deepfriedegg? I got it too

"I'm new to Mturk and noticed you're pretty active (at least on this site) and I wanted to get your advice.
Any tips for new members?
If you have a wish list for things you could make better about Mturk, what would it be?"

 

I wonder how much Photoshop work they did on Tyra Banks on the cover of the S.I. Swimsuit edition

pretty sure it's siddharth suri looking for juicy insider info

 

@SAJ just said the same thing weird week, FWIW if anyone is hanging around and you ever have questions honestly the daily thread is a perfectly fine place to ask 99% of folks really don't mind and if they know the answer they'll answer lol. Sometimes legit no one knows so if you end up asking something that goes unanswered always safe to @ me, I may not see the original message but I'll at the very least followup with a heads up it's not something likely to be answerable

 

OMG. Guys.

Whoever gets these DMs please start replying with bogus stuff. Just. In. Case.

I've received a few and just deleted them but from now on? Hm.

 

"If you have a wish list for things you could make better about Mturk, what would it be?""


seems a bit unusual of a quetsion in a DM

Thanks again for your contribution. In that stage of the project, I
was using a statistical model to qualify and un-qualify workers based
on whether they were giving responses that were similar to those of
their fellow coders.

After analyzing the data, I found that this method was not
a very good indicator of code quality.

 

No...really?

You have no recent conversations.

Everything is perfectly normal here

 

Like not from a normal person. suspicious.

 

Kiddo has a Dr. appt. today finally. And, of course, as it always happens as you will soon learn always seems to happen @ChrisTurk , by the time I've decided to make an appointment for kid and go to the doctor, the kid starts getting better just before the appointment.

Which I am happy with because Kiddo has only had a fever for four days with no other symptoms and my brain was starting to make up some pretty scary reasons for that. He woke up this morning with barely a fever (first time since Monday, been up around 102 this whole week) and massive congestion. So yay, it's not some weird internal infection that's eating his organs! Woot!

 

Man.......grumpy cat died guys.

 

All the newbies trying to DM leafs4_cup to ask questions just leaving in exasperated silence though Kawhi what are you doinggg

 

Yeah...pay for our survey answers like everyone else!
