    See, this is why we have a Matt bracket!

    He picked via school colors, mascots, and if he had heard of them before.

    And the losers gift might be better than the winner's gift tbh. In terms of being funny anyway.

    Ehh, I mean, no you cannot just "go without it." This isn't Neopets, it isn't a matter of want for most folks its a matter of need.

    Again I agree with all of the sentiments expressed (try to be nice, kind, grateful, etc). But this is where the truly one-sided dynamic is solidified. There is insane pressure to use scripts if you want to work on mTurk, and the free ones are the only option for the 99.5% of people who cannot learn to code. And no, not everyone can just pick up JS like its nothing.

    If you publicly drop a script, and its halfway decent, you are absolutely forcing people to use it because you are directly playing with the economic balance of the platform, IMO.

    I think people should be critical of everything but try not to be an ass about it.

    I did the Alexa deal for the six pack of Seventh Generation soap. I've never used it before, but after tax and whatnot it came out to less than $2 a pop, which is cheaper than any brand name around me. Especially since I hate the cheap stuff. Also, it's approximately five ounces more than the bottles of Dawn I get.

    Also, now I can use the boxes to ship some stuff off to Terracycle.

    (The Amazon Music app has Alexa)

    Reminds me -- back to my internal struggle over whether to commit to Google Home/Assistant or Alexa for my planned SmartHome stuff.
