Research vs CRUD dev for part-time work

I'm a student who's been working part-time for an academic department's tech support for about a year, essentially building Python CRUD programs. It pays decently (though underpaid as a dev) and is flexible, but I recently found an RA position in a robotics lab that offers $5/hr more.

I think this would be more interesting work, but I'd prefer to work in my school's HCI lab when they have openings available. I'm juggling one other job, and I'd essentially have to choose between the CRUD dev or research job.

Do you all think it'd be beneficial to keep the CRUD job if I intend to go into SWE or R&D in the long term, or should I quit and become an RA? Also, would hopping between multiple

Research vs. startup SWE internship

I'm in a fortunate position right now where I'm debating between three different summer internship. Ignoring compensation and job security, they all seem to have pros/cons:

  1. REU through my school focused on security/privacy tracking: good way to get into CS research while having some ownership over my project due to a small team; can roll over into the school year, but this also means I could do something else this summer
  2. REU at a national lab focused on edge computing and ML: the topic seems interesting and is completely new to me, but I'm unsure if I'd want a career doing ML. I do want to learn more about it before I graduate, though.
  3. Full-stack web development at a local startup:

WSIB for $4 or less on the Humble Store?

[PC]

I've got $4 of credit left on the Humble store that's going to expire by the end of the year, and I'd like to pick up a hidden gem puzzle or adventure game if possible. Other recommendations are welcome (of any genre aside from horror), as long as they're good games :)

For some reference, my Steam profile lists some of the games I enjoy and those that I have, though it's quite a lot to parse through. Let's just say some of my favorite games of all time include the Zelda series, the Arkham series, Mini Metro, and Tomb Raider.

TKTS for first show

I'm taking some of my friends to see their first Broadway show tomorrow by buying tickets through TKTS. I've seen a lot so far, but I was thinking of either CFA, Beetlejuice, Waitress, or Frozen. Which shows should be our top choices for an overall good experience, as they might not all be available?

Personally, I'll also be heading off to Chicago, so I'd prefer to see something that wouldn't be easily available to me in the future.

Creating a ranked list from pairwise comparisons and ratings

I developed an application that allows users to rank distinct objects on a scale from 0-2 as well as compare the current object that they're ranking to the previous object that they ranked (i.e. a user gives A a 1, then gives B a 1, then says B>A). The order of the objects given is completely random and may contain repeat objects for a given user. In the end, 18 users make approximately 40 comparisons and 40 rankings each, for a set of 60 objects (number of users and objects may vary, but each object receives approximately 12 rankings and 24 comparisons in total).

What would be the easiest and most accurate way to create a ranked list from this data?

I've tried simply adding up the

Dining Critiques?

Dining

We're a family of three (one teen & parents) and plan on getting the Disney Dining Plan, and we're hoping to get the best food for our money, while trying new restaurants (not just 'Ohana, Chef Mickey, etc.). Could you give any suggestions for our dining plans?

Also, would it be feasible to use only two QS credits for ABC Commissary, Tangierine Cafe, and/or Backlot Express if we eat snacks later on? Thanks!
