Something tells me @thetrim just saw the out-of-state tuition bill for the University of Nebraska.  

That's funny.  As soon as my son got word of a "full-ish" ride to any Florida State school, the "Go Big Red" Dream took a big hit.  He has about a 60% scholarship to Nebraska.

Congrats to the kid. A scholarship, of any amount, is something to be proud of.

Just had a 45 minute car ride with the wife where she had to call into a meeting. I now known more about NIH and NSF grants and cost share than I care to know

Fun!  I'm having to deal with a lot of that kind of stuff these days in my new position here.  NIH has a new policy on data that they just announced that is going to be an interesting challenge to come into compliance with for a lot of our PIs.

Pretty sure you have to be high to understand Bill Walton.

Seems like AOC is highly qualified to talk about having a huge telescope fall into a cavernous hole.

Of all the sources of information on this topic and you choose AOC. Quite the not so subtle way of inserting politics in a non political thread.

I agree @HeavyG we should try to avoid the third rail here.  Thanks.

Did you order her "Tax the Rich" sweat shirt yet?  It is $60, so not 100% sure who her target audience is.

I've been to Puerto Rico so dang many times and always wanted to visit that place.

I am reading up on AOCs tax policy.  Her compelling story about hiking with her mother, made me curious.  70% tax for the sake of equality is interesting.

Sounds like another wormhole.  Please stop the political posts in this thread, thanks.  

This thread is a reincarnation of another now sequestered thread, in honor of the honorable @Ozzie_Isaac, who is sadly on hiatus.  Ozzie always insisted the thread be a politics-free zone because he loved his thread and knew politics would kill it, even though Ozzie himself liked to talk politics especially all things glibertarian.  So please, in honor of my dear friend, please leave that kind of [email protected] for elsewhere.

My apologies, I sometimes get excited and a head of myself.  I will respect this thread 👍

Now, I guess I am looking for a safe thread to continue the discussion in.
