I wouldn't consider an MRI to be an actual human for these HITs, either. Unless I can see actual real flesh (or clothing obviously covering real flesh), I'd say not a human.

I agree but maybe someone should take the plunge and email him. Just like "moving baby" they show a stomach with a baby moving inside or do they mean like a baby moving around in a crib.

Does he respond to email?

For the moving baby in a stomach, I would say no to that one because you can't see the baby. Just like if a baby was fully covered by a blanket and moving around on the floor, you would say you couldn't see it.

Not getting any BZs did they change the ID again?

 

[mboone73]

yea, but they want the physical human in the video I believe.

But it is a physical human. Just a different representation of one.

Ok. If a tree falls in the woods, but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Mark not sure and move on. End of debate?

I just decided to take the plunge and get some script stuff going with Pandacrazy. It'll take some getting used to, but I can see some of the appeal. As it happens, Brian Z was up by the time I finished setting up, so I was able to test it on that hit and nab a few. I was a bit paralyzed before I realized it was the script yelling at me with a riff about not taking presents...thought I had some kind of weird popup at first.

Really, my only concern with using a script like this is that it seems like it would be suuuper easy to dig one's self into a hole with accidentally biting off more than one can chew, are there any good general tips to abide by when using scripts like PC?

Aside from what @K'Lee said above, which is really great advice, I would just get used to paying attention to the timers on HITs, if you don't already. Knowing how long a HIT's timer is, as well as maybe having an idea of how long it would take you to clear a queue of them, can save you a lot of trouble as you decide whether or not to start panda'ing a batch. Especially in the case of HITs like Endor HITs that lock you out when a HIT expires, you don't want so many in queue that you can't finish them all before they start expiring. Then you can either set a queue limit on them or slow down your panda timer to compensate.

I guess that makes sense. I usually do the question mark on that one. I don't know if he responds or not but I see he's gotten better with some of the explanations such as Football "american" or Football "soccer" which used to be confusing since it is called different things depending on what part of the country.

Thanks @aveline I wasn't sure if I was helpful or not but I was trying to be.

The dancing ones always get me.

I've had to google some of the dancing terms. I didn't know what contra dancing was until I looked it up. Similar to square dancing but different.

There is another dancing one that always gets me....I'm trying to think of it....

Cumbia. I have no idea wtf it is even after watching videos of it.

if it's got Hispanic people in it and they are moving, fuck it it's Cumbia

Never watched anything with subtitles besides horror movies (usually). France has some crazy horror movies.

Yeah. I've looked that one up as well and each video looked different so I don't know if there are different styles or what.

and to make it more confusing it's a music genre too.....
