Yeah. Only for one year though. I had previously thought his CIA involvement was more extensive.

It’s named after the elder George Bush, GHWB.

I’d reverse it. “Security researcher who has been thanked by Apple for helping fix bugs in MacOS found to be a serial fraudster”

Absolutely no reason to suggest that Apple “forgave” him, or that it was a mistake. I hate whoever wrote this article.

My mother cooks a wide range of stuff that is generally good. I don’t agree with some of the ingredients but the methods and results are solid.

My father used to cook a limited range of decent dishes but seems to have forgotten about that, and has become incredibly lazy about food… if it’s not something frozen he can microwave in 3 minutes, he considers that way too long and too much effort. Their microwave stopped working and had to be replaced, and in the meantime, he was simply flabbergasted and thought he was going to starve to death. He apparently didn’t realize you could heat canned soup on the stovetop.

Well, that was a pretty cluelessly written article. The two things are entirely unrelated. The headline seems to imply that Apple changed its mind about the fraudulent activity and was wrong, but that is not what the details support.

Yep, I can’t speak on the decline of quality because it was a site that was early to dark pattern bullshit. It would show up prominently in Google search and then tease “you have to sign up to read the answers”. Uh, no. Reminds me of expert sexchange or whatever that site was that got smashed by stackoverflow for similar reasons.

Sometimes I think you know, being mildly chronically ill with no real social attachments isn't that bad.

Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.

I doubt that Bush Sr would be bothered by that as much as I doubt that GWB ever planned more than a barbecue in his entire life.

I need to find a smart and cute 45 year old lady with a nice house who’s lonely and horny. I can handle the shopping, cooking and entertainment.

I don’t think OP was actually proposing that they’d solve our problems. Just wondering what they are (I guess).

I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.
