01/13 - Money on My Mind Monday!

[ChristopherASA]

Just paid a 300 dollar water bill. I love Seattle.

I've never had a $300 water bill, but I did live n Ballard for a while. Loved it.

Home buyer survey 2019 - some questions are optional but survey monkey does not let you leave blank answers.

Couldn't tell you without knowing what's on your lists!

I went through a lot of phases. Listened to a lot of Guetta/Zedd/Tiesto for a while in 2016. Went to a Lindsey Stirling concert and listened to a lot of her stuff for a while. Would take a while to go through the whole list but even the pop songs were just better filler.

2019 I saw Hamilton and listened to the soundtrack a fair amount. Into the Spiderverse soundtrack for a week and some other movie soundtracks lol. Then it's just mostly generic pop I played when I was teaching classes. The pop definitely isn't as satisfying (probably because it was random instead of ones I chose) but I didn't even have any notable phases last year. It might be me

They're page request errors. Basically, it means you're refreshing the page and not getting anything useful, so it can slow down pandas because they aren't able to accept work.

There's also this somewhat more alarming take, which is worth at least considering, although some PREs are inevitable because you gotta go fast to get some stuff so I wouldn't stress about it too hard.

Ah, that's about what I figured it was but I never really thought much into it.
I rack up 100's of PRE's daily so that post is somewhat concerning, but I have no idea if it should be taken with a grain of salt or not....

2020 is your year to have some notable phases!

I'm going to give you a somewhat random suggestion marginally based on what I can assume from your preferences cuz it's not like I'm busy right now.

Check out Rudimental. They're a British drum & bass band with a pop-y sound and they use a lot of really awesome vocalists for their tracks. Some songs I like: Last Time, Let Me Live, Feel the Love... They're very versatile.

Though this week I've had Alicia Keys' new track Time Machine on repeat because it's unexpectedly very up my alley.

If you do this, can you let me know how ridiculous it is? I caught it as soon as it popped up but it sounds crazy so I'm just letting it sit for a minute

I usually just click the panda button on everything that I think I qualify for and just leave it running until I log off. Right now I've got 3 but usually it's more. Should I be doing something differently? Panda Crazy still confuses me for the most part.

Sorry, I got distracted with some work for a bit.

As others have said, I think the fewer you have running the better (my own personal preference is no more than 2 or 3 at a time). Another good thing to do, I think, is to keep an eye on the timers of the HITs that you're running pandas for. Your best chances for catching a HIT are going to be when it posts of course, but there's also a good chance to catch some stuff when the timer expires. After that, I think it becomes quite a bit harder to catch something, unless someone that picked it up later returns it or it posts again. If you're running a panda for a HIT with a 1 hour timer and it has been over an hour, it may be better to stop that panda so you can prioritize something else. I think a big part of catching stuff is in how well you manage those few pandas that you're running.
