Ride-hailing service Lyft has always offered passengers the option to tip their drivers and all those tips have added up — to half a billion dollars.
The San Francisco company announced Monday its riders have tipped a total exceeding $500 million. More than half of those extra earnings came in 2017. It took tipping a while to catch on — the first $100 million came in over a four-year period. Then last year $260 million was tipped in one year, with $100 million coming in in the past four months.

Up to 60 percent of the average human body is made of water, making it essential to how our bodies function.
On top of this, it’s important to make sure we have enough water in our systems on a daily basis. Hydration is key to our health since it helps the heart pump blood more easily, and it may also play a role in the prevention of some chronic diseases.
We’ve all heard the recommendation to drink sixty-four-ounces of water a day, but in reality that’s much easier said than done. Here are tips for getting enough water in addition to drinking the good stuff. Read more…

Fortnite, or more specifically its Battle Royale mode, is pretty great. It’s sort of like The Hunger Games, only with fewer mutant wolves.
Basically 100 of you get airdropped onto an island where you go running around looking for guns and loot and taking each other out until there’s only one person left standing.
Anyway, after many hours of playtime and a large number of embarrassing failures, I’ve now managed to win a whopping — wait for it — five games.
