For you, Stewart Bond

Can someone explain to me why, for the past 10 years, the Books app on my iPad aways disables each hyperlink in a PDF once I have used it? I always have to reload the file from iCloud if I want the links to work again. Is it sloppiness or malice?

Until the pandemic is over, or sufficiently quelled, I will not attend or appear at any event unless all attendees and staff are required to be fully vaccinated. Kudos to Amazon Web Services for setting this standard at Re:Invent.

Happy birthday to IDC’s amazingly talented and hard working data integration and intelligence analyst, Stewart Bond.

I am trying to understand how Joe Biden can be held responsible for the current price rises in key areas, when these same price rises are happening across the industrialized world. Does Biden affect prices in Britain and Australia as well? He must have awesome super powers!

This, for those who claim that crime has gone up along the Mexican border since Biden took office. Facts are pesky things. axios.com/2021/10/28/us-…
