I’m 6’6", I’ve always wanted a dog that could put its paws on my shoulders and look me in the eye.

That dog looks like it could do that!

That is a really interesting anecdote I find it both surprising and completely understandable.

Gosh, thank you so much!

This is my answer also. I wish I was multi-lingual.

I’m regularly on calls with people for whom English is not their primary language. Almost without fail they apologize for their poor English. I regularly tell those people, “please don’t apologize, you do me that courtesy of communicating with me in my native tongue. I am completely unable to reciprocate that courtesy.”

I’d love to be fluent in Spanish, French, German.

Given so many nannys on this thread, this is a fantastically helpful (if not relevant to the OP post).

In the States I’ve actually found Waze to meet most of my needs.

I did mine closer to 20 years ago, I’m guessing things might have changed a bit since then. That said I ran Gentoo on an IBM ThinkPad for about five years before switching to OSX.

After you’ve done Linux from scratch, Gentoo is a walk in the park

When I was growing up we had a little black mutt named Sootie. Around 8th grade I decided that Sootie should learn to play the piano, so I showed him how to get up on the keyboard. Arm of the couch to the piano bench, to the keyboard.

This became one of my mother’s favorite parlor tricks when we had company, “play the piano Sootie!” And off he would trot and go run down the keyboard.

Sometimes when he felt he was not getting the attention he deserved he’d go and play without being told.

Wait, rights? Civil liberties?

I’m probably in favor of net neutrality legislation (I’m not 100% sold on the concept as the whole issue of monopolistic ISPs is a government created issue, so asking government to resolve it doesn’t necessarily work for me).

But you completely lose me when you equate Internet access with civil liberties and rights. We have no more right to an Internet than we do to an ice cream stand on the corner.

This fantastic. Thank you very much.

How does this apply here? “Had plans” sounds to me like they were never implemented. If they executed on those plans that worked certainly have been an issue.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Can anyone point me to any cases where the lack of net neutrality has harmed customers.

I don’t believe I’ve seen any, but I also have not been paying very close attention to the subject.

My problem right now is I created my character and am very happy with them in character creator, but when I look at him in game I’m unhappy. I’ve even paid to tweak him a bit and it’s better but I’m still not happy.

Cop: why are you nervous?

Me: I’m always nervous around people who can kill me with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so.

Don’t make the mistake of making this your first audio book, it will ruin all other audio books for you.

I’m a free speech absolutist.

That got a laugh!

Gosh sometimes people disagreed with me. That was horrible!
