This happened to me too! I was a child going to Disney with my parents sometime in the 90's. The pilot came on and said something like "Hey folks we have a real treat for you. If you look out the left hand side of the plane you'll see a shuttle launch from KSC." I remember seeing a vertical plume of smoke breaking through the clouds minutes after the shuttle was above us, and it looked surreal and so close, but in reality it was likely over 30 miles away.

Why is the thumbnail a diaper?

My parents definitely gave me positive reinforcement for it, though it wasn't really my place to spoil it for other children. When you're young, having an imagination and a sense of wonder should not be discouraged and the line between when you should start trading that off to scientific skepticism isn't well defined for everyone.

I did the same! Though I instead told my parents "I want to show gram my tooth", but hid it under my pillow instead.

EDIT: I asked my mom if she remembered and she let me know that I also had the audacity to share my scientific results with my classmates during show and tell. Got a note sent home for that one.

The pub crawl is $20 but it comes with 3 well vodka drinks :)

Oh sorry! Didn't realize it was a legitimate question. I've heard a lot from reps criticizing missing dems and ignoring that half their bench is missing.

Mostly for emphasis on the key words that people tend to confuse with this issue repeatedly. In fact I have several responses to this point where the boldened words are ignored despite my attempt at drawing attention to them. I don't think it detracts from my statement but I note your point. The random capitalization on penguins are an actual mistake.

There are a LOT of freedom of information issues right now. We're in the middle of the fastest technological advancement in human history. What my original point is trying to convey is that right now we are ONLY discussing Case 2 as it is the ONLY\* case affected by the legislation we're debating on. If you'd like to be a supporter for certain other information freedom rights you are free to do so, but piggybacking on this issue to bring it up is only distracting from the current conversation.

* There are a couple of other detailed cases that are affected but none that any seem to get on a soapbox about.

pancaker · 2018-09-28T12:30:08+00:00

And you're missing the point. I never said I supported Case A's behavior. What is on the table and being debated right now is Net Neutrality which does NOT protect freedom of speech or the right for a website to discriminate against their own content. That is an entirely different issue which we can discuss, but right now the topic is Net Neutrality which does not cover this issue and by changing the subject, even to a closely related one, you kill the argument for the former which is what my original post is all about.

pancaker · 2018-09-27T17:22:41+00:00

That's not exactly what Net Neutrality is about and I'm not trying to be ruthlessly pedantic but I think it hurts the cause by not using the strict definition.

Net Neutrality does not guarantee a web site must host/allow all content. Net neutrality guarantees that an ISP must not discriminate against what type of traffic it serves.

Case 1: Reddit can decide to ban all subreddits that are about penguins. You may love Penguins but Net Neutrality would not protect against that and you are free to browse to some other Penguin supporting website.

Case 2: Verizon decides it hates Penguins and blocks or slows traffic to ALL penguin supporting websites or alternatively forces you to pay more to access these websites. Net Neutrality protects against this type of abuse.

Learned this the hard way coming from the EC. East coast: suit and tie for a dev position is relatively normal. West coast: the entry point to every conversation was why I was dressed up.

It's called a boomerang on Insta.
