    There's a script called Captcha Clear which allows users to clear captchas while in the middle of a heavily contested batch. This hit is to use to clear captchas and then return.

    The HIT is only used to clear captcha's. You don't actually submit it. He made it because there have been some people that have gotten blocks for using regular HITs to clear a captcha and then just returning the HIT.

    Ugh... I have been having crap shipped to my house for three weeks with nary and issue and now that I have four packages left that didn't get here in time I have nothing but issues...

    My ps4 is stuck in forwarding hell because my husband didn't pay attention and shipped it to our old address... no clue when that will show up
    Fedex "Delivered" yet another package that was not on my porch. Last time someone three streets over had it and they were nice enough to bring it over.
    USPS said they tried to deliver two packages yesterday but couldn't and left a notice... no notice. Not even regular mail service yesterday... dumbasses blargh.

    If you catch it in time, you can always ask them to keep the package at their office, for you to pick up.....Assuming that you did not move across the country. I have done it a couple of times when shipments were not delivered because I was not home, and got tired of playing tag with the Fedex dude.

    I had one of those last week that sounded like a 80's big hair rehash in the folk music category. Figured they had it wrong, or I was getting old and out of touch.

    We only moved 2 miles away when we bought a house. I tried calling the post office but that was about as useful you'd expect. I hate Fedex, they are the worst carrier. They always say they delivered stuff and yet this is the third time there was no package. Their local driver is an idiot that can't figure out addresses apparently.

    I wish they'd just go back to knocking on the door and getting a signature and if no one was home letting you come pick it up. Now they just drop it and run.

    I just noticed that this month. Every package that was delivered, usps, ups, fedex. None of them knocked. Super annoying. They can just leave it but at least let me know someone came. If I hadn't heard the trucks when they left I would never know they had been there. Also the mailman will do his best to cram a box in the mailbox whether it fits or not to avoid having to bring it to the door.

    UPS and USPS will still ring the doorbell and run most of the time, but Fedex is just a joke. I think it's crazy that they aren't responsible for replacing it if it's missing yet aren't required to give it to a live person. I wonder how many enticing looking packages go home with the delivery person but show as "delivered" to your door.

    I've had live reptiles shipped to me in the past and everytime fedex left it outside without a knock. Apparently the large print PERISHABLE and LIVE HARMLESS REPTILE mean nothing

    For my PS4 gaming friends, this is pretty bad-ass:

    http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-android-thread-t3068225

    It's a modded version of the Remote Play App for all Android devices 4.2 or better. Using the controller with it is possible but a PITA in my opinion unless you have a second DS4, and then there is still a bit of input lag. On screen controls are lag free though. Works well on both my old HiSense Sero 7 Pro (a Nexus 2012 clone with KitKat) and my ZTE ZMAX Pro phone (Marshmallow 6.0.1).

    I was considering saving for a Vita for this, but saving $200 and doing it on my own is much gooder. :D
