"We must stop equating translation with mere word substitution."
Well said. Translators do so much more: we translate meaning, emotion, culture, tone, in all their nuances. And to be able to do that, you have to actually understand language.

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
Live here and am in grad school here. I have one class where 13 out of the 15 in it are leaving the state or country at end of semester.
That funding loss will really impact the summer where the population is half that so it’s about $2k per person.

Would really love if Green Day would just re-release American Idiot like it's a new album. So many people have memory holed it or didn't pay attention and we really need that energy right now.

Waffle House announced its all-day breakfast will now cost an extra 50 cents for each egg. The temporary surcharge, which went into effect on Monday, is meant to address the rising cost of eggs because of a shortage caused by the bird flu.
Want Eggs With Your Breakfast? Pay a Surcharge, Waffle House Says.
The restaurant chain, which serves breakfast all day, said it was adding the temporary 50-cent surcharge because the bird flu has caused a shortage in the egg supply.
