I have a few programs I can recommend to restore things (free ones). But stop touching it right this second before you possibly rewrite over information and possibly ruin changes of getting it back

Honestly there wasn't anything I can't get back. I didn't have many searches on it and can just re-add them. More annoying than anything else. Thanks though

I can't believe people would do this and violate the sanctity, the sacredness of a site that helped everyone by catching the Boston marathon bombers. It's like we have no respect for heroes anymore.

This is a reply I got from Jeff Ramdass to a note I sent to him yesterday; and my note to him is below that. I did not do his HIT:

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for your email, and for your kind words. I Googled "Jeff Ramdass, Bonus, MTurk" and I think I found the message forum where the bonus message was originally posted, and where your reply was also posted.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Please pass my well-wishes to the message board as well: you and the worker group's messages have made my day!


Cheers,

-Jeff

Jeff:

I'm a Turker, and just read on one of our worker forums how you awarded a "$0.50 bonus stating [your] survey took longer than usual."

What you did is outstanding, and I just wanted to thank you and congratulate you for being so generous, and *honest.*

Humongous kudos to you, sir.

With the best possible regards, I am

Christopher A. Steele

His name is RamDass? Interesting. I used to have a mala from 'the' Ram Dass (I gave it to someone who needed it, his brother was dying).

sorry, this is off topic, but does anyone know how to look up a rental/eviction history for free, or really cheap?

If they were evicted in court there would be a record of this with the county the eviction happened in.

Hey, not bad though I assumed you were a PhD student.

that's how I discovered reddit. What an insane day of stupidity.

yay bonuses
Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus from NerdLab Lab Group for work related to 3BAKUKE49HCR46RSBVYFT8LGYC51RF.
The value of your bonus is: $0.40 USD

The Requester included this note:
Hello,

You recently completed this HIT wherein we estimated that the average time to complete was approximately 8 minutes (and so we paid $0.80). However, upon receiving all of the responses and some feedback from participants, we realized that that average time was underestimated and, in fact, the average time to complete was 12 minutes. This underestimation was not intentional and was the fault of the researcher who believed the HIT would take much less time than it did and did not fully account for lack of familiarity with the questions.

As such, we are granting you a $0.40 bonus to compensate all participants for the time not accounted for in the original payment amount. We hope that you accept our apologies for the underestimation and thank you again for your participation in the survey. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you!

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

Haha, nope. I am not Dana. But I follow her on Twitter since she's posted HIT before herself, and so I saw this tweet from her this morning.

Reddit being shite in general is how that happens.

Wellbutrin made me vomit every time I got stoned.
So basically I was vomiting all day.

Yeah, no, fuck that. And I thought the hallucinations on Ambien were bad... I'd definitely rather have rainbow water talk to me, an evil clown rising up out of my laundry bag, and roll down the hallway for more than an hour than puke every time I toked.

Chantix made me sick to my stomach, but I had awesome dreams. Now my sister on the other hand....Well she is bipolar and other things I won't say. She was on it for 4 weeks and let me tell ya...she scared the crap out of me. Chantix is definitely not for everyone that's for sure.

I'm also bipolar and other things, so I will heed that as a warning and steer clear of it.
