    Lol. I can't even calculate my hourly since work is so random

    For me sometimes I make:

    A lot per hour.
    Okay per hour.
    No work available I'm watching videos.

    I think the problem is the difference between likely and unlikely can hinge on a grammar error, which could be valid for both meanings, and sometimes there aren't two strong likely candidates, so you're forced to gamble on a second unlikely as the second best response.

    As an example, in/on could form two valid, grammatical sentences, but putting your hand on a blender and putting your hand in a blender is the difference between being struck by lightning and being struck by a lightning bug.

    The other problem is "gibberish" should probably be changed to "impossible" to reduce the natural inclination to mark grossly ungrammatical sentences as gibberish.

    I'm not griping though, I think it's dead decent of him to put the qual test back up. I wish more requesters did that; if you want a certain quality of work, expose the user to multiple examples of what you want with feedback to train them and most workers will do their best to provide you the data you're after. (unlike a certain requester from a university from Ithaca)

    I know my hourly on certain batches and requesters that I do normally. But can't calculate it with the downtime.

    My favorite batch is roughly $40/hr. Does that count? Trying to calculate hourly over an entire day on mturk is pretty futile. If nothing's dropping, nothing's dropping and your time is best spent on other pursuits.

    Zelda II flashbacks :eek:. Damn that game was hard. I replayed it like 2 years ago on the Wii U and it was still as difficult as ever.

    I still have my GBA cart for it. I think I still have my save file from it too. I never did find that hammer.

    I am doing it but you can say I am lazy as well because right now I am taking 10-15 minutes to do it..(It normally only takes 1.5 to 3 minutes unless you read fast then maybe a minute).

    Why are there so many beds that are actually for teeny tiny cats in the dog bed section?

    Mine is powered by saw horses. Vroom vroom.

    I just had matt build it to my exact specifications and I use a high desk chair and a monitor that can adjust up and down easily.
