re: Lawmakers advance bill requiring TOPS repayment for students who lose scholarships
Posted by Salmon on 4/14/26 at 2:25 pm to PP7 for heisman

What happens if you lose TOPS for something out of the ordinary like a family member dying? Or if you sustain a serious injury and are forced to take less than the minimum required credits for TOPS(something that happened to someone I know)?
this is one of the exemptions listed
but you are right, with all the exemptions, people will file for these exemptions and challenges and clog the system
just raise the standards
this shouldn't be that complicated

I feel like you are overreacting to the reaction

Already happening for the VAST majority that accept TOPS.
Do you have data on this?
In 2022, 75% of LA college students stayed in state after graduation.

It was an example of tuition payment.
I'm aware. But one is a reward for achievement.

But yes there are scholarships you have to repay if you don't maintain performance.
I don't deny that they exist. But I don't believe they are very common.

Check your employer's tuition reimbursement plan.
That isn't a scholarship that was rewarded to someone :confused:

Lots of scholarships tied to ongoing academic performance.
Lots of scholarships where you have pay back the money if you fail to meet the ongoing qualifications? It's been 20 years since I was in college, but I never heard of a scholarship like that.
re: LA OMV Electric & Hybrid road usage fee

What do you have?
I'm looking at the hybrid Grand Highlander for my wife's next vehicle because we are moving rural and she will have more highway miles as opposed to city miles, so I was hoping for some gas relief

so you're saying we should tax vehicles also by passenger weight?
smart roads that weigh your vehicle in real time and tally your tax bill at the end of the month based on weight?
I can see it

the price you pay for being a liberal pansy :usa:
at this point in 2024, LSU was 3-12 in SEC and had been swept twice and no series win
they got hot and made a strong push in the SEC tourney and were 1 out from winning a regional in Chapel Hill
no reason to give up on this team right now

So much better than the shite culture of 2020s. We never spent a second thinking about all the culture war crap that people lament 24/7 today.
This isn't true. The concept of "PC culture" came about in the 90s.

One note: Eminem and Limp Bizkit were about the least consequential musicians you could have mentioned from the era the brought us Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice & Chains, the Black Keys, 311, Sublime, Nine Inch Nails, and so many more.
beside the Black Keys, all of these bands were more early to mid 90s than late 90s/early 200s

Polyester is gross.
I hate it. But a lot of clothing has it to some degree.
You can buy "merino wood" shirts and they will be 30% polyester for the stretch.
I'm wearing Lulu joggers right now.
Here is the material:
quote:
Material and care
Materials
Pocket Lining: 100% Polyester (recycled)
Body: 53% Elastomultiester, 47% Polyester (recycled)
Rib: 88% Nylon, 12% Lycra Elastane
All of those materials will have PFAS.
Same. And I do avoid heating things up in tubber ware in the microwave.
I know it's not complete, but it at least makes me feel better.
And I have switched to a lot of natural fabrics. If merino wasn't so damn expensive, it would be all I wore.

Fair enough. I guess that warrants vigilance and lowering your exposure every which route you can.
Go to your closet and toss out everything with polyester.
Any outerwear with soft or hard shell.
Then toss out any food or drink item stored or wrapped in plastic.
Toss your toothbrush.
Toss any non stick pan.
If your plates or bowls have any type of coating, toss them.
Its likely in your make up and lotions.
That's just a start.

Have yall done any PFAS investigations?
We began the process when the EPA starting their PFAS talk, mostly just background sampling for a baseline, but since they have slowly backed away some, we haven't really moved forward with anything
quote:
Even the EPA and FDA stance on PFAS is, to say the least, controversial and disjointed.
the EPA trying to figure out a sampling protocol without cross contamination is hilarious
they are in everything, from the PVC pipe, to the sampling container, to the gloves, to on the skin of the sampler, to the lab equipment, etc

Anything clothing material with polyester is going to have PFAS.
All of them.
All of them.

Very dumb.
My wife staying home, even after my kids are in school, makes all of our lives so much easier and less stressful.
