    So fun story. I was looking forward to the Sims 1 coming out. I got it day 1 of release, loaded it up, got my guy, he was all happy with his empty house...I set up his kitchen and told him to go make himself some lunch in the microwave. No problem.

    Next thing I know he set the whole damn house on fire and I realized that I gave him a toaster oven which he then used to burn down the house. Either he was an idiot who failed at life, or he was trying to get the insurance money.

    Most folks did (hence the large amount of discussion surrounding it today, it'll die down in a batch or two). The only folks who didn't that I know of are the old fogies like me who got capped last year w/o getting it 'cause I suck at categorizing YT videos lol.

    Nope.. Probably wont be seen again til this time next year -,-

    I spent over 20 minutes trying to use this Jason snapchat filter on Jason for @Jesicu so I had to immortalize it in a gif when I finally got it to work

    I got 70-some of them in and didn't get it...if it was the top 5%, then doing more was probably actually worse for your chances.

    Many requesters limit the amount of people who have their quals. But there's no word from sergey on why some got it and others didn't. One reason is likely how well the test batch was done, don't know beyond that. I think someone who did 20-something of them got it though.

    That was my email from the one they posted last year. He must have figured out how to do it without giving out penny bonuses this time.

    Week 8 of chemo for my poor wife. I just stop in and turk a bit to detach for a while. You folks are great! And I made a few bucks whilst pondering the great mysteries of Turkerhub! Now back to the Friday the 13th medical scene. Have fun and make lotsa moolah, and don't accept any candy from strangers today! :flail: :blink: :ba: :wave:

    damn, I'm always late lol is there a way to get notifications when quals go up or is it something based on sheer luck of being around when it happens?
