Best to just presume they are all sold out…!

Guess I should look elsewhere to sell a game based on Nat Turner…

Companies should not be required to store the recorded document, just that it was verified. There is no need to keep the PII, just a record of the fact that it was checked.

Anything else raises significant liability issues for everyone.

Good for you! 😁

Going to pretend I said something funny. Brain is not working at the moment. 😅

Today, Zach is off his food. Again.

Pain was the cause the other day but today I think he feels tired and will eat when he is ready.

He did take all his meds, and eat a few bites for me.

Zach, a 10-year-old black and tan silken windhound whose tan has turned to grey. He is lying down on a blue bed and wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt to cover his bandages and wounds.

Triffid. Clearly a Triffid.

More likely… people just leave tiktok…

I was wrong yesterday. I like to post crafty things on Tuesday and amateur radio things on Thursday. Ugh.

Enjoy this picture of Zach as he heals as an apology for my thematic transgressions.

Zach, a 10-year-old black and tan silken windhound whose tan has turned to grey. He is sleeping and his very long nose is foreshortened in the image to appear bigger than his entire body.

Zach was attacked by a dog recently and suffered serious trauma. He had to have life-saving surgery. He is now recovering at home.

Those MREs from 199x won’t eat themselves… not like the ones from the 80s…

M. David Scoble @mdavidscoble.bsky.social · 1d

Sure! Happy to help!

M. David Scoble @mdavidscoble.bsky.social · 1d

Totally recommend!

I also have vision issues and struggle with the alt text window. I end up expounding on the photos as the text has a higher limit than my actual post… although that might be due to my own predispositions… 😅

M. David Scoble @mdavidscoble.bsky.social · 1d

I guess it’s time to go back to glazing and nightshading all my bluesky photos for maximum AI poisoning…

Stupid gits.

M. David Scoble @mdavidscoble.bsky.social · 1d

Probably only saw Totoro?

M. David Scoble @mdavidscoble.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you for sharing. It means a lot. It’s been a week and we are still in the midst of figuring out what will happen.

Zach is a strong, loving boy. He doesn’t know what social media is, but he would be grateful for the support if he did!

M. David Scoble @mdavidscoble.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you! Zach is the sweetest boy. 🫶🏼

I should go back to using complex, one-time pads on a frequently changing basis. I found myself memorizing 12-character complex passwords in under a week.

Unfortunately, I have significantly more accounts now than in 2009… 😫😫😫

I normally post an amateur radio related post on Tuesdays. Since I’m taking care of a severely injured dog, this post is a little light.

Did you know antennas with the magnetic bases to go on cars can be used in other circumstances? But you will need to mount it on a piece of metal as if on a car.

Not wrong at all. And I dislike spam but a spam musubi? Yeah, I’m here for it.

I got the upgrade to cursed not only with bones but also bad squishy bits between them…

The closer the 🦴 get, the more they conspire against me. The squishy bits gave up their job keeping the 🦴 apart…

We really appreciate it. He is one of the goodest boys.

It’s the nose. It always knows.

M. David Scoble @mdavidscoble.bsky.social · 1d

He was in large amounts of pain. He needed an injection of a string pain reliever and he pushed through!

Thank you so much for sharing. He is recovering. It will be slow and tedious, but his is tough and determined.
