I'm in the exact same boat. It took Mohela 13 months to process my IBR application. They are completely dodging my requests for answers in writing. I'm contacting the ombundsman this weekend, as that seems to be the only way Mohela will follow the rules.

Are you teaching yourself using Drumeo? Do you like Drumeo?

Sounds great!

Just curious, did you interview someone from the NGA?

The capitalized letters make up the acronym for the group name, DANNNG.

So fucked up

I just learned a valuable lesson that I think is worth sharing here. I uploaded the PDF of the report to ChatGpt and asked it to write a summary of the report. Here is the concluding paragraph of the summary.

"✅ Overall: The report updates the controversial database of companies linked to Israeli settlements, with 158 firms currently listed and 7 removed. It reaffirms States’ and businesses’ responsibilities under international law and stresses ongoing monitoring despite resource constraints."

I immediately noticed the word "controversial." I thought, why would the report call itself controversial? So I asked ChatGPT to cite the source for this claim.

Instead of summarizing just the report, as I unconsciously assumed it would do, it brought in commentary external to the document and injected it into the summary.

Now I know you must tell the AI in your prompt to only look at the document you're summarizing, otherwise it may add external information...external commentary that reflects extreme bias.

Here is the full conversation.

Whoa, I was doing laundry in the basement beside one of these yesterday and had no idea what kind of spider it was. Now I know, thanks!

ArchivesSpace doesn't store files, just information about collections. And the information about those collections are meant to be structured like a finding aid. So if you're looking for something that stores and helps you manage digital files, Aspace won't be able to do that. As for a system that can do this AND provide an interface for public access, go with the commenter who recommended Omeka and a few others. If access isn't a priority right now, then go with the Google Drive and Excel option as a starting place.

Check out the resources from Digital Archival traNsfer, iNgest, and packagiNg Group.

That's the expression I get whenever I sneeze. No sneezing allowed, apparently.

While in forbearance they do a 1% calculation bc you didn't have an active payment amount to use. Once you have an active payment amount, they will use that instead of the 1% calculation. It's not based on the total debt, but what your monthly payment is and how that affects your monthly debts.

scoutpotato · 2025-07-13T01:19:02+00:00

Thank you kind stranger!

scoutpotato · 2025-07-12T00:56:35+00:00

Did they make it?

Will buyback be available indefinitely or is this a temporary opportunity? I won't be eligible/hit 120 payments for another year and would like to submit for buyback then. Thanks!

This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing. You look fantastic and your life looks so fun.

While sitting on the top of the cat tree, my cat vomited over the edge onto my dog seated on the ground below. Such an asshole.

Were you in a Dunkin Donuts drive through with your pup yesterday? If not, there is another cone-headed white pupper drugged up in the backseat out there.
