She'll be shush about it b/c she's modest...but it's in her siggy

thanks 4 this.

normally I take every moment to make fun of @Jaded , but because this is her vs non turkers, I'm 100 percent in her corner. I assume hitting the star thingy is voting?

if so EVERYONE VOTE FOR JADED NOW OR ILL KILL YOU with kind suggestions of voting for jaded later.

my book's in first place in that contest. that's pretty much the only good thing that happened today since turking sucks butt.

What happens if (when!) you win?
And Congrats

I hate snow. I think it's bad here, but I bet it's quite a bit more in VT. Do you like the winter weather there?

I like snow. But I wish it would melt occasionally. Once it's on the ground, it hangs around until April. I wish it would melt every now and again.

But overall, I like the seasons and I missed snow a whole lot when I lived down South.

What contest, Jaded?

Also, I might have to look into that Dell. Seems like decent money investment for a beermoney machine. The pc im building is mainly for gaming anyways.

The one I got is an Ultra Small Form Factor which means it's slightly bigger than a personal pan pizza box. You can't put a video card in it, but you can also get bigger ones for the same price that don't have that limitation.

I also have a similar one like that I might switch to in aid of using more than two monitors. There are other ways to do it, but meh.

Get two of whatever you get then if one dies you can restore your backup to the other one and just keep going.

You might also consider buying memory. It came with 4Gb but I think 8 will be pretty optimal for mTurk + scripts + multiple browsers open. Browsers are such memory hogs.

But yeah I am not using my main machine for this, despite it having dual 27" monitors, because I don't want to disrupt everything there with more scripts, and it's nice to sit in a different space to work.

People say that they like the changing seasons and miss it. I *might* like autumn if it didn't segue into winter. And I do have to admit an affinity and childlike wonder every time spring hits.
My biggest fear in life is Fimbulvinter.

Do you ski? Is that a thing there?

Do share the technique, I'm always misplacing every single thing ever.

I added an item, so now it is:

Don't rush;
Look under stuff;
Look where you do not expect the lost item to be;
*See and notice,* instead of just looking

 

[Merovign]

I have an *idea* for the cover of my first book, but I'm doing my second round of editing now after some *really* good feedback.

BUT I have to actually earn some pennies now! Been a bad few days.

 

[Kennedy]

@Jaded I went and looked at your book and perhaps I will have to read it. But, I must say, that cover is awesomeness. How did you come up with that?

 

[Jaded]

I added an item, so now it is:

Don't rush;
Look under stuff;
Look where you do not expect the lost item to be;
*See and notice,* instead of just looking

And remember the first place you checked and next time you set the item down, leave it there. You'll probably check there next time.

Disclaimer: This specifically helps me and sounds pretty logical so I'm sharing it. May not work for all involved.

Wow, I'm too predictable. I was sitting here staring at the text box wondering how I could answer this without answering it.

*sigh* idk if that will help me but I'll try it next time! I often will just retrace my steps very calmly and still not find things sooo who knows.

LOL I keep trying to grab the Masters hits y'all put up. :/

if you donate anything to the forum you can hide the masters hits so that doesn't happen

[VoidIsLove]

@Jaded Oh! Congratulations. If I have the chance I might snag one off the link to read.

 

[Despairagus]

That sounds so amazing!

TRY IT. It's truly gourmet lmao

I think the Chili was even like a $0.50 can we got at the new Lidl so it was pure garbage gourmet.
