It is sound and prudent judgment based on a simple, I thought simple was important, a simple perception of the situation of facts. I sort of liked that. And then the other one I sort of liked was the common sense, this is from Wikipedia actually, is more or less universal, which a universal thought that is held more or less without reflection. So apparently it's something you don't have to, or not supposed to have to think about. It's just something that comes to you or that you have. So I don't know, is that pretty dry information? Well, that's the best I could come up with. KN6UYZ, this is my 73 round. I'm gonna go back to sleep. Thanks everybody. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. KN6UYZ, well have a great rest there buddy. And thank you for joining us, really appreciate it. All right, we move on down to Chuck, AA4HI. Chuck, define common sense for me and give me an example if you can. This is KC2PKG. I agree, AA4HI. I guess common sense is, to me, is not only understanding how to do, you have to be able to implement it, I guess is what I'm saying. You know, being extremely smart. But the smallest things, you know, not being able to understand. Because I really can't think of anything any better than what someone else has said. But I guess you always think about someone as really smart, but I don't know. It's very difficult for them to do simple tasks. And I don't even know if that's even a fair assessment, but you know, because all I've got is from years of someone saying someone doesn't have common sense. But I think a lot of people have common sense. You know, a lot of people, as we know, are not all geniuses, but they can work with their hands and figure problems out and have a lot of good reasoning skills, you know, with other people. I think that's important. I think that has a lot to do with common sense too. Instead of just being directly by the book, being able to talk to someone and explain to them what's going on. That's what I guess it is to me, Gray. Back on you, A4-John. A4-HI, this is KC2PKG. Yeah, it's something beyond being book smart. Chuck seems to be hinting. We used to have a lot of people who had taken every test, knowing the man in the computer business, and yet they had a lot of trouble applying that knowledge. And they did because they didn't sort of have a sense of how everything fits together. That's my example anyway. All right, Carrie, MM0RKN. Tell me what common sense is. And if you have any examples, I'd love to hear them. This is KC2PKG. MM0RKN, I think common sense is something that you kind of develop as you navigate the world. You get more and more of it as you mature, let's say, squat. And as you mature, you get better at it. And I think I worked on myself when I was younger. And my grandma, I visited her very frequently, but I remember the best day that I visited her, to tell her that I was going to university. I passed all my exams, I'd get really good marks. That was fine. And when I visited, I made her a coffee. And she went into the kitchen, and she said to me, this was her words, give me the clever, but you have no common sense. And the example here is, I've made the coffee, but I had left the milk sitting out in the counter. I hadn't put it back in the fridge. And of course, if the milk's left out in the counter, it's going to turn. So that's my example, but I think it comes with maturity. MM0RKN, back to neck control. MM0RKN, this is K2PKG, you're the second person to come. And you've heard you haven't got any common sense. And I often wonder what people mean when they say that. To me, it always sounds like you don't believe what I do. You don't have any common sense. And it's often used as an insult, which I think is, that's the interesting thing. But we've heard that from a couple different people. It is an insult when you say somebody doesn't have common sense. We'll find out. N9OFU Bill, what is common sense? And do you have any examples? Over to you. N9OFU, this is KC2PKG. Thank you, Greg. I've been refining my answer, my response. Because, I mean, just breaking down the word common, it's something that's common, something that everybody knows, kind of just takes for granted. Like if you take a loaded gun pointed at someone and pull the trigger, you're gonna shoot them. If you stick your hand in the fire, you're gonna get burned. If you snip the red wire instead of the blue wire, you're gonna blow up. No, just things that, because of shared experience, especially like here in the United States, I mean, it's not just a regional type thing, but there are some regional aspects to it. But it's things that everybody has in common as far as what they know, and then being able to implement it in your everyday life, like don't stick your hand in a fire, don't load a gun at somebody and pull the trigger. These things are just common sense things that you know if you do it, there's going to be an adverse result or effect or an effect that's going to be a result or a gun result or effect. But just based on what you want to achieve, doing the thing that you know is gonna get you to that point because there are some people out there that think if they do this or if they do that, nothing bad's gonna happen or something good's gonna happen and it doesn't because they don't have the common sense or the shared experience that other people have that would have known, no, that's not what you want to do if you want to achieve a certain goal. That's gonna achieve the opposite. So it's something that most people know or take for granted because of shared experience, shared experience, why everybody's seen this movie, everybody's heard of that story, so everybody knows that you don't want to do that and then someone comes along and does it because they didn't see that movie or they didn't hear that story and they thought that doing that would have a different effect even though everybody else knows that that was wrong. So it's a common experience, a common sense. Back to you. N9-OFU, this is KC2-PKG. One second. Had to clear my throat. Shared experience, shared knowledge, common knowledge that is common among groups of people. That's interesting. That's a very interesting thing to bring out. All right, Jeff, KM4-QVC. Tell me what common sense is and do you have an example? It's over to you, Jeff. This is KC2-PKG over to KM4-QVC. This is Repeater Station- KC2-PKG, KM4-QVC, well, great. All these answers have been really good. I don't have anything to add much. I like what Bill said and I like what Josh said. By the way, happy birthday, Josh. I just saw that on your wife, I think, did a Facebook post. So happy birthday from North Carolina. Anyway, on gray, I, you know, I told them I like what Bill said and what Josh said and what Chuck said to you, so I'll just leave it at that. But I do know this. I can tell you this, gray, I know people that have it and I know people that doesn't have it. I'm a pretty good judge on that side of it. KM4-QVC, back to you, bud. KM4-QVC, this is KC2-PKG. It's a very difficult question. I'm glad I'm asking it. And I'm finding out you're kind of educating me on what you're feeling about the phrase common sense. So I'm happy about that. Marie, KI7ODD, tell me what common sense is and can you cite an example? Over to you, Marie. KI7ODD, this is KC2-PKG.
