That was good for a laugh, thanks

They ran out of HITs because too many people passed it so they had to bonus other people.

I haven't gotten my bonus yet

 

[Kristina M Greer]

so how's everyone doing today

Zoya just did a front roll off the bed and landed on her back.. I swear this kid is trying to give me another angina attack.

Swag.

 

[Chris26]

What bonus? The HIT is $8...

There was no HIT for me, it was just a qualification test. I was paid by bonus.

For the Impactstory - in the instructions I would have liked to have seen a better explanation as to why A = A, but B does not equal B - in one example both sites show the exact same thing, and it's a match - but another example, both sites show the exact same thing and it's NOT a match

so I'd like to see the reasoning explained better

 

[rsmath]

anyone else's transfer from mturk to AP still not go through?

I did mine Sunday, no problems, so I can't answer for trying to have done it after the holiday.

Bojangles is so weird. I've heard from North Carolinians about it (but have never been to an area with a Bojangles), they sponsor a major NASCAR race each year, yet if they are as good as people say, how come they aren't nationwide?

That may turn out to be pretty close to fact.

Gene manipulation is on the horizon. It all started with the good Brother Gregor.

Well, it's *here*, only the very beginning of it. You can still buy revised CRISPR edits of a few genes. It's all like the first steam engine now, not quite prime time, but it may be prime time awfully quickly when people realize what it will be like when diabetes, MS, Alzheimers, cancer, etc., are one-by-one destined for the history books.

Won't be easy, but interesting times, possibly amazing times. Here's to hope!

Thanks! I gave it shot but gave up after a while. I tried to open the links in new pages but when I did it would occasionally go from the current page and delete everything I had already done. I'm not confident that I'm doing it right enough to keep going back.

@Canuck You're a Canuck and your name sounds like duck so you're at least related to birds or so I assume. Maybe you know where the chicken is.

Mine have been taking like 3 days instead of 1 like it used to. I have no idea why.

Thanks y'all. Got my 8 smackers!

Yes, there's definitely an upside; but there's a danger there, as well.

The technology is still in it's nascency. What are we gonna do with it?

TBH, I don't trust mankind, at all.
