Yes Mturk, please don't be dead today.

Thanks.

I have been trying to change my avatar here for the last week and it keeps messing up. If I try to upload a pic from my PC it just times out and if I use a URL it times out with the error,"A server error occurred. Please try again later."

Any help with this?

someone said scammies

Gross.

For some reason I remember we ended up saying no to posting these, I can't remember why. (I'm sure someone will remind me.)

They were stealing people's identities and CC info to finance them, which is very much NOT cool beans.

Thanks, that's super clear...

Ohh yeah! I think I ended up emailing one of them and they had no idea what was going on. I think we made a thread about it, I'm trying to find it.

I wonder why we ended up saying no to posting a HIT we all called scammies. Maybe there's some kind of hint in the name? Oh well, maybe some detective out there will solve it.

One of the world's greatest mysteries.

Ive waited so long for that keyword alert, thanks @Kuddish

Really? I find the opposite. Riding in my exercise bike with a wide seat is a lot more comfortable than riding on a real bike for me. The real bike seat rubs between my thighs in my crotch area and hurts REALLY bad. Like we are talking it hurts to walk after going for a 30 min ride. I was wondering why bike seats couldn't just be big and wide like they are on my exercise bike.

Well whatever saddle came stock on your bike is likely pretty bad too. The proper fit would be so that only your ass bones are making contact with the saddle, a lot of exercise bikes have fairly big seats but they're generally made with proper firmness and no nose so only your butt is making contact with it, your thighs arent rubbing against it and its not putting pressure on soft tissue. Saddles are highly subjective really and its hard to explain, but unless your chair is realllllyyy low (see recumbent bikes) you're eventually gonna develop some weird chafing issues and possibly saddle sores if you're getting your full hour of exercise a day in it.

Yeah, a few people did. I don't remember much, but I remember that there was a pretty long list of people who had been taken advantage of with those. Was the thread back on [redacted]? This whole mturk thing seems to blur together when it comes to time..

You may try April or May. I mentioned it when I saw one last night. It was when I first started.
