Thanks for the quote, but it's still not a cut to the grant itself.

Believe it or not, I also think university research depts should continue to exist and that major budget shortfalls due to this are not in our best interest.

Hope your abrasive remarks are making you feel better.

If my statement was wrong, feel free to correct it. But based on reading the article, this change is not a "cut" to grants as you indicated in your title.

Will this change cause significant disruption? Almost certainly. But there's an argument to be made for the change, namely that NIH grants should support the science rather than the university and that university overhead costs should be subsidized in some other way.

This isn't a cut (yet), it's a budgetary allocation requirement. It matches what is already required by most private non-profits.

Translation: following time travel, everything resets to exactly as it was before time travel.

Not exactly groundbreaking, considering this is assumed by the premise of a closed timeline curve.

You could buy a couple of acres of land and turn it into a forest preserve. And then don't let anyone buy it to build or cut down trees / etc.

Depending on how much you care, you could even plant a sustainable forest and grow hardwood as an investment.

Yeah, but he also brought Treebeard to Isengard, leading the ents to overthrow Saruman. Did that not make the list?

He did plenty. In the movie he lit the beacon to call Rohan. Fought in the battle for Minas Tirith, where he saved Gandalf's life. Saved Faramir's life. Saved Merry's life.

Sauron himself questioned Pippin and came away with the conclusion that he should apply his army and attention toward Minas Tirith and Gondor rather than continuing to look for the real ring-bearer right under his nose. Essentially made the entire gambit with Frodo possible.

This has been a pro-Pippin PSA
