It's my wife's birthday this weekend so we're going out with a bunch of friends. This is extra special because we scored a babysitter for our one-year-old, and we haven't really been out together much since he's been born. We're gonna go hard.

That, and Helldivers II, if the servers will let me in.

That sounds terrible. I hope you are doing ok now.

Paying them with an education is a good start, but it's a pittance compared to the amount of money they are bringing in for other people. Arguing that their education is the only compensation they should be getting is akin to saying "we don't need to pay the staff at our restaurant because we give them a free lunch during their shift."

I don't know what the answer is, but continuing to just offer them a scholarship while the adults in charge make money off their labor definitely isn't it.

I feel like every week we hear about some huge breakthrough that is supposed to revolutionize clean drinking water technology and save the world, but nothing ever comes of it.

I know this stuff takes time to develop, and not every idea is going to work, but it would be nice if one of these things actually did pan out and start being useful to solve our drinking water issues.
