Money for heating and cooling assistance for those in need is on the line. As part of the cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services, the Trump administration reportedly fired the staff that runs the Low-Income Home Energy Program. Congress already approved funds for the program but with the staff gone, the allocated money is frozen.

As soon as I make an account and try to post a comment or something. I get "server error" which is basically a ban.

He then called the DOGE work necessary but said that "working for the government to get the financial house in order is mostly done."

"I think starting probably next month in May, my time allocation to those will drop significantly," he said.

He added that he expected to keep working for the government one or two days a week for the remainder of President Donald Trump's presidency to "make sure that the waste and fraud that we stopped does not come roaring back." DOGE has not yet proved the fraud it alleges.

The image on the right is how the settings app look on macOS 12. On macOS 13 (2022) it was changed to look more to the one on the left, with all the sections selectable in a sidebar and a smaller window. Many users have complained about it, saying that it sacrificed function for form and is part of making macOS more like iOS by mindlessly copying phone UIs onto computers which it isn't meant for. I think its alright, not terrible. And it's the norm with settings apps looking like that in Windows, KDE, Gnome, and some other DEs.

Sedikit background, akhir2 agak stress ya sama keadaan skrng ini. Pekerjaan dan ekonomi bkin pusing gak ketolong, sebagai perokok yg biasa sebungkus (isi 12) bisa buat 2 hari, skrng malah sehari sebungkus kurang. Scara sadar dan enggak bersamaan tiap kerja dpan laptop, mumet dikit auto ngebakar gtw dah gua juga bingung ama diri gua sndri. Udah cba banyakin aktifitas fisik, ditiap sore hari pas kerjaan selesai kalo cuaca bagus sering jalan santai main pokemonGo kadang sepedaan -+ 20km, tapi malah berujung insomnia dan nuangin ide di dpan laptop sambil auto bakar. Sampe liat meja banyak tumpukan bungkus rokok, gua langsung mikir gua butuh bantuan, gak bisa kaya gni.

Sempet nyoba telpon ke nomer yg tertera dibungkusan rokok dan bot telegram yg tertera di website kemenkes. Tpi yahhhhh sama aja sih ujung2nya gak paham lagi gua sama pelayanan publik di wakanda ini tuh 😂

Anyway, ada redditor indo yg mantan perokok? Boleh share progressnya dri perokok aktif sampe bisa berhenti?

Menurut Dedi, selama ini dana hibah cenderung diberikan kepada yayasan yang memiliki akses politik kuat, sementara lembaga yang benar-benar membutuhkan justru tidak tersentuh. Dia menegaskan bahwa pemberian hibah harus melalui proses yang transparan dan adil. "Yayasan yang berkembang yang punya akses politik, yang punya akses kepada gubernur, itu-itu saja yang dapat. Sementara yang benar-benar butuh, yang di bawah, tidak kebagian," ujarnya.

Today's game is some more Assassin's Creed Shadows. I did a tomb that i passed by on my way to track down some missing Priests. This section above with the tree reminded me of a previous Screenshot i did in Far Cry 3 (A game i still need to go back and finish) of a temple in a cave with a tree. Coincidentally this cave also had a ton of Grappling Points around it like in a Far Cry game.

I also went hunting for one of the last few legendary Sumi-e's i need for a achievement. This one was of a bird that was nearby this pond that was really pretty. The water was really clear and i spent just a little bit splashing around in it since i had some time to kill before the bird spawned.

I also did a Sumi-e that spawns in all seasons of these 3 wise monkeys. I've known about these for a while but keep putting it off, but i was in the area and at the right time so i went ahead and did it before i put it off again.

The final screenshot i wanted to share was this village i passed by with red lanterns all over the place. The wind was blowing a bit at this point so all the lanterns were gracefully blowing in the wind. I ended up buying a fox statue here

Phoenix TV: We’ve been hearing the U.S. say that China and the U.S. are having talks and even about to reach a deal. Can you confirm whether the two sides are in talks?

Guo Jiakun: None of that is true. For all I know, China and the U.S. are not having any consultation or negotiation on tariffs, still less reaching a deal.

This tariff war is launched by the U.S. China’s position is consistent and clear: We will fight, if fight we must. Our doors are open, if the U.S. wants to talk. Dialogue and negotiation must be based on equality, respect and mutual benefit.

NHK: I also have a question about tariffs. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration may reduce tariffs on Chinese imports in some cases by more than half. Additionally, President Trump said it depends on China how soon the tariffs can come down. What is your reaction to this news and statement?

Guo Jiakun: I just made clear China’s position. Let me stress again that this tariff war is launched by the U.S., and China’s attitude is consistent and clear. If a negotiated solution is truly what the U.S. wants, it should stop exerting extreme pressure, stop threatening and blackmailing China, and seek dialogue based on equality, respect and mutual benefit.

AFP: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that Beijing’s export reliant economic model is unsustainable and harms both China and the rest of the world. What is the Foreign Ministry’s comment on this?

Guo Jiakun: The truth, which is clear to all, is that the U.S. tariffs are seriously undermining the WTO rules and harming the common interests of all countries.
