Detractors like Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx, who is chairwoman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, have called the relief an abuse of taxpayer money.

“The Biden administration’s blatantly political attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court is shameful. The Biden administration is trampling the rule of law, hurting borrowers, and abusing taxpayers to chase headlines," she said in a statement when the policy was announced last month.

Her daughter owns Grandfather Mountain Nursery, which Virginia Foxx used to own with her husband from 1976-2004.

Grandfather Mountain Nursery was forgiven $25,161 worth of PPP loans in December 2020.

Obviously it’s not an “abuse of taxpayer money” when your own family and generational business can benefit from it.

Give it a go

You’re joking right?

An entirely volunteer run, open-source project scraping by on donations is going to have billable lawyers ready to go up against Twitter for this?

According to whois, it was created just after midday on 24/07/23.

It has 256kbps AAC, which is the same as Spotify (in the web browser anyway - I think the Spotify apps do 320kbps)

It’s not bad if you max out the family subscription (5 members) and use YouTube music.

Still, I’m a hypocrite because I absolutely hate their habit of hiding features behind the paywall, and making ads more obnoxious to irritate users into paying for premium.

It’ll be interesting to see where this goes, but odds are it will be meaningless - the research is sketchy at best for now.

In my mind with the quality of research out there right now, it will boil down to 3 outcomes:

• If you used a lot of artificially sweetened products to avoid consuming lots of sugar, and you would go back to using the same amount of sugar otherwise, then keep using the sweetener. Sugar is far more likely to cause damage to you.
• If you think you could cut out the aspartame and cut down on sugar, then do that instead.
• If you eat a decent amount of red meat, you may as well continue consuming aspartame. Odds are the meat will cause cancer long before the aspartame does.

The trouble is the news can latch on to the IARC plan to classify it as a class 2B carcinogen (“possibly carcinogenic”). The problem is, the IARC classification is kinda trash for an end user, since it only classifies the quality of the research available. Meat is a class 1 (“known carcinogen”), but so is asbestos and sunlight and alcohol. No one would argue that those are equivalent. Similarly, coffee, pickles and petrol are also 2B classifications. It’s easy for the news to run with “aspartame has been identified as possibly carcinogenic” and be completely correct while also entirely misleading.

that’s the whole idea of passing by address in C

Wait stop, so in other languages like C#, when you pass a variable into a function “by reference” is that just passing the pointer to the variable?

Have I been baited into using pointers my whole life?

The instructions were there, you just didn’t do the second step which was to refresh the page. It’s a janky way of setting it up for sure, but the green popup notification did have the correct steps.

Your account is most likely lost.
