    but we like a leader that is without reasons, one that will accidentally on purpose delete accounts on a whim.

    Ronnie Mac bb!

    For people who aren’t familiar, Ronnie Mac is a collection of people (most likely) parading as one racer. He is sponsored by pbr, wears overalls, his entire crew wears hats with mullets attached, and he’s generally a shit talking, faux red neck, personality.

    It’s amazing.

    I'm rusty on Java, and have never done any serious Android programming, believe it or not. I made an extremely simple app for a Recon Jet I'd bought in the last year, and that's the extent of my Android experience.

    I went on hiatus from programming around the time the first Android handset was released. My closest buddy that went to the same tech school I did got his hands on one as soon as it was released, got all excited about it, and put together a ringtone-shuffling app that hit the top of the charts. I just couldn't get into it, his excitement made no sense to me, and I was more concerned with girls and life to really care.

    However, Android programming is definitely on my "interests" list now. Dunno when I'll end up getting around to it, though, with all of the other directions I'd also like to take.

    Speaking of mobile, I've also been working on some mobile-specific versions of scripts to modify the UI of some of the mindless penny-pushers (i.e., Interest Audits), so that you can easily work on those when you're in line at the grocery store, on the pot, etc. Also want to write some code that will let your Panda Crazy at home know when you've solved a captcha on your mobile, so it can unpause and keep pumping those penny HITs to your phone.

    From what I can tell, he has started posting the .80 US one at 6:10am, and they sort of drop at random until 8:30 or so (not sure which are returns and which are fresh drops, I just know I keep catching them). The international HITs begin around 1:10am and I've caught them as late as 3:45am.

    And like someone else mentioned, run your pandas on worker first and foremost, as www PC has not been working as well.

    EDIT: Sorry, this is referring to EST.

    I run the .80 and .40 pandas and sometimes I wake up (around 0500 est) to them in my queue. Sometimes looking at the log I they just expired out of my queue, and sometimes I catch them an hour after that :dunno:

    I read that as “my closet buddy,” and I was thinking, “ dayum! He should be who he wants to be without shame!”

    Closet, closest. Same diff, right?

    I completely understand. I had a few months hiatus myself, for personal reasons, and getting back into the swing of things was rough at first. But I'm two months in, and doing decently again. This forum helped a lot. Good luck to you!

    For those looking for particular C-SATS groupIDs I have been trying to add more to the wiki and keep them updated should they change. I have not added to it in the last few days but I want to confirm the groupIDs are indeed working prior to adding them.

    You need to understand where you are. This is not a coding forum. You are talking about some advanced concepts when most people here have never written a "Hello World!" script.

    Call people snowflakes all you want, but there are all kinds of people on this forum. You commented the other day how many turkers are loners. I'm not criticizing that, because I know you more or less meant that we are physically alone while we work usually. But think about what other types of people mturk attracts. There are a lot of people here with social anxiety, and struggle with mental illnesses of various kinds. You are making the mistake of thinking that just because people code, they think the same way as you about it.

    Maybe it would feel different if you didn't come here guns blazing on these topics and you had more of a rapport with the people who are writing these scripts. So once again, I just want to remind you where you are, and maybe just for a second, think about how your code used to look.

    Stepped away for a while. Went to get some pizza & wings from a place I used to go to all the time but haven't been in 10 years. Super expensive (because we're among da rich folk here) but totally worth it.

    Gonna try to turk for bit. Hopefully. :emoji_fingers_crossed:
