Great night batch + biggest Giants come back in 30 years.
What an evening.

Sounds like you've done the majority of them then, I haven't heard of anyone really getting into them like that.

I'm a big proponent of having lots of screen real estate for Turking... I have two 27" monitors, so I have 8 separate chat windows open on each monitor at a time... some chats just waiting, some active. That's really the only way to make these profitable. All the while, I'm still grabbing other HITs and batches and working on those. My eyes will need a break after LILY Labs inevitably goes away.

After chatting with some of the student assistants, what takes so long on these HITs are that they're taking all of our questions/requests and devising SQL query commands to pull the requested info, so of course the speed at which they do that depends on their SQL competency. Sometimes they need to confer with each other to get the right commands.

Only if it's veggie sushi. No fishies.

Is it even really sushi if there's no fish on it?

Those batches know that my lap is a comfortable place for them to fall

I suppose that is the only way you could really turn those into a good hourly considering all the downtime. I just run a single 54" always have for this.

For you. I'm still hoping I ordered my pizza early enough that they don't call and say its too late to deliver.

 

[turkleton]

Btw @aveline, I ordered pizza, so you can just pay me back whenever.

So you just sit in front of a television then? Gnarly

I was just reading and catching up on today's thread. Re: pronunciation of @aveline. I just say Goddess.

Yup, seems easier than having a bunch of small screens.

She'll pay you back sometime between now and go fuck yourself.

I have ordered Domino's less than 10 minutes before close. Being nocturnal is kinda sucky in that regard. I felt bad so I tipped extra. But I wish more things were 24/7.

question... so being as broke as we are, we've been scrounging for stuff we could sell. would it be better to sell this old S7 we have the old-fashioned way or take it to a pawn shop? I have 0 idea what it's worth, it's in nice condition and I would guess maybe $100? I also have my S7 that is getting upgraded to an S8 fairly soon. I just know the pawn shop will be faster and I wouldn't get bombarded with emails or facebook messages asking me if I'd take $5, but pawn shop might offer me like $10 lol.

I just got a message from Firefox saying that all my extensions (including Tampermonkey!!) "could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.

Kind of stops me doing anything in FF Anyone else got this yet? Any workaround?

wow - just reading on reddit .... and Mozilla has completely screwed up Firefox because someone didn't renew a cert... here's the actual bug report:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973

Have to use another browser until they fix it, which should be less than 24 hours ... hopefully

Cheers,

Is it even really sushi if there's no fish on it?

Yes. The fishy stuff is sashimi, but sushi doesn't always have to include that. It can have just veggies, too.

I just went down a rabbit hole reading about this. Literally never knew about it. So cool.

 

[QueenOfScreams]

Can someone find me 14 pennies so I can see $10 and not $9.86 before I take my nap?

I don't think I've ever walked out of a pawn shop thinking "What a great deal!" Pawn shops are for desperate people. If you can afford to wait a bit, it will probably be worth more to sell it to someone.
