    Delayed and he probably won't see this, but I'll do it anyway.

    20/5(2*2)

    It's a weird thing. Some see that as '20 divided by 5 times (2*2)'. They say you do the parenthesis first, turning it into '20 divided by 5 times 4'. With the left-to-right pedmas, you divide 20 into 5 first, making it 4. Then 4*4=16.

    The way I was taught, everything connected to a parenthesis was part of the parenthesis, and apparently I actually get nerd rage over it being 1 and not 16. They way they played with foil and stuff convinced me of that.

    At the end of the day, the real problem is that it's a poorly written problem.

    Maybe though who knows as there are people who have claimed to only do surveys and gotten masters which seems to cast some doubt of needing to do AR-WA hits to get masters.

    I cook as much as possible in cast iron. The only things I don't cook in CI is things I have no choice about, things that require a pot(haven't located one yet) or a cookie sheet, except biscuits, they get baked in a CI pan too.. Cake is great in cast iron as well.

    The only thing I've made is corn bread. I mainly use mine to cook fried foods in like chicken and pork chops.

    This is pretty much what I went with there is no reason for either one of those to be "more right" then the other. The fact is they are both equally wrong because they are both poorly defined. Had one used a horizontal bar or parenthesis to properly group things there would be no confusion and that would be the proper way to right it. Being upset someone got either of those answers is like being upset when you say this sentence

    "The Dean of Students and Ms. Hashimoto asked the faculty to return the questionnaires to her office" and they bring it to the wrong office. You didn't clearly specify what you wanted now you can argue well in language the pronoun should refer to the last applicable noun but that is an arbitrary rule and should you penalize someone for not getting that right.

    I love my cast iron pan for making steaks. Get a nice thick steak sear it on stove and then pop the pan in the office and it is delicious.

    I've got pans for certain things. One for eggs, one for grilled cheese, one for steaks and such, one for cakes/brownies, another for cornbread, etc. Main reason is just so everything get uses every now and then lol

    Mmmm cast iron is AWESOME for making cajun chicken. If you like super spicy, you've gotta make it this way :) (Seriously will cough while it is cooking lol)

    Yeah, crap problem is the key issue. I think part of why I get nerdragey over it is because if you were trying to solve for a variable, say replace one of the twos with an x, it should be safe to assume that it's 20/ 5(2x) and not 20/5 * 2x. But that's just my algebra-loving brain spazzing out over a shit question, ha!

    clearly I need to go back to school.

    re crowdsource scripts, I am using this one, seems to work really well

    https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/6232-jr-crowdsource-keyword-ranking-mturk-com-scripts

    Description: This script makes it easier to do those Keywords on Google search sites. It should work for any Google country.

    Directions for the majority of hits:

    There should be a search button after the keyword or question. Clicking on the button will take you to a Google page that displays 50 results. It does this so you won't need to go to all 5 pages. It will know which page a result should be on. On the Google search page you will see a box on the right side which is movable by you. It will stay on screen even when scrolling the page. This box will have instructions and the URL or question that you need to find. Along the left side of the screen each result has a select button which you can press to select that result. The script will color the button red for an exact match for a URL. Purple button means it's a close match so check it to see if it's close enough. If you click on the button it will load up the page and show the same box with different instructions, buttons and question. Answer the question and click on the buttons to send the selected answer, URL or type in your own answer in the text box.

    Instruction/Question box instructions:

    You can move the box around the screen if it's in the way. Just click it and move it. You can press the F9 key to hide or show it. The box will start out solid but will go transparent when you move your mouse away so you can see the page better. The selection button will send whatever you have selected on the page as the answer. The URL button sends the URL of the page as the answer. The close page button closes the page and goes back to Google search or back to the hit page. The none button will send none as your answer. The text input is for you to answer a question yourself if you can't select it on the page. Send answer button sends what you have typed or what you have selected. You can use keyboard shortcuts to make it easier:

    Not too unique but I have a couple pieces that are collectible. I've made an agreement with the fiancee I won't search for any other pieces until after Christmas and I've already missed some nice stuff lol. I only have maybe two dozen pieces at the moment.

    Scraper landed the "Linguistics Soundlab Experiment - Syllable Memory" $3 activity.

    Repetitive, but somewhat interesting.

    I remember you asking me the last conversation about cast iron, what my pieces were. I have no idea honestly...Most all were my great-grandmothers and grandma's...and I've picked a few pieces up at random. I wouldn't take anything for mine! Fried taters just ain't fried taters unless they are fried in cast iron...lol
