I had quite a few nice beers at @BirriLambrate@twitter.com in via Golgi. But Via Adelchi is ❤️🏠

Spent the last 30 minutes playing with the dog in the snow (it's almost 1 am here).

Agenda was:
1. Who can ROLL down the hill fastest
2. Fetching snowballs downhill & uphill
3. Hide & seek behind pine trees
4. Bury beneath the snow
5. Run until you are out of breath

I can barely catch my breath now, but damn that was fun and the doggo is ultra happy.

#Venezuela will launch its own #cryptocurrency in an effort to evade effects of US financial sanctions https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/venezuela-to-launch-cryptocurrency-to-fight-trump-sanctions/2017/12/03/11490c94-d875-11e7-a241-0848315642d0_story.html?utm_term=.d762d24e1509

I'm feeling very fortunate & grateful today that my school, Lansing Community College, only made the local news yesterday. Very fortunate that we aren't talking about #LansingStrong today.

We were ordered to evacuate campus yesterday ~2:20pm because two people contacted police about what their "friend", another student, was planning to do after 3pm.

Police arrested the student at 3pm - with AR-15, dozens of magazines, boxes of ammo, and extra rifles.

@bthall So, perhaps with your background in a Philosophy major turned Economics major, you could provide this kind of holistic perspective to your approach of Economics.

@bthall Perhaps we could help OSM with a feature to show scenic highways on their map and offer a scenic routing option. I don't think there's much we can do to influence google, they're more interested in the reverse.

Two children have just completed a task. Both are praised for completing it.

Child 1 hears: "You're so smart, good job!"

Child 2 hears: "You did such good work, good job!"

They feel roughly the same, but there's a substantial difference. Consider the implications:

Child 1 hears: "You have an innate ability that allowed you to complete this task."

Child 2 hears: "You did a lot of work that allowed you to complete this task."

Now do you see the difference?
