02/15 - Modish Monday!

[SisphyeanTurker]

We are used to them being a strong possibility during the summer months because of high demand (A/C, etc) but this is not something we've seen in winter in Texas. Everyone has to remember just how massive a state Texas is and a usual Winter day has temperatures ranging from the 30s in the Panhandle to 80s or higher on the southern border so demand is not crazy high. Instead, we have all 254 counties dealing with record breaking cold temperatures for the last several days and continuing through the end of this week, infrastructure that was not built to withstand these conditions (reports of frozen wind turbines have been coming in) and a whole helluvalot of people whose first thought is to crank the heat up as high as possible whether they're on gas or electricity especially with so many people working from home and schools in virtual mode today and through the rest of the week. I am 46 years old and a native Texan. I have never seen this in my lifetime. Hopefully after the end of this week I'll never see it again.

Yah, that is crazy, and thank you for the explanation.

Don't do the
Social Psychology Experiment for $1


It's pages of free-form prompts which could be okay if you type quickly, But then, at the end, it says, "You're almost done, but...you need to write a 700 character essay!
I'm a very quick typist, and it still is sub-$4 an hour, to give them any quality data. Took 18 min to complete. Their previous hits were great, so don't be lured in by good reviews from previous work.
Edit:
Daily life experiences psychology study - 10 min survey(~ 10 minutes)
3K8YRYAXTNKPJ8UMBRROX07MGFADGZ is the hit

Hi everyone
I haven't turked regularly in about six months, so the landscape looks different. I know this has probably been covered a million times, and I apologize in advance for the rehashing; normally I'd search here but I don't even see this forum's search bar!
My questions are about MTSuite. On Chrome it says that there is an error and the new permissions include "read and change all your data on the websites you visit."
1) Is this safe/generally trusted? I honestly don't remember if old Suite had similar permissions.
2) Should I uninstall Suite and reinstall?
If there is a thread where this is already covered, I'd happily accept those.
Thanks in advance for your help! Happy Monday

Sorry, I don't have a thread to point you to, maybe someone else here does. But yes, I'm still using MTSuite and it's taken a little getting used to the new version (last couple of weeks), but it's still excellent and I use it everyday. It'll look a little different for you now though if you haven't used it in awhile. I recommend installing the new version, but maybe others have input too.
I trust it very much.

Rolling blackouts are always so strange for me since, living in the NE, I've never had them. It's crazy they are doing them now with how cold it is there but understand that it is necessary.
