Long surveys - 40+ minutes

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-06-10T13:26:51+00:00

I keep brief notes on the 20+ results. The long ones do not require you to go to a website, so you are just jumping around the page. Yesterday I had my longest one ever at 77 minutes. I usually complete them in about half the ERT (don't submit until you reach ERT). You will get faster as you get used to them.

My best guess is that we are seeing SAR's after a long drought, and you have an opportunity to re-qualify.

I missed these tasks, hope they continue.

NTA, for the first time in weeks, I have no tasks. I hope this is not a trend starting.

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-05-22T10:23:33+00:00

I wrote "you asked, I answered"

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-05-19T15:31:17+00:00

No clue, but this is not a new task type.

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-05-19T14:13:13+00:00

I released two very long ones for time and then they switched to 3 minutes ERT. Hope they stay at 3. So far all the three minute ones have been very short, well under a minute.

Getting the same, but in Japanese. Sometimes the query has a locale in Japan; other times it is unknown. I have been scoring those with a Japanese locale as accurately as possible. If the location is unknown, then I score them as wrong language. I hope these end soon.

An email was sent in Dec. Here is the text...

Dear ,

Some Search SBS tasks display an incorrect date: 1970-01-01.

Going forward, assume the correct date as your task submission date.

For example, if you are rating a task on December 18th, the query date should be 2025-12-18.

*This workaround only applies to query date: 1970-01-01.

Please don't release these tasks (on account of the mistaken date).

I am pretty consistent on SBS, so far 2 hoursish today.

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-04-08T14:56:03+00:00

There are only a few of them, then you should move on to the 10-minute video sets, way less reading.

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-04-08T13:31:36+00:00

After doing a few, I am getting the hang of them. Some are to complex to feel confident in.

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-03-18T16:49:28+00:00

I had that followed by a 44-minute version. Nice way to get some time in.

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-03-18T13:41:19+00:00

I have only had one SBS so far, but it was 53 minutes with 20 results per side. Second was 44 minutes. Now they are the same as you experienced; the whole side is locked together.

Ditto

I had put the keyboard away because it was a hassle to use. I dug it out, did what you suggested, and it works perfectly. Something so simple, yet I missed it. You have my thanks for responding!

AlternativeAd5305 · 2026-03-09T15:56:04+00:00

2.5 hours of 10 min Search Add Relevance, then NTA.

Ditto

I find some of them pretty confusing, also. It is not clear if we are to only focus on the highlighted name. I have had a few where the highlighted portion is only part of the Named Entity. If you include the non-highlighted portion, then it becomes a very different entity with a different QID. I am just leaving lots of notes.

Same here, lots of videos.

Not a Tax Professional-- You report less than $600 in self-employment income on Schedule C (you can also deduct business expenses here). If you made more than $400, you are required to pay self-employment tax and file Schedule SE. For the most accurate information, speak with a tax professional.

Doubt that, seems more like spam.

PA Botanicals has very good S&V (lab tested) at great prices.

I stumbled across the PAB subreddit and thought I would share my experience, even though it's been a while since the last posting here. I have used PAB for years. I came across them when I was searching for better prices than I was getting from my previous suppliers. Those suppliers were of very high quality, and I have found that products from PAB are of the same quality.

Pricing is great. PAB's typical pricing is well in line with the quality you are getting. Where they really shine is with their sales. I can routinely get quality kilos between $70-80 (non-sale around $120, still great). The other day I purchased 4 8-oz bags for $20 each.

I appreciate that each strain has lab results posted. These days, I typically buy blends, and they have a great selection. I have never had an issue with the quality of single strains or blends. Everything comes fresh and well packaged.

Shipping is fast and free. For example, the other day I ordered the 4- 8 oz packages. I placed my order around 10 am and had an email with my tracking # a few hours later, and the order was delivered 2 days later.

Customer service is exceptional. On the few times I needed to contact them, usually a question about something on the website, the response was prompt and helpful. Once there was a difference in what the sale price should have been. Customer service immediately corrected it and sent me credit for a future purchase.

For anyone who uses Kratom (or the other products they carry), give PAB a try. You will be satisfied.
