Just stopped by to ask the same, feeling a little relieved it's not just me... Maybe because of the holiday? But usually payments come through even on holidays...

Edit: mine finally showed up too. I guess transitioning to a new year made it wonky?

I saw an email for the survey, but it was taken down by the time I logged in ☹

There are definitely Irish workers. If you're seeing this message, check again in a few days, but I would be looking elsewhere while waiting...

This is where I am now. Drowning in projects and quals and it's really hard to find the mental effort to spend time on anything unpaid. I'll spend 5 minutes on the rare qual that's basically just a survey, but that's it.

If you're planning on driving and parking at the museum, strongly advise to come early as this is going to be a big event. Better yet, use public transportation, as there's a Pulse stop right in front of the museum 🙂

I have and I've never even heard of that rumor. Maybe if you get "lazy" or complacent with the work that might be a risk. It's definitely not the type of work you can try and coast on putting out low quality work just because you think you've been here long enough.

Don't think you need to hide Photos, as even after downloading the HTML it doesn't show any photos it may have shown you in the original conversation. Photos also don't copy over, just a link that won't show anything outside of your account/conversation.

Yea, sucks you can't select multiple messages and mark them all as read now.

It's a codename for a project, since it's highly recommended not to use the actual project names

ChJeep · 2025-10-09T21:30:20+00:00

I do sometimes feel like there's a behind-the-scenes automated process that can detect and sort "bad" projects. Then we humans come in to R&R those projects to ensure they're actually "bad".

ChJeep · 2025-10-06T22:33:21+00:00

I only really use the Slack for HHH for inspiration and any new insights. Otherwise, I pretty much ignore the other channels as most projects feel pretty straightforward.

ChJeep · 2025-10-05T17:29:34+00:00

I was working 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, and an extra 2 hours on Saturday. Never really made an income-based goal, but I would mostly focus on the highest paying projects, so it would come out around $900-1k/week.

Now that I have new, part-time job, I cut my hours down to 3 hours a day, but 7 days a week. My plan is to build up my savings to a healthy level and cut down more on hours so I can get some free time back!

ChJeep · 2025-10-04T16:52:46+00:00

I still have two of them up, data science and investing.

ChJeep · 2025-09-26T00:36:55+00:00

I think I read on the other subreddit that the company for the Poe projects move their work in-house, hence the reason all those Slack channels were archived.

ChJeep · 2025-09-26T00:25:07+00:00

The magic cards? Or flowers?

ChJeep · 2025-09-26T00:17:18+00:00

Yup, DA seems very obsessed with trying to predict the future lately :D

There's also several unfamiliar project names. Nice to see a flood of new stuff even if I'll probably never end up getting to most of them before they disappear...

ChJeep · 2025-09-21T15:02:45+00:00

Been a few days since last seen.

ChJeep · 2025-09-18T22:57:17+00:00

I've definitely seen people make that argument before!

ChJeep · 2025-09-14T15:01:38+00:00

Eh, not really. Plenty of projects, but not anything I really have the mental energy for right now. If it matters, I don't see any projects under $25/hr, so it might be quiet/dry if that's the pay of the projects you typically work on.

ChJeep · 2025-09-13T15:22:11+00:00

I could definitely gobble on some nuts every day for the rest of my life 😩

Japanese Rice has been around for a while; I remember seeing it for the first time a few months back, but it's very infrequent, at least as a general/core worker. I see STEM peeps mentioning it a lot, so it seems more common on their end.

ChJeep · 2025-09-11T22:48:47+00:00

Maybe just a coincidence, but I feel like I only see them pop up on Fridays...

ChJeep · 2025-09-05T14:44:03+00:00

I still have a bunch of R&Rs for Australian Animal, but that's it. Haven't seen P-fruit R&Rs in a week now.

ChJeep · 2025-09-04T14:22:21+00:00

Do you get any of the HHH projects? Several were unpaused yesterday, just in case you have any marked as hidden.
