@BillieJeanKing You should never categorize anyone anything except "human being"

Never assign a label.

Once you have established that "object"' you can begin to assign attributes such as 'child', 'black', 'student', 'man', 'tall', 'Hatian', 'intelligent'.

But, first, start with 'human being'.

If someone says "Common Sense" I immediately know that they don't understand the topic and they cerrtainly don't understand the problem.

@BiPiSci I completely do not agree with this premise.
You can build new knowledge by using what information you already have and processing it through your brain. New insights. New data. Repeat.
This is especially true if you structure the best-practice in a structured format.

@thehill That's hard to do when kissing that person's ass.

@gigadgets_ If you can achieve that level of cooling with just wind, you can easily harvest water from air. That level of cooling would initiate condensation of 35C (95F) air with only 18% relative humidity (RH). That's the RH of the Sahara at mid-day.

@ChrisCuomo If you spend more quality time focusing on the problem-definition you will have both civil discourse and insight into your opponent's quality of mind on the topic. Avoid solution-discussion until you are confident of the problem-definition.

@grynbaum @brianstelter @nickbilton @nytimes It won't change my mind about boycotting all CBS content now that Colbert was cancelled.

@ianbremmer Don't you think the CIA has been asking for a delay while they stand up rebel groups to topple the government?

The death of a mother is an architypical event.
Regardless of how close you were with her.
It has been surprising for me: I have prided myself on knowing myself quite well.
There are, apparently, deeper structures in ourselves that don't wish to be seen.
Stay humble.

@RealTimers @billmaher @DavidAFrench @dgjones @HBO Community is the foundation of objective morality.
Supporting the community, be it the family, church, state or species, will improve its chances of a successful future. Working against that diminishes that chance.

@zoox Will Zoox offer a martini bar option?

@joegarofoli
Another angle: Pelosi endorsed Chan because Chan is probably not going to get a top-2 spot. So, no harm no foul.

If she does endorse Weiner in the general it will be more of a statement about AOC than Weiner.

@PeterZeihan Depending upon the scale of the explosion, it may have been a local insurgent with a scrappy drone hack.

Incredible renovation.
Their style is really growing on me.

Why don't these candidates ask Becerra why he supported evicting 700 at-risk patient-residents from Laguna Honda Hosp. when he ran HHS? 12 died before we stopped him! 1700 signatures on https://t.co/oIVKrDlX2J.
How can he talk about fixing the healthcare system?

Why not? The state is carpeted with electric vehicles and they still wear out the roads and bridges. Tax the renewal instead. Or design a system to track mileage and bill for that at renewal.

[Mayor Matt Mahan @MattMahanSJ]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Suspend the gas tax. #CAGovDebate

@Wabs4h Nope. Not here.

@MatthewBerman Find a fixer-upper that has been authorized with a higher height limit. Knock it down and go to the max with floors and units. Sell off the lower ones and own a free penthouse. You just have to manage the build. AI should help with that if you can get the labor. Robot?
