I've only made 4 bacon mcdoubles today....I'm just lazy.

Edit: earned 3 decryptors in rocket league though.

I don't know what any of that means, but I think I'm subscribing to your literature

This might actually be against Amazon's TOS now.

The Participation Agreement says "you will not reject Tasks performed by Workers without good cause". So I guess it depends on the interpretation of "good cause" and what "good cause" is. If she didn't get any results because of some technical glitch, she (and/or Amazon) may consider that to be a good cause.

Missed every good batch and broke my computer speakers while I was at it.....so basically all of this is going to a new pair of speakers.

I hope so - most (not all ) of my rejections were admitted mistakes by the requester (even after changing to the new TOS)

speaking of marshmallows. Last weekend in the grocery store I actually squealed, and did a small jump while I up punched the air when I saw they DID have the pastel colored marshmallows in stock. Then I caught myself and looked around to see if anyone saw me. Fortunately, I was alone in the baking aisle.

I want to use them to make Easter Rice Krispy treats.

Can confirm! I used to stock shelves at Kroger way back when and those things barely ever sold. Then come Easter I'd put out cases a day throughout the store.

yea, you cannot actually define good cause, because it involves perspective

It's not stopping anyone though.
This type of shit has really ramped up in the last month.

Yep.

It's a hell of a lot more likely that it was due to negligence and lack of testing than to a "glitch" though.

Unfair rejection and no reversal = post their # on Craigslist ads offering free cigarettes or other must grab deals.

Not that I would ever condone such actions. :whistle:

not really; it's quite boring
the reason I like it is because it is such a powerful, efficient and useful process

If we were able to duplicate/synthesize the process of photosynthesis in a battery it will not only solve global energy problems.. but could potentially be used to reduce carbon dioxide pollution, lower global temperature, and aid in space travel, among other things (such as assisting colonization of other planets)

I get so upset and emotional knowing our world is going to shit and my kid's survivability is being challenged, that little things such as a photosynthesis battery are some of my only sources of hope

 

[tricker]

Can confirm! I used to stock shelves at Kroger way back when and those things barely ever sold. Then come Easter I'd put out cases a day throughout the store.

So, I actually kind of squeezed the bag to make sure they were fresh and not just last year's Easter stock put back out Not saying my local and locally owned store would DO that, but...ya never know what suppliers do!
