If I'd caught a couple more of those math hits I'd have broken my personal record. Nothing shiny around these parts, but it would have made me happy.

ahhhh that brings back memories! when my family lived in idaho they had almond roasters on the streets in the winter time and they covered them in cinnamon and sugar and they were just the tastiest winter treat!

I don't, like, batter them or anything.

Just roast raw almonds at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes (depending on various factors, grab one and look for a golden brown center or a little darker if you like coffee more than nuts), then dump them in a collander or bowl and spray them with salt water (just get a cheap sprayer at the dollar store).

You can put some other seasoning in the water if it's really fine and won't clog the sprayer.

I usually put them in the freezer right after spraying (they dry instantly because, you know, 325 degrees), because they will keep cooking as they sit.

How much pie is too much?

 

[turkinlight]

Ooof. It's taking me about 3 minutes for those hotel photos hits. After doing 13 of them, I've had enough.

 

[Merovign]

I did a Hotel qual that *should* have been approved, but I didn't see any Hotel hits. :/

Can't say that it was slow on MTurk. Made some pretty good $ today.

We haven't yet reached a conclusion. No one has ever ate too much pie.

Back from recouping from surgery ouch wrist, had a week to heal ready to get back into the groove. Or die trying..
It hard to wrap with on hand. That sheet idea sounds great!

I'll probably look at them in an hour or so, but when I was doing the qual, I suspected they might not pay as well as the ones that were up last week.

They seem to be going down pretty slowly.

Frustrating to do a 30 minute qual test, and invest another 30-40 minutes in the hits for a total of about tree fiddy. The requester seems to be a good one though, so maybe it's just a trial run? Everyone seems to enjoy having the other qual, so maybe that will eventually make up for it. It was still fun to try them. Lots of pretty pictures, but I don't think I would try them again for less than 1.00 a piece.

There are instructions a couple of pages back, create a generic PandaCrazy job (I just used the Requester ID as the name) and put the requester ID in the Requester ID field.

I didn't catch any, but it was too late. It's still running so maybe later.

The ID is: A3UN1UMZN94SAZ

It was @reprise who told me that, BTW

Once I got in a rhythm, I'm knocking most of them out in closer to 1 minute each. However, a few have been huge time-sinks, but I'm getting better about IDing traits of those more quickly and just returning them immediately.

i've thrown two back that were super inconclusive and non-specific about room counts.
