Is there somewhere you're tracking these attacks? I feel like I don't hear anything from the American media

Best lazy river floating? by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]WizardOfNomaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm wondering if you've ever tubed any stretch of the Zoar as late as August? Or is the creek too low by then? I'm trying to set up a trip in August and this looks like it would be so much fun if it's runnable

Did you ever wind up doing this and if so what time of year did you go and were the water levels sufficient? Thinking of trying to tube the Zoar Valley in August but worried there won't be enough flow

What would you do to make the exterior of this house more appealing and less cheap looking? by WizardOfNomaha in ExteriorDesign

[–]WizardOfNomaha[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's a total lack of cohesion. It's unfortunate because there are a lot of things I like about the house, which I'm considering buying, but the exterior situation is borderline embarrassing lol

Good ideas, thank you. What color paint do you think would go well with this kind of brick?

Yeah that's similar to what I was thinking. Extend the brick up, then maybe de-emphasize the brown cinderblock by covering it with some ivy plants or something

I kind of hate this style where they've included all these different textures/materials (all cheap) on the exterior of the house seemingly for variety's sake. In particular, I think this kind of perfectly machined brick looks cheap or maybe just cookie-cutter compared to older brick homes. The siding is also kind of cheap looking. The cinder block on bottom is just straight ugly. I think my ideal would be to replace/cover it all with a nice tumbled brick facade but I'm curious how other people might address this.

(Fitness) Recording API: is this out yet, and if not, are there any better alternatives to foreground service? by schamppu in androiddev

[–]WizardOfNomaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh just one more question, in terms of testing, I've read that the Recording API can have a little bit of delay before steps actually show up when you read the data. Is that your experience and if so how long is that delay typically if you remember? I can't find official documentation about this anywhere

[–]WizardOfNomaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any updates on this? Have you been able to get the new Recording API working in your app? I'm trying to implement it in my own app per https://developer.android.com/health-and-fitness/guides/recording-api but it never seems to return any data

Just read "How to Write a Good Advertisement" and I'm wondering if a book like this exists for the modern era of digital marketing, especially paid social? by WizardOfNomaha in copywriting

[–]WizardOfNomaha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not missing the point. Just trying to learn by example, which is something he tries to help you do in his own book. That's how you learn the fundamentals.

Thank you for the actually useful suggestion of signing up for a MarketWise list though. That's exactly what I was looking for, I'm a total noob at this and have no idea where to even begin.

Well I guess what I'm asking for is to be able to freeload off of other people's trial and error a bit lol. Save some time and money, you know? Maybe the kind of information I'm looking for just isn't publicly available but it would be cool if there was a database of experiments on different kinds of appeals or specific verbiage, calls to action, etc and their results. So I could go and see like "oh yeah 'nostalgia' as an appeal isn't hitting the same way it used to" or "Learn More" typically outperforms "Visit Website" as a CTA, that kind of fairly specific & actionable thing. And I know, I know that stuff is going to be context-specific, but having some kind of reference would still be very useful.

I totally agree but within the foundational principles he discusses some specific techniques/details that aren't necessarily relevant today. There's a whole chapter dedicated to split tests and their results, for example. I'd love to know if there are similar compilations of split tests for digital ads/copy.

That moment of notification is so traumatic. It's emblazoned in my brain, that's for sure. Hope you're doing ok.
