Marriage could have a 30-day challenge
By Hicbd
"In a last-ditch effort to reconnect, they agreed on what they called a "30-day challenge." For a month, each promised to change one thing that the other wanted. Things got better, then better still, and today, they say they are closer than ever."

Teacher surveys could evaluate principals / principal surveys could evaluate administrators
By Hicbd
"Teachers have a unique perspective because they see principals daily and experience their leadership practices directly. Including teacher input in principal evaluations therefore could produce richer and more comprehensive information on principal performance that would be useful not only for human resources decisions in the central office but also to help principals improve their leadership."

Teachers, principles, administrators could have carefully designed merit-based pay
By Hicbd
"Merit pay, or compensating teachers for classroom performance rather than their years on the job and coursework completed, found some support in the 1980s among policy makers and school administrators, who saw it as a way to encourage good teachers to work harder and to weed out the bad ones. But teachers saw it as a gimmick used by principals to reward cronies based on favoritism."

The elderly could have inflatable airbags that detect falls
By Hicbd
"Released in 2019, these inflatable cests and belts are equipped with a micro gyroscope and processor that detects the motion and angle of fall. Once a fall is detected, the airbag inflates in just 0.18 seconds, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury by providing a cushioned landing. According to CDC, 1 out of 5 falls results in head injury or broken bones. The wearable airbag prevents those injuries from happening."

Movies could be made fun of / riffed on
By Hicbd
"(Mystery Science Theater 3000) initially starred Hodgson as Joel Robinson, a janitor trapped by two mad scientists ("The Mads") on the Earth-orbiting Satellite of Love and forced to watch a series of B movies[2] to monitor his reaction to them. To keep his sanity, Joel crafts sentient robot companions, including Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, Cambot and Gypsy, to keep him company and help him humorously comment on each movie as it plays, a process known as riffing."
