FOB

Read a random definition: enactment

A quick definition of FOB:

FOB: This is a term used in shipping. It means that the seller is responsible for getting the goods to a certain point, usually a port or airport. Once the goods are at that point, the buyer takes over and is responsible for getting them to their final destination. It's like a relay race, where one person passes the baton to the next person.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: FOB stands for Free on Board. It is a shipping term that indicates who is responsible for the goods during transportation and when the ownership of the goods is transferred from the seller to the buyer.

For example, if a seller agrees to sell a product to a buyer FOB shipping point, it means that the buyer is responsible for the goods once they leave the seller's warehouse. The buyer will also be responsible for any damages or losses that occur during transportation. On the other hand, if the seller agrees to sell the product FOB destination, it means that the seller is responsible for the goods until they reach the buyer's warehouse.

Another example is when a company orders a large quantity of goods from a supplier overseas. The supplier may offer FOB shipping terms, which means that the supplier will be responsible for the goods until they are loaded onto the ship. Once the goods are on the ship, the buyer will be responsible for any damages or losses that occur during transportation.

These examples illustrate how FOB terms can impact the responsibility and ownership of goods during transportation. It is important for buyers and sellers to understand these terms to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes.

UCI hella liberal and trans. I think you would like it. More liberal than like Berk and UCLA if you can imagine. @Eggan

I did astrophysics for 3 years and hated it. Dropped out of my first college cus of it. @limpweeny

Do not recommend studying physics. Super boring, a lot of math, and most results are not replicable.

Ill say this though. I studied a lot of Otto Hahn and was happy to see him at the start of Oppenheimer. Made a little appearance. Nice tribute.

@Dkk: i know the makeup of UCI but im not from california and i didn't like how i'd have to be isolated from the labor movement since it's not very close to LA and OC is mostly a bunch of rich people tbh
19:09
i like berk's proximity to san francisco. the bay area is full of surprises when it comes to labor
19:11
thats why i'm mostly centered on cities with major labor activity this cycle (besides chicago) such as NYC, boston DC (where the union headquarters usually are)
19:11
Anyone else hella concerned w the uptick in applicants? Not sure if I can use the LSD data of the past to reference
some dean said they're only expecting 5-15% increase over the whole cycle, still not great, but not 30% like currently
19:15
Ohhh okay thank goodness. I saw +38% and lowk got scared
19:16
That doesn’t seem too bad if they increase class size by a bit 🙏

Ahh that is true but OC Disney Unions. Can always be involved in those. Some of the biggest unions in California. I was part of that for a couple years but my union was corrupt. @Eggan

Berk is definitely more fun. Unions in LA are of course the screen actors guild and then hospitality stuff like restaurants. It will be good wherever you go imo if that is what you are into.

@sadpadresfan: yeah, Spivey said the same thing wasp pointed out. 30% to start to 15% at the end. I think part of it may also be people just want more variety. Maybe a similar amount of applicants but more variety. More waitlist movement potentially this year. Schools fighting harder for people.
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: the NU dean. Him and Spivey did a podcast on it.
And if you look at the numbers they're starting to come down. A couple weeks ago we were up 36 percent up, now we're only 26 percent up.

@texaslawhopefully: if you are trying to do texas law, why not go to UT Austin. Probably better scholarships for you compared to Harvard and its a pipeline. Unless, of course, scholarships don't matter in your case.
i studied hard stem but i just hate being in an actual lab lol
depends on the type of lab work that you do, the only thing i did enjoy doing was bacterial genetics because that shit is super fast and fun, but working in a wet lab is just a lottttt of sitting and waiting around
hence law, lmao
@NotJustALawyer: I'm trying to do an appellate clerkship and the very top schools just have better placement. And yes, I'm still considering UT, but I think with my numbers I can get scholarship money at most of the T14.
Also I made my username before I had my lsat back and then UT was my top choice, but I’ve been somewhat open geographically. I also have ties to Texas so I don’t think it’d be hard to get back here if I left the state for law school.
