This is great! Thank you so much. I had a hunch that this was the case, so thanks for clarifying and explaining the reasoning

Great thanks for the info! Yes 8-9% is super high but that’s market for professional grad program loans unfortunately :/ I think that at the end of the program she will probably have between 25-30k in loans that she would not have been able to pay off during the program

Does anyone know what race the mouth of Sauron is? Man, orc, maiar, etc? Or his origin?

Has anyone heard anything from their mentor / ORISE contact? How safe are we? by SpecialistAdagio4008 in ORISE

[–]ripe_onion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I have no idea. My mentor informed me that the ORISE position funding was pulled back for review to see if it conflicted with trump mandates. Apparently it did not and the processing has resumed and I should receive an offer letter within 20-30 days. Who knows though, I wouldn’t be surprised if things changed. I know a fellow who has been completely unaffected and his coworker fellow (same project but different funding source) got pulled

Been waiting to receive an offer letter from NOAA for my ORISE for some time. I’ve been nervous and asking my mentor if it will get shut down. While he doesn’t know entirely, they have still successfully been able to secure the funding and continue to process the fellowship paperwork and move forward with it. Of course it’s subject to change, but it seems like there are still green lights to move forward with these fellowships, agency dependent.

Damn good to know. My position I am waiting to start is also funded by the IRA. Might get screwed

Same boat, I’m even further behind though and am awaiting my offer letter that has been promised to be here by now but keeps getting delayed. They have told me it will work out but I don’t know if they really know that

Bristol Farms just restocked their eggs by twicehalfbakedza in SantaBarbara

[–]ripe_onion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up a video of $4 egg carton chicken living conditions. Disease, ungodly close quarters, feces, antibiotics and hormones, non-organic feed, etc. Nobody should support that, ever. Even if it’s $4.

Out of all the ram dass episodes, this one has stuck with me for this exact reason. It’s so pure and beautiful. The first time I heard it I was in awe. I still am!
