01/24 - Two Four Six Eight Friday!

It sounds like you guys needed each other and love each other. That's the best way to find a new furry friend.

I love cats so much. Everything about them is purrfect.

 

Not sure!
I've just enjoyed so much terrific television that;s been based in Liverpool that I like these people on general principal!
And the Beatles were okay in my book, too!

 

And you think that because ....

 

I know some of you demented souls helped write some of these:

Honestly I doubt it though cause these are kind of awful.

Nothing lewd or that needs to be censored, just really bad human morals.

 

I have to say I think it's extra awesome when people who aren't total cat people take care of stray cats. That makes you a good person in my book! Spence was taken care of by my neighbor who said, "I'm not a cat person" but she's feeding two cats outdoors and I just saw she added a small cat house to her front porch for the other cat she's still feeding.

You're good people!

I am a cat person and while I have zero intentions of getting a fourth cat, should one show up in my yard I'd totally take care of it. (That's how I got my cat Lotta, she just showed up and four years later she's still with us.)

Pros:
First you have to pass an unpaid qual test. I took the full 15 minutes on that. If you have the first qual, you probably received an email.

Cons:
I hoped I'd do better, but for some answers I narrowed the answers down to 2 out of the 4 and just went with a guess to get it over with, and lost. Not fun.

Anyone have a solution to Panda Crazy won't keep collecting when you press GoHam?

Are you getting PREs?

 

A couple but no more than usual.

 

Is it on any HIT or something specific? I believe some HITs only allow you to have them in your queue once, that is to say if you've had them in your queue, you've not worked on them in time and they've been returned, you're not allowed those back. If that was the case it may appear HITs were there but not allow you to get them.

Someone more intelligent than me can confirm if that's the case.

Otherwise if you're using GoHam and hitting MTURK with a bunch of search requests you could be generating PREs which is stopping you/slowing you down from getting them.

The only other things I can think of would be if they're all gone...or if your queue is full. I think 25 is the limit.

 

It's been on any batch I have tried today. It just turns off ham when it catches one and I have to press it again etc.

 

...or captcha...if you've missed a captcha alert it would stop too.

 

Do you have "once" turned on?

 

ahhh, what @Kan Du said then...

 

Where do I see that....?
