@Oaktavia he’s a lab shepherd mix. He’s older now though and I wasn’t about to let something happen to him.

Has anyone else noticed that spell check is getting much worse with spelling, autocorrections, and with suggested words. Over the past 5 to 6 months it's been driving me mad...I find that when I go back to texts, posts, etc. that it changed words without me catching it and say it's a little annoying to say the least.

@goosehd yes, yes, yes. And on a broader scope, the entirety of tech getting worse is called enshittification. It’s probably the thing that drives me the most nuts. Like, we have AI making pics of dogs skydiving but the basic stuff, like “search” is becoming unusable. I can rant on this for days…

[goosehd]

Thank goodness it's just not me...I'm ready to throw all of technology into the lake. However, how will I get my IH fix...

[SKT]

It’s a real thing. And it sucks

@SKT A good read and thank you...

I’m beginning to think that I am the originator of some of the Nigerian Prince scam emails that come from your uncle brother cousin who recently passed away. If you guys want, send me your bank info and I’ll send you the money to safeguard

We had a guy ask @Freeman today if we were going to make an A2 with a mohair collar.

When Freeman said, probably not. The guy then asked for a list of the suppliers of the mohair, whipcord etc etc and for the patterns of the N1 and the A2, so he could make his own.

I think Freeman was quite polite.

My answer would have been just 2 words. Get would have been one of them....

@Giles …bent??

@goosehd I work in a University and I had one of my learners fall for this scam this week. The poor soul went so far as to print a check that the scammer sent to them. He then proceeded to bring it to his bank and cash it. Of course now his bank account has been closed and he's come crying to us about "what can you do?" etc. How do you tell an adult to not be so damn gullible? Who in their right mind would think a check you printed off your HP all in one is going to be valid?

[goosehd]

@GardenState …to be honest, I assumed that everyone knew of that scam by now.

[Giles]

It's a scam, not according to this?

[GardenState]

@Giles Ah, shit! I have to go answer some emails be back in a bit!

[goosehd]

…now I’m starting to wonder if the penis enlargement emails and offers really work.

[Giles]

No

[goosehd]

@Giles Is that from experience from taking said supplements? Or is bent the wrong fill in the blank from your previous post?
