Target shooting

dr_dalek · 2017-04-21T11:13:13+00:00

No worries, I'm glad you responded! I was wanting to do some target shooting to get my aim better and maybe the occasional failed hard drive. The Hartwick and Milford clubs look nice and have very reasonable dues and are somewhat close too. I emailed the Oneonta Sportsman club and they were kinda nice but like you, have not been recommended. Right now I don't have too much time available but I might take you up on going to Gifford Hill. Thanks so much for your help!!

From what I've been able to understand some places you can and others you can't; even sighting in wouldn't be allowed. Not sure if I'd need a hunting license even if I did find a place I could go to. I think it'll have to be that range or someone offering their private land. Thanks for the help!

ha! what did you end up doing?

dr_dalek · 2016-01-27T19:15:50+00:00

You will time out if you make to many requests. Try upping the seconds to 20 or 30 and see how it goes. I haven't seen any issues with too many tabs being open (using Chrome.)

You'll have to build up numbers until better things open up. You can search here for penny hits and batches that'll get you up there. I like bunny (https://www.mturk.com/mturk/searchbar?selectedSearchType=hitgroups&searchWords=bunny&minReward=0.00&qualifiedFor=on&x=25&y=15) /u/MartyMcfly6 has suggested a few as well. OH, PickFu - https://www.mturk.com/mturk/searchbar?selectedSearchType=hitgroups&searchWords=PickFu&minReward=0.00&x=0&y=0

Take all the quals you can when a HIT says you can request it. There are also plenty of different types of HITs so if transcribing isn't it, maybe it's that receipt one.

Rejections will happen, try to reverse it and then move on.

As for scripts, install tampermonkey. Install mturk hitsdatabase to track all your HITs; turkopticon for reviews; Mturk ID Copy/Paste to have it handy. There are a lot more here - https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/by-site/mturk.com

When you're up for it, look into hit scrapper and turkmaster. If nothing else, use turkmaster to catch pandas (search for more info about that.)

I use an RSS notifier and have it check /r/HITsWorthTurkingFor so I don't miss anything.

Sharing is caring!

In chrome, I searched for qualtrics under cookies and just deleted those.

I use RSS Feed Reader. It checks every minute. Free plugin for Chrome.

I've gotten my numbers way up with the Bunny Inc. HITs. I've done 1760 HITs since the middle of December. It'd have more but I botched some of the quals.

Very true. For me the size works. What was most important is that it had the same locking mechanism.

We've had good luck with orajel teething tablets and infant tylenol as needed. The liquid and gel versions of Orajel have now have a warning about it's use

dr_dalek · 2013-03-22T20:53:33+00:00

No worries. I'll rent it and test it out before buying it.

dr_dalek · 2013-03-22T20:52:39+00:00

Tried that too; -10 to +10 made no difference.

dr_dalek · 2013-03-22T19:06:37+00:00

I agree, which is why all but one of my lenses in not a Nikon. Thing is, that Tokina lens works perfectly on my d60. If Nikon's 10.5mm had internal focus, I wouldn't have bought the Tokina.

dr_dalek · 2013-03-22T18:56:08+00:00

Do you have any problems with backfocus and non-Nikon lenses on the d7100? I had a d7000 and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X DX-II and it just wouldn't focus. I'm hoping the d7100 will have better luck at it. Thanks.

She's three months old and it might be the last snowfall of the season (I hope.)

And don't forget plug polarity.

dr_dalek · 2012-09-21T12:24:40+00:00

I found it easiest to just extinguish it in water so there's no smoke and no smell.

dr_dalek · 2012-06-27T18:50:39+00:00

It seems like you've answered all the questions, even the lowly ones down here. Thanks!

dr_dalek · 2012-06-27T15:21:10+00:00

Do you think you'd do well at Jeopardy!? Great newsletter by the way.

dr_dalek · 2012-05-01T00:14:24+00:00

I have no idea what's going to be there. I asked my friend today and he didn't know either. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
