@baptistejamin
@daniel_nguyenx It could be a problem with Google Calandar. Google automatically send emails on your behalf using your iCloud email, witch obviously can be considered as insecure :)

@DarthDecisive
@imik_plays I recommend getting a Twitch Drops extension if you use Chrome. It completely eliminated this problem for me.
It even auto collects rewards for you and keeps them ticking regardless of where they are in your browser.

Google is in decline. Not because they are way behind in AI race but a) my YouTube premium stopped working b) it can't update the payment method c) the support UI is terrible (it seems that in all the ultra pro max leetcode tests they don't ask for role="button")

RE CORRUPT photos . @AppleSupport and to all MAC USERS. If your photos file got corrupted in the INTERNET outage last TUESDAY .. Go to PHOTO setting on MAC ... and create a new library from the cloud. Have to do each task carefully.

@pmitu It is a responsive design issue not exactly connected to the browser and OS.
It is caused by a large screen. But using Chrome on Mac OS.

Just upgraded to the latest MacOS version. Now I am plagued with SSL errors both in Safari, Chrome and term. It seems that some SSL cache is slowly being refreshed and when it refreshes, I lose access to that resource. And now it is just reset and everything works.???

@1967DAM
@TelegraphRoyals They don’t
I genuinely think most were concerned for her and then sending out fake photos and then also pretending they were edited incorrectly has caused this problem
Nothing else imo
She could have just said it’s her business and didn’t want to discuss it with the public

@BitForReal @Google Sugar is not the problem. It's insulin.
If insulin is not working you can have high blood sugar even on a Ketogenic diet.
Certain organs require glucose for energy, our bodies can produce their own glucose, specifically in the liver. This process is known as gluconeogenesis.

As I fumbled around for the matches, knocking things down with my quaking hands, I wished the sun would rise in the middle of the day, when it was warm and bright and cheerful, and one wasn't sleepy. View in contextOne day the woman was standing by this window and looking down into the garden, when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion (rapunzel), and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it, she quite pined away, and began to look pale and miserable. View in contextI shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT- POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. View in contextNatasha, pale, with a fixed look, was sitting on the bench under the icons just where she had sat down on arriving and paid no attention to her father's words. View in contextIt was in the afternoon, and a bright sun was shining down on a world of new green. View in contextI noticed some pieces of limbs and such things floating down, and a sprinkling of bark; so I knowed the river had begun to rise. View in contextIn a corner of the market among the pens for cattle, Barnaby knelt down, and pausing every now and then to pass his hand over his father's face, or look up to him with a smile, knocked off his irons. View in contextAnd a twenty or twenty-five foot deliberate drop clear down to the ground was nothing to us. View in contextDeep and full and strong it thundered down the ravine, the fierce battle-call of a warrior race, the last stern welcome to whoso should join with them in that world-old game where the stake is death. View in contextAlthough Vasili Andreevich felt quite warm in his two fur coats, especially after struggling in the snow-drift, a cold shiver ran down his back on realizing that he must really spend the night where they were. View in contextWHEN these stumps were full, they began to empty the bags into a hole high up a tree, that had belonged to a wood-pecker; the nuts rattled down--down-- down inside. View in contextI have been down to the village and fetched them up." View in context
