forced fetal anesthesia and other :can: to pay actual attention to.

We did a "team transport" yesterday which means I get to sit up with the pilot and act cool. Since our workhorse plane is still getting new engines I got to sit up front in the sexy Pilatus.

First time I flew with the pilot, some Ireland born dude who ended up coming to america and enlisting in the Navy, on his way to get a direct commission in some flight mechanic position for the reserves.


90% of the entire plane is electronic controlled. The dude literally would just put in poo poo or pathways and the plane flew itself.




On the way back, just flyin' over Austin TX, no biggie.

Yup, it'll track our position and will show displays of other planes within like, a 50 nautical mile radius of our plane and give the description of the plane.

The sad thing? This is "older" technology, new technology has three huge rear end screen's across this platform. We're back in the 08's with this setup.

Amy Schumer has been around for a few years now. She had some stand up success back in 09-10 timeframe and landed a spot in Comedy Central's spot following Tosh.0 where they were hoping to catch lightning in a bottle again. Inside Amy Schumer is pretty funny and appeals to women in the same way Tosh.0 appeals to men.


I don't really like Melissa McCarthy, and I certainly wouldn't bunch her up with Schumer. Amy is an early 30s slightly pudgy JAP and is still hot enough in her own right. McCarthy is a fatter less funny Roseanne.

It closes valves in the firewall, cutting off fuel, and depending on the set-up, oil and hydraulic fluid, and shuts down the engine. If you don't also blow the fire extinguisher bottle, they can probably restart it in the air.

(Also, your bitch rear end gets beaten to death by irate flight crew.)

Yea what Dead Reckoning said. They require a bit of force to pull. Not something that'll happen accidentally.

Pulling them in the sim is cool. The handles pop out with a satisfying *thunk*
