02/27 - Thorny Thursday!

Something about this phrase is beautiful.

 

I had a laptop too. That is actually how I started a couple of months ago before I had earned enough to build my new rig. I want to fix up the laptop since it is coming apart (Yes @Mecca, I actually dropped it) but it has also served me well for like 8 years.

Wth kind of nonsense is this? I was doing the wanhsiu hit and watched a four minute video, there was a question afterward regarding the commercial in the video and I was met with this after answering: We apologize that you aren't within the selected population of the current study. Since the main purpose of this study is to understand people's perceptions of online videos, we are looking for people who watched videos on YouTube and are able to have good audio and video capacity on their current device. We are sincerely sorry that you aren't within the target group of this study, and therefore we won't be able to provide you any code for monetary compensation. Please don't enter anything for the HIT code in the MTurk; otherwise, we will have to reject your HIT. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

 

This hit is lame, my video won't play.

 

It works on FF.

They only want people who respond a certain way. Pretty shitty to have a literal 4 minute video as a screener, though.

 

8 years, so it's heavy as fuck huh?
