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.

Probably not so surprising given its 8/9 years old at this stage. Hard enough for this sort of project to get off the ground in the first place let alone supporting nearly 10 year old hardware (despite the ongoing popularity of the 10 series, it is old).

Same, I have a shortcut set up on my phone that shuts down my computer when I get in my car just because I know it won’t stay asleep otherwise

It’s actually ridiculous how often you’ll put Windows to sleep, and half a second later it turns itself back on.

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?

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.

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.
