    Hello. Thanks for playing the fitness game today!

    Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

    So, I get none right. 50 cents. Get 3 right 75 cents. Get 21 right 75 cents.

    Meh...

    Yeah that's another problem I've noticed. I usually have it show a minimum of 20 or so and I'm getting down to 13 in a batch. I'll just assume it's borked and will eventually get updated at some point. It's not really a huge deal since I *think* everything is showing anyway. Just looks kind of funky.

    My turking strategy changes whenever I'm not happy with my current results. Sometimes I use two scrapers, usually I just use one. Sometimes I run pandas, other times I don't.

    My BF has one and it very glitchy. Ask about football game scores and it usually can find the answer, but the response to many other questions is "Sorry I didn't understand the question I heard." Get's annoying. Siri, on the other hand is much more personable, can find more answers, and more humorous responses.

    For more fun, google Echo or Siri easter eggs for a list questions to ask and get offbeat answers.

    I'm glad it wasn't just me. Those blocks are horrible for my self esteem. :(

    I only did 1 hit for them that was approved so I have to assume this was their way of making sure people don't do the same hits again. It was just done in a very stupid way.
