How about 12 times? See BBC News’s Jeremy Paxman interview with Michael Howard - https://youtu.be/IqU77I40mS0?si=NpW7cSqi2eXsQt8s

Getting? The dog whistle is a bullhorn.

Wow, a lot of words to say you wish you owned slaves. Usually, these types of arguments were cloaked by going after FDR.
When you tap some of the menu items in the “Saved to iCloud” section, they don’t have the normal grey item highlight that happens with the rest of the settings app.

So that explains why my dad's email suddenly couldn't send outgoing messages (the configuration, for years, was outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net with normal password). After what felt like an hour, what worked was changing it to smtp.mail.yahoo.com and using OAuth.

Is MapKit considered iOS or Maps?

I have one of those "annual plan, billed monthly". How the hell do I figure out when I initially signed for it? Along the way, I got two free months for getting a Logitech mouse, does that change my annual month?

I'm sure all those children abused by priests will agree with you.

I thought we had already solved this mystery, but I was thinking of a different 1960's San Francisco photo archive discovery -- the Kodachrome slides in a cabinet left on a street.[0]

Cold encourages suburbanites to stay in their warm home instead of going on a night out.
It was also really cold in NYC last week.

Ugh, Packard Bell. Being our first computer, we had no idea that Navigator program was pointless until months after. And I think it was another year before we realized it was capable of true color resolution (It shipped with 256 colors as the default).

"Simple" "Safe" "Private": Marketing buzzwords without any proof or a reputation.

No idea who this person is. Could be some 15 year old scammer in Florida. Could be a billionaire heir in London. No contact information. The domain registration is hidden.

What is this "product" solving that is not much different from a shared Google Doc?

They had the failed Canada expansion, but they smelled like roses compared to the crash and burn of Target Canada.
It would be more helpful if the article provided a year-to-year comparison.

Notice the wording - "I decided not to give any more money to Apple years ago". So by his criteria, he's okay.
I wonder that too. They been doing this for a while now around the big shopping holidays. And yet, I never hear about any major disruptions.

Maybe the union needs to change tactics?

We used to have those educational multimedia CD-ROMs back in the '90s. Look up Microsoft Encarta 97 on YouTube.
How much in additional HVAC costs result from having high ceilings though?
It's not about skipping stops, it's about the amount of eminent domain you'd have to do to eliminate curves thru Connecticut's oldest and richest suburbs.

Which is why proposals to route it via Long Island and building a 16-mile tunnel under Long Island Sound get consideration.

A demonstration of the ol’ adage that in order to solve a problem, make it someone else’s problem.

So it's Danbury, CT.

People forget that 30% was a discounted rate compared to the old java app stores run by the telecoms.
I have the FlightAware free account, but on occasion I’ve bought the Ad removal IAP, via Apple. What personal/billing information beyond my email address do they actually have from me?
Hotels have difficulty with paper and pen bookings when their computers are down. You expect a modern hospital to function in those circumstances?

Crowdstrike is finished? Ha!

SolarWinds got the US government hacked by the Russians and they still exist.

If only she had said "being embezzled by a former governor['s] bureaucratic cronies".
