06/26 There's the Thread Thursday

I'm already sweating time for ac I guess.

 

"Which social media platforms do you use?"

Why do those questions usually list only the old ones?
Some people use the "new" ones.

Like, if someone is on Bluesky or Threads or Mastodon or other "new" platform ...
it often isn't listed in the question (and there isn't even an "Other" option).

 

Also, I had emailed this Chris UT guy before doing both surveys, b/c they were both different but he said don't do multiple so I wanted clarification. He said it was fine to do both, then rejected me. I hope fire ants steal his lunch.

 

I haven't opened Turk since Monday morning and today I didn't even open Connect because I've been making bank on Prolific all week. I thought walking to the store at 8am was my best bet but even then the heat index had it at 97. It's currently 105. The weather app on my pc says it's gonna rain in 2.5 hours and for the first time all year I'm actually praying for. I have no problem walking in rain. I have huge problems walking in hell. Hell, I'm not even supposed to still be in Louisville...

 

there it is

 

@malysa , we've got that heat where I am right now too, but I'm also hearing thunder from somewhere, so here's hoping we both get some rain soon!

screener thingy for a future hit

 

Just saw a participation agreement page state that it is offered in Braille..like is there a special printer or something that takes care of that? They gonna mail it to me before the timer runs out?

 

Braille embossers exist.
They can emboss braille dots onto paper.

There are also "braille displays," with electronically-activated braille dots.

 

I am number 1

Interesting! Never really came across that information before.

(unrelated note, the requester for the "click the odd-one out" tasks responded to my mail last night saying 5 per batch is fine).
