I just mindlessly stuck my hand over the spout of a boiling kettle and steam-cleaned my palm. I don't think there's any serious damage, but there's definitely, like, some pain involved.

Anyone got a good home remedy for minor burns?

This might sound odd, and not everyone has access to it, but breast milk works great.

I had a wok over a 55k BTU burner getting ready to stir fry and splashed the hot oil (from the glowing hot wok) on my hand/wrist/arm. Hurt like hell, but I have no scars today.

You do realize that I break 100 more often than not, right? This is how I pay my bills. You did not get fucked. The requester does not owe you anything beyond the already generous six dollars you made from a quick an easy task. Whinging about bonus payments does not make you look like a high earner, but rather a spoiled brat.

Dang I must really suck at math

 

[UsernameHere]

I have a goal above 10$ as well and I still don't spit in the face of 3$. That's your cup of coffee this morning. That's your starbucks. That's you next burger. It's a shitty way to be. I did the same study and got nothing. It sounds spoiled to spit at any money.

I don't waste my money on frivolous shit like Starbucks. [Mod Edit] I am a little more competitive than live, and let live, and I would have been more pissed if I had got nothing. I don't give a fuck how it sounds. I have rent to pay.

Thanks!

"nah, the last time I used one updates worked fine, just get a good activator"

I will look into this further. Thanks!

Just a couple of tips.
1. Careful of what you download and where you download it from. Using Google will yield very poor results and most of the links from a search will lead to downloads with some form of malware in it.

2. Your best bet would be to use either DuckDuckGo or try to find a download on the my digital life forums (It's where most of the groups that write and maintain these activators keep their official releases.

3. I've had the best luck with Microsoft Toolkit.

4. Create a backup/restore point before attempting to use your activator.

Yeah, I have daily goal that is not $10. Regardless of everything you said, It is still the same amount of work as everyone else, for a shit ton less money. The fact it was chance/luck, and I got fucked, doesn't make me like it.

It really benefits you to learn to ignore things like random bonuses and stuff like that. Hell, a lot of surveys will post and be underpaid and then pop up a couple days later for double what you had done it for. It does suck but it's part of how the turk world operates.

There is an incredibly high burnout rate in this job. The best way to avoid it is to focus on how you do against the benchmarks that you set for yourself and not take it personally when you occasionally get fucked over by requesters. Believe me, I have learned the hard way over 8 years of doing this.

Take a deep breath and move on to the next task when bad shit happens. The moment is done with and the only thing you can do is let it get buried in the past where it belongs.
