12/25 - Snowy Christmas Sunday!

[Thomas The Turk Engine]

Anyone got an AHK for the Pinterest Spammy hits? Swore I saw it posted here before but can't find it...

You have 34 minutes to decide.

My sloth is stronger than my gluttony.

My sloth is stronger than my gluttony.

I concur. Maybe we can get @MerryLou to go?

I've apparently taken this before. TO looks - eh

Returned it just now

I had a hit from a guy that said "Only do this if you did the 1st one." I figured it would check and reject me at the beginning, but the hit went on till the end. Guy sent me a reject, saying, "You didn't follow instructions. You never did part 1." So I wrote him back saying "I do 1000 hits/day and can't remember each one. You're supposed to program it to tell me that." The rejection still stands.

She seems relatively responsible and giving. We can take advantage of that.

Most requesters aren't web developers and would have no idea how to automatically screen workers. It's also not something that's built into mturk. A lot are just checking a spreadsheet or something after the results are in. You're going to get a ton of rejects if you just rely on requesters adding automated screening. If you're not sure if you're eligible for something, you shouldn't be doing it.

Sorry, I'm full of cheesecake and wine and shortly eggnog as well. Plus I already have a mountain of candy.

If I can use one of the robotic pandas for general travel then I think I could probably pack that stuff up and be there soon... or are those just for the revolution?

We have parallel development of both giant riding red pandas and robot red pandas. The riding red pandas are coming along nicely:

but the robots are still in the design phase:

You are both a good and bad influence.

That's good advice, but the vast majority of hits have told me if I've done it before or can't do it for some reason, and they do it as soon as I click on them. I don't know if it's programmed in the hit or in MT. This was only the first time in about 15000 hits, so he's not doing something.

Called to confirm the Ihop in my area is open. Called back to place the order and now nobody is answering. I'm hungry .

I suspect they're super busy.

 

[Yatagarasu]

I suspect they're super busy.

I'm sure they are (esp given they're open 24hrs). I'm still hungry though .

the cashier at the 7-11 looked upset. the customer in front of me was difficult too. be extra nice if you go to a gas station on Christmas because some people are so rude

It's hard for me to remember all the details of hits, surveys, etc. That stinks for you!

Also thanks @YAHU for test piloting the giant riding red pandas. The shorts look great, buddy.
