Trump cuts to food banks are making providing disaster aid difficult
Near the beginning of Trumpās second term, the Department of Agriculture stopped the flow of some of the money that pays for deliveries of products like meats, eggs, and vegetables known as ābonus commoditiesā through The Emergency Food Assistance Program, or TEFAP, to charitable organizations like food banks. TEFAP is one of the primary ways that state and federal governments have ensured food reaches communities in need in the aftermath of climate-fueled disasters like a hurricane or heatwave.
In March, the USDA also moved to end future rounds of funding for the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program and the Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement Program. These two programs, which are also designed to support emergency food providers such as food banks, were slated to distribute more than a billion dollars this fiscal year to states, tribes, and territories.
High speed of development of Huawei's phone CPUs, 3 generations of chips in 2 years
Sidenote: its insane how chipmakers refer to CPUs as 7 nanometer, 2 nanometer, etc, since there is absolutely no component or wire inside the CPU that is actually this small, it purely a marketing term lol
yes but the "node size" is made up and means nothing. eg there is no "node" that is 5 nanometers or whatever it says on the box and in the press releases.
the critical word there being "area" which is 2D measure while a CPU is a 3D structure.
ie to use a human-size example, if my waist circumference is 90cm and someone stands on my shoulders at a 1cm offset that does not make my waist circumference 90cm+1cm/2 = 45.5cm even though I now fit just under twice as many ppl in the same "area"
CPU makers use exactly the same accounting trick to claim (e.g.) 2 nanometer "nodes"

If youāre going for a budget site, great. Just dodge these mistakes to save time, money, and frustration.
You want a website, but youāre not looking to break the bank. Thatās a solid plan. There are plenty of ābudgetā or ālow-costā web design options out there. If youāre careful, you can get a site thatās both affordable and effective. But too many people end up with a site thatās glitchy, outdated, or just doesnāt work because they fell into common pitfalls.
If youāre going for a budget site, great. Just dodge these mistakes to save time, money, and frustration.
1. Thinking "Cheap" Means "Awful"āor "Amazing"
People often make one of two errors. Some assume a cheap website is guaranteed to be terrible. Others think theyāre getting a high-end site for pennies. Both are off-base.
You can absolutely get a clean, functional website without spending thousands, especially if you need something simpleāa few pages, basic info, or a contact form. But ācheapā doesnāt mean youāre getting a custom-built site with all the bells and whistles. Be realistic.
That said, donāt dismiss affordable designers just because their prices are low. Some are new and eager to build their portfolios. Others use tools like Squarespace or WordPress to work efficiently. A skilled cheap website designer delivers value by focusing on what you need.
Look at their past work. Have a chat. If their style fits your goals, youāre set.
2. Not Knowing What You Need
The biggest mistake is hiring someone to āmake a websiteā without a clear idea of what itās for. You end up with a site that looks fine but doesnāt do the job.
Before you start, figure out:
Whatās the siteās purpose (e.g., showcase your work, sell products, collect leads)?
What pages or features are must-haves?
Will you need to update it later?
How should it work on phones?
You donāt need a detailed spec sheet, just a sense of direction. Without it, youāll get a generic or mismatched site, and even a cheap site is a waste if it doesnāt work.
A budget site still needs a purpose.
3. Rushing the Jobāor Letting Them Rush It
Fast work is fine, but sloppy work isnāt.
Some cheap website designers are quick because theyāve got their process down to a science. Thatās great. But if someone offers to whip up a full site in a day without asking about your needs, thatās a warning sign.
A solid designer, even an affordable one, will take time to understand your audience, message, and preferences. It doesnāt need to be a long process, but a quick discussion is essential.
Donāt rush them either. Demanding a complete site overnight leads to mistakes. A good cheap website designer needs a few days to organize content, choose images, and test everything.
Take the time to get it right. Itāll pay off.
4. Skipping Mobile, Speed, or Updates
Your site has to work on phones. It needs to load fast. And you should be able to update it without relying on the designer for every change.
Many cheap websites miss these basics. They might look decent on a computer but break on mobile. Or theyāre slowed down by clunky code or too many plugins. Or theyāre built in a way that makes simple changes a nightmare.
Thatās not a bargaināitās a liability.
Even a low-cost site should be mobile-friendly and quick. If itās built on a platform like WordPress, you should be able to edit text or images yourself. Ask the designer how updates work and what maintenance is needed.
Test it before it goes live. Donāt just hope itās okay.
5. Assuming Itās a One-Off Task
Websites arenāt a ābuild it and leave itā thing. They need a bit of care. Too many people get a cheap site, put it online, and forget about it. A year later, links are broken, forms donāt work, and the contentās outdated.
Even a simple site needs occasional attention. Update your info. Check that forms and links still function. Refresh the look if it feels stale.
A good cheap website designer builds a site thatās easy to manage. Ask them whatās needed to keep it runningāmaybe monthly checks or software updates. And make sure you know how to reach them if something breaks.
How to Make It Work
You can get an awesome site on a budget if youāre smart about it.
Choose a cheap website designer with a proven track record.
Look for someone who listens, asks questions, and explains their process clearly.
They should focus on the essentials: a clean design, clear content, fast performance, and easy updates.
You donāt need fancy animations or custom code. You need a site that shows who you are, communicates your message, and makes it easy for visitors to take action.
Stay within your budget, but donāt chase the cheapest option blindly. Know what you want, stay involved, and communicate clearly. Thatās how you get a website thatās both affordable and worth every cent.
>After several retranslations they decided Lhaplus was the name of the city and not Laplace. I'm sure there's a story reason for it (This is one of those mystery goes to the heart of the city stories...) but it's painful to see.
I have over 400 physical DVDs and over 300 physical CDs. I buy them, I rip them, and then I put them in a box.
And I'm kind of wondering why I keep them. Why not rip and resell? I'm not planning to buy enough shelf space for all that. I like the convenience of having a media server.
I've got other stuff I'm storing in my storage unit, so it doesn't cost me anything to keep them, but still. Why?
I had all my music ripped and backed up on my DROBO until they sold and Apple updated their OS, so the DROBO became useless. I also had my other back up drive die on me at the same time, so my 2 backups with my music went "up in smoke", thankfully I still have the physical discs.
I've got 4 copies of the music, but only 2 of the movies.
I was thinking about how all the music is MP3s because that's what we had back then, but now all the cool kids are using FLAC. So maybe I should start ripping in FLAC.
I got rid of my vinyl and cassettes before confirming I could get everything in a digital format. There's music I'll never hear again. At least this time I made copies first.
Looking at you Cerbral Corps and your original release of Oxide Socks.

Both my parents were full-time volunteers in the research library in SLC for a couple of years. Then my mom got really into mapping out family lines in 1500's-1700's Mexico using old Spanish records. I think it was 100's of thousands of names that she mapped out. She got a real kick out if it.
She has also put together 2 collections of her family history that look like history textbooks, and she had them printed. They are hundreds of pages and full of pictures. Beautiful stuff.
"There are cover-ups, and then thereās whatever the British Government just pulled.
Imagine torching Ā£7 ($9.4) billion of public money, risking 100,000 lives, creating an immigration scandal, and then, when the inevitable outrage starts to bubble, slapping a gag order on the entire country and pretending it never happened.
This is banana-republic behavior with better tailoring."
This is a criminal conspiracy. And by treating it as a conspiracy, you eliminate the five-year statutes on individual crimes. So if something happened in 2016, but it was part of an ongoing conspiracy that continued with Jack Smith raiding Donald Trumpās home at Mar-a-Lago, it can be charged in the larger conspiracy. Even though, if you tried to charge it as an individual case, you wouldnāt get it. thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/sā¦

July 15, 2025 @ 20:08 Good evening family & friendsā£ļø I finished up the laundry today, had it all hung well before noon. Neighbor came and took the rest of the tree off our shed (I should go take another picture) that had fallen a couple of days ago*. Charlie and her sister walked over, brushed Maisie, watered the garden for me, and applied a last coat of spray paint to the tires. The work Bill did on the front porch* is working out SO WELL and we've had several neighbors come over to comment on how nice it looks š. I slept a lot. Oh yeah...and there was something stinky in here, like something died in the wall, for nearly a week...when Bill was here this morning he even commented on it. While I was sleeping Pete tore apart the kitchen to see what he could find - nothing. Later I happened to look behind the microwave and there was a package of meat of some sort - hard to tell by this point - that had fallen behind and rotted and dripped down the back of the tool cart that I use for a counter/cupboard space...and at the pool on the floor were too many maggots to count! Oh. My. Goodness. WHAT A MESS!! But Pete got it all cleaned up in here and now it smells fine. (That would also account for the big influx of flies we've had in here this last week!) Ordered a pizza for dinner [chiachow.net/what-i-eat], I had a coupon, and did a Tuesday Titters post [chia.owly.net/tuesday-titters-ā¦]. OK, I guess that's it, I have a whopper of a headache and am going to bed soon. I will see you in the morningā£ļøšš„±šš¤
That brings back a memory. Blessed mom cooked dinner. I think I was in middle school. I didnāt want to eat anymore meat. So I threw it behind the refrigerator. The apt had high ceilings and the fridge had no cabinets above it. A week later maggots were crawling out from under there. Mom moved the fridge, saw the meat and maggots. So yucky. Glad she let it slide. She probably thought it was my little sister who did. She was momās favorite. š
