12/08 - Thirsty Thursday!

That's the short bus, not the train.

 

@THFYM @Melting Glacier get 'em boys.

 

You will be taking part in two different studies.

The first study attempts to understand people's thoughts and feelings when they travel.

Therefore, you must be traveling right now (e.g., on a train, bus, or in a car).

-----------------------------------------------

I tried to do this study on my cell phone while driving across town. Unfortunately, I just crashed into a family of 4, killing them all. I won't be able to finish this, so I am returning it if somebody else wants to do it.

 

HS going off. I feel like Pavlov's dog whenever it dings.

 

where's adaaaam when you need him?

 

He is still in that facebook group if you wish to contact him.

 

@ChrisTurk Would you be willing to give us a breakdown on what you've spent so far and how much monthly server costs are?

Don't read that as me trying to question you or anything but that if people know what you're spending they can make a decision on how much to donate. If you've got a couple of grand in the site I feel like a chump donating 5 bucks. At the same time I'm not made of money here so if it's $3.50 a month to run the site I can put a $100 donation to better use.

My Hit Scraper updated this week and now it won't ding at all. I can't figure out why.

 

Where are the PFAs of which you speak? LIAR @WimpLo

In other news, did we decide AWS HubSpot - Company Names were good albeit under paid? I think someone called them a poor man's zoltar? In the mood for mindless batch today, as my antibiotics are kicking my ass and leaving me without much mental capacity today.

And did someone have a link to a script/addon that allows you to copy information from the tab of a site?

If you can average them within 10-15 seconds they are ok.

 

You can see what the forum software itself cost here: https://xenforo.com/purchase/ and then if I was hosting the server on a dedicated barebones linux server I would expect to pay at least $20/mo but honestly I can see paying more for a easier hosting solution instead of dedicated server.

You would have to wait for @ChrisTurk to respond for the real server cost numbers though.

 

Getting throttled like crazy with AWS Company names.

 

How do you all feel about letting timers sit for a while? That $4.50 read sentences and answer questions hit that was expected to take 45 minutes only took me about 10.
