01/20 Sunday Bloody Sunday, er, Sunday

Hi y'all! I haven't turked in a while. Is there a quick way to find out what scripts I have installed? Also my link to HitScraper isn't working anymore???

when I go up to greasemonkey, the dropdown menu has them all right there.

 

[HelloHello]

Have a good afternoon everyone! I made $1.25 But, my main goal was to do some online shopping. Now time to relax and do even less.

It amazes me how mentally intense online shopping is. I did some last night (a couple of goodies and some necessities) and now I am debating over ordering some microfiber pads for the Swifter to get away from the expensive disposable ones . . .

Remember if you haven't already to contact mturk-worker-support@amazon.com and tell them you find the weekly worker activity report useful, otherwise they're stopping it on February 10th.

I'd still love to know whose input they're apparently listening to on stuff like this as it seems consistently bad.

My belief is that they simply wanted to save time and money and they just said it came from the workers to avoid a dispute.

It is currently 10 degrees (feels like -3 according to weather channel) and it is supposed to be -6 (with something like -20 windchill) at 7am tomorrow. I'm already counting on my kids not having school. However I think we are done with snow or anything for now, just cold, cold and colder.

Lowest we've gotten here is 37°, and that's cold enough for me. Expensive to run this darn space heater all day and most of the night.

I decided today would be a good day to go out and socialize with a few old friends, mturk tends to deprive me of human contact lol. Looks like i didn't miss anything while i was gone though.

It's best not to judge a Turking day by what I make.

It sounds to me like you really have a pretty good life, my friend, everything taken into account. [envy emoticon]

Yeah when its this cold out, we are miserable in our house (built in 1848). Right now we have an electric heater, a propane wall heater, and our wood stove going. Its 60-70 depending on where you are in the house, but we are definitely paying for it!

Uh oh. Just did two ML Researcher HITs, then looked at the TO.

They rejected 14 of my HITs a couple of days ago. GREG SMASH

I don't think there really was a "whose input" involved. I think it was invented out of whole cloth.

I'm trying to find out who they really are, in the hope there may be an IRB for them.

Grass is always greener. I left this island at age 18 saying I'd never return, and here I am pushing 50 and... well, I'm back. I lived in Boston and SF for most of my adult life. It's not bad here. There's no crime, I have friends on the island so It's not too isolating. It's very remote - the closest movie theater is like a 30 minute drive away. In the summer it's choked with tourists.

I actually paid off the mortgage and gifted back my father a life tenancy couple of weeks ago, mostly so that I wouldn't be homeless and completely broke if he needs nursing care. It killed my savings to do it, but it's worth it. I have been looking after him more than I've been working, and that really hits the lifetime PE...

I know exactly what you mean. Before I moved back to Maine, I lived in Salem, MA. My house was built in 1708. Put a lot of love into that house, but it was not warm unless you slept on a run next to the fireplace.

I posted one of these little guys last year
I want one (when they are good)

Caught a $3 survey, supposedly only 10ish minutes. Andddd, my husband was like "Alright, we need to go to Costco now!"

 

[HelloHello]

Emptying and reusing last remaining coffee filter so I don't have to go out!

I've got my fireplace going. It's 50 degrees.

I'm on the board with 3 cents.
