When Is a Bird a ‘Birb’? An Extremely Important Guide
The internet meme has been around for seven years now, so it's high time we establish some ground rules.

Every driving school: "make sure to drive more slowly in inclement weather"

People everywhere 100% of the time it rains/snows: "I'm gonna drive 30 over the speed limit in residential areas and stop braking so I don't have to be out in the rain as long"

 

Whew, I would have been very offended by that.

JUST PLATES?! JUST PLATES?!

I've had this issue come up before. I've searched everywhere I could think of and came up with no reasonable solution for this problem. If you think of anything please let us know.

 

Rule 1: Birbs are often (though not conclusively) small. Check
Rule 2: Birbs are often (though not always) round. Go ahead, someone call me round.
Rule 3: Birbs appear cute With enough makeup and hairspray, Check

Not buying a house. Working on getting an investment/loan from a private investor/individual and we're not very familiar with each other, though they're interested and want more info. Our conversations have been very business so far and they're happy with my income and being an independent contractor, but I'm afraid they'd back out if I told them I do mturk/crowdsource type work.

 

so as a person moving back and forth with MTS catcher and Panda Crazy, i can totally see the differences between the two and the trade offs. IMO PC is nice since i dont have to manually add the hit info each hit i input in it, but jfc i can see what someone said about the PREs being insane. my PRE count is around 100 and ive only used PC around three hours now.

 

I haven't told them "Amazon" yet but I guess that's my next step so thanks, and maybe will just say they don't give invoices or billing. I am afraid though that they're going to want more info after that because they seem curious about it.

 

Do you do C-SATS? Tell them you're evaluating other surgeons' performance for a living.


p.s. don't actually tell them that lol

 

In three hours you can send ~10,000 requests.

100 errors in 10,000 requests is too low IMO

 

could throw them your yearly earnings statement from here too. i did a car loan with almost NO issues from a bank with just saying what i said about ind contractor for Amazon and bringing 2 years of yearly earning statements. i got the loan same day, almost no wait.

 

Darn it. Yeah, I remember having to think of something a few years ago one time but already have forgot what I said then. It's really awkward when you're in talks with something to do with career or business and someone else gets curious.

 

yeah but a day in MTS catcher i MIGHT hit...20 PRE...just a noticeable difference, PC so far has picked up $10 with me just half assing and fiddling with it, no complaints, just observations

LOL, I do work on c-sats and wish I could try that. A lot of hits are data science-y so I thought of saying that but I'm a little worried of them pressing me on stuff about data science I might not know.

 

If you're absolutely set on having no PREs, set your timer to 1017ms in Panda Crazy. If you are running Panda Crazy alone (i.e. without running HIT Catcher too at the same time), that should be just high enough to not trigger PREs for most people.

But then again, 100 PREs is not something to worry about.
