Thanks, those threads go indepth on the mechanisms of how it works. Do you have any information on how this scales up( x size magnet can support 10 kg) and alternative ways of creating it or is the main reasonable method with liquid nitrogen?

Everything has a positive and negative. I'd like to see the negative of genetically modified foods from someone who works with it, who does the studies and research. Either that, or the evidence proving there isn't any, or that they don't know due to lack of long-term studies.

Hey thanks for doing this AMA. I'm all for using science to go into the future, but I've been having a hard time accepting this practice. I've already been bombarded with the benefits of it and that's what keeps me interested, but no one is opening up about the downside. Could you shed some light on that?

Also interested in a layman's source that I could really understand the process of what's going on and that I could share.

Dude congrats on completing the 5K. How often do you run them?

Yeah I see where you're coming from. Essentially in the UK if you're talented you got somewhere to go (or can atleast make the trip back and forth). In the US, if you're talented you best hope you can get there and survive there(which I tend to find so many musicians end up homeless or heading back home before they even begin making a dent in their career)

I'm out in LA and trying to compare the two.

TL;DR: He gets his account suspended. Guy comes onto forums and denys it all. Curses at admins that he's an honest guy, and he's gonna report them to BBB.Admin sends their greetings to all of us.

When you know that thousands upon thousands of people are going to be intently studying every minute detail of your horse, praying for or against it to win, watching as the odds climb up and down and you could possibly send them walking home to pack their bags as they just gambled off their rent money, or finally hit that big win and dance around...all of this ontop of the fact that you got an announcer giving a play by play to these very same thousands of people...are you really going to think twice about naming it _________

This. While it's a good idea, you can screw up your phone, or credit/debit cards.

I found the one pun reddit hates: Sir, women do not have a sense of humor. They are much too paritacular for such. They have dollars of humor.

Not too sure on the deal, but to my knowledge entertainment contracts are legally binded to 7 years MAX. There was a big dispute with actors(I believe marilyn monroe was included in the story somehwere) that were binded for life to a studio, and then it was overturned that that the legal limit was 7 years. This goes for musicians as well and any other people in entertainment.

Managers usually get paid 10-20% off the top. If you don't feel right taking a cut, you want something down in writing just as a mutual respect. The grassroots is the one of the HARDEST part of the career, and also one of the easiest things to forget when the fame rolls through.

IMO: A) FINANCES -- Make sure they're being used wisely. Make sure that he builds up his 'package'. He is giving people an experience through his art, and that experience should be complete. You need to be the one seeing the big picture and making sure you do everything to make HIS vision real. Don't try and guess this, ask him.

B) FANS -- I LOVE HIM. I want to spend every waking moment I can listening to him, and following him from party to party. What're you doing to keep me happy?

Good luck

Why do you want to be his manager? What brought it up? It sounds like the opportunity has risen and you are trying to jump on it. This is good, but are you capable? What will you do for him? What are you expecting to get paid? Are you worth that pay?

These are the questions you should be able to answer blindly, if you want to do it right. Most artists I know have like 10 buddies that claim to be managing them. You either got to be ontop of your shit, or be a real hustler.

Right there with you. I ended up in a music trade school that cost a pretty penny that I'll be done with soon enough. Luckily, I was able to get some help, but at the end of the day, those payments are heavy.

I empathize with the other students, but walking the halls it really burns to know that most of them have loans and will leave with a certificate that will get them no better job than they had before going. Not because it's a bad school, but because it's a tough career to break.

Not very random, but all the planets alligned in the sky. It was as beautiful as any other night, but just comprehending and understanding what was going on was what was truly mind blowing. You could hear the screams in the street of people partying, the whispers in the back of your head of those that were too afraid to show their face, and then life continued on a positive climb.

As the years went on, you started seeing changes. Not huge, but they began to build up to something really majestic..something our ancestors were fighting for. Poverty lowered, not only in the rich areas, but everywhere. Standard of life went up. Education began climbing. Wars stopped, and peace filled the land. People without a doubt fulled believed in their dreams and that they can and will achieve anything they desire to.

The financial class system died...and a new knowledge based one arose. All our resources were being pooled into development. Development of all creatures. Of all technologies.

This was the dawn of The Golden Age. I could go on and on, but you will see it soon enough. Maybe this glimpse into the future will give you some bit of hope. And soon enough, this will be something you historians will probably be reading and laughing. Oh how did he travel back in time? So silly historians. So silly.

That's awesome. Pass on how you achieve that, so that others can achieve the same. As I said, I'm not entirely against loans because otherwise we wouldn't be able to do many things as they are there to aid us. Just cannot stress enough to READ what is being signed, and to understand the conditions/consequences.

knowledgeoverswag · 24 days

They are financial nightmares. What you could make in 1-2 years working min wage saving up to defer the costs may save you 5-6 years of payments in the future. A lot of people get fucked because they end up paying interest and the total goes up every month.

I'm not saynig don't get them, but just work the numbers to avoid paying as much interest as possible. Shit adds up quick.

Technically, its yours. If they make a fuss about it, you can always change the name, but then again there's nothing illegal about making a fanpage. Head over to r/watmm and ask them about, they will give great insight.

This isn't about being a GGG or a scumbag, its your FOURS YEARS of work and you deserve something for it. They could just have easily made the page and done the maintenance. You don't want to be an asshole about it, but chances are if you just hand it over they'll continue to tomorrow and forget your existence.

As other comments stated, STAY IN THE LOOP! Force them to stay in touch with you. Keep the page as the only admin member, work with them on new releases, start sticking your nose in and make the most of this opportunity to make something of yourself in this industry.
