not vegetarian, but with cat food so scarce, if i had stayed where i was living, i did threaten to purchase cheaper chicken at walmart or aldi's and throw it in the crockpot or in your case you can do it in your insta pot? Then give them the chicken with their dry food so they got their nutrients. of course, i doubt the cats would have thought it a threat.
one caution though, that expensive food probably has lots of liquids with nutrients in it for your dog. i think it's to help with dehydration in some cases as well as a special digestible diet for them. that was the case when i had to get it for certain cats, though they'd never eat it. did have one cat one time that went in for hydration treatments which with the vet i was using at the time, weren't expensive and they helped.
they did hydrate him. He seems to be drinking a bit, now. I DO have crock pots (THREE!!) That's a great suggestion. I can crockpot :).

He lost about 10 pounds so it was a really dramatic problem. They gave me an anti-nausea med yesterday, but she said if it's something worse - that will just hide the problem. So, I watched and waited last night. And he did fine. Perhaps he's okay? It's so hard to tell. But if he does okay today - I'm going to feel like it might be okay....

try mixing it with the expensive food the vet sold you. that way he'll get some benefit of it hopefully.

GM turkers. I'm back turking after a 18-month hiatus, working in the real world. I'm using MTurk Suite as I always did before but I'm also trying out MTurk Guru because it auto accepts hits and has qualification hits in its drawer. Has anyone used Queuebicle? I tried to sign up but I haven't got the invitation email yet. I'm trying to find the correct combination of extensions and scripts to optimize my earnings but am finding a lack of resources or discussion. How has it been Turking over the past 6 months? Are you guys making decent money or has it been a struggle?

Using a script from some random indian guy , i wouldn't trust anyone with my Amazon info. Just beware with TG. I have Q on my laptop but never use it, i get it for free bec i'm one of the oldest member on that forum. I do 99% batches so none of those scripts do me any good . Turking has gone down hill from the golden days, just acquire quals , that's the only thing that will save your life.

Was never one for batch HITS. I've been going through the quals with a fine tooth comb. I can handle just about anything except those boxing segment HITs. I won't subject myself to that sort of torture. boxing and receipt transcription. I would kill for master qual. I'm a couple hundred away from getting my 5000 HITs completed qual. Hopefully, that opens some doors. If Q isn't worth the trouble then I guess I won't bother with it. I used to have TA, even paid for it, but I can't find that script anywhere anymore. I really liked that script. It was one of the most powerful scripts I've come across but not the most user-friendly.

You might want to start getting into batches, just for reference this was my earnings yesterday just doing batches and maybe just 1 survey all day

What is the best way to identify batches? I assume that there are qualifications I just don't have at the moment. The only batches I see are for 0.01 (most of the time). Thanks in advance for the help!

that is impressive. I would love to make that per day. What kind of batch HIT was that? PM me if you have the time and inclination. I could really use some help or direction. I got laid off last week so...

Turk-Guru / com (India) is an extension and Google-Chrome checks them before putting them in the store, although there are external software that can tell you if an extension is malicious. From my personal debugging and reverse engineering I can tell you that as an extension it is ok! However, if MTurk allows these scripts, I suppose it also has an antidote, they are not miraculous and many are obsolete, from 2014/15 I believe ..

I can't answer your scripts questions,
but I can tell you that, in general - turking continues to go downhill :(
