03/03 - Fascinating Friday!

Sometimes I have to go into chrome's extensions, disable tampermoneky, and then reenable it to get it to work again when that happens. Who the hell knows why, but that worked for me, thanks to @CorvusSapiens .

can confirm, stupid fast (2 min) and still around as of 10 minutes ago.

You should become a special mod - you don't get a ban hammer, you get a grammar hammer.

@SeDuCeR - we need an update to Days of as the TukerHub Lives Turn to cover all these murders

A lurker made an account to post his bonus because they asked him nicely. So I think they've gone out already. Just search Daytona 500 and I'm sure you'll find it.

@WimpLo - I'm waiting for the list of no writing ones....chop chop

...She's asking the internet for cat pictures? can't she just google it for herself?


Now, I'm caught up, no more walls of vomit text.

 

Kind of a neat concept; I'm not sure if they really intend to bring it to market or not. But more saliently, I did those 10 this morning under 10 minutes; probably the best hourly I'll make on mturk today.

 

Oh, I tried to punch the Auk.. he was prepared.

Not sure if this was posted yet or not but it turns out that the outage earlier this week was caused by an Amazon worker. The employee was working on an issue and issued a command incorrectly. Instead of a small number of servers going down, a large amount went down.

Most of the time, I don't fuss over grammar/spelling on a forum, unless it's an obnoxious gaffe, because who likes a nit picker? Occasionally, it makes my soul cry and I'm forced to crack a joke or implode. And someone, who may or may not go by @SAJ , likes to make me crazy because he's a smartass!

 

omg this noise has been bothering the f outa me and I thought it was coming from the window but its some strange sounds coming from my 120mm fan at the back of my computer that bounces in the most disturbing of ways, seriously thinking of getting one-day shipping on the replacement lol damn its Friday tho

 

That reminds me...the PC I just replaced was so loud and the fan started running every 20 or 30 minutes for like a year. This new one has not made noise yet since I fired it up

 

brb making new accounts

 

Well I hope he enjoyed his time as an Amazon employee.
