01/08 - Monday's Meekly Mrap-Up

Hello!

Over two years ago, you did a research study HIT related to solving complex web search tasks. To jog your memory, one of the tasks would have been, "If you wanted to travel by ferry to a country where many natives believe in elves, in what city would you land?".

We are now doing a follow-up study consisting of similar web search tasks. This study is UNPAID and will not be done through Mechanical Turk. So you should only do it if you enjoyed these tasks, have some free time, and want to help us out! If you are interested, go to the following link:

Thank you for your time!

I'm so used to living in a desert area now, that I forgot that rain means I can't go skating. Did I walk outside with my skates before I realized that? Yes.Yes, I did.

I was going to post a gif of someone rocking the blades in the rain, then tease you about wimp something something...

Not even one gif of someone roller blading in the rain.

So here's a dog in slippers

Spoiler

 

I would legit possibly die skating downhill in the rain. I would have 0 traction lol.

I like not being dead!

 

But imagine how much fun you would have on your way to your death.

 

With very good reason.

I bought a butt load of water so I can flush my butt load!!!

 

It was called The Big Fig. It's a local brew. /was since it was so poorly received that they don't make it anymore.

 

This can't be normal right? Even 10 and 25 cents can't be caught.
