Can I save net neutrality by cutting my cable modem's cables?
So, as many of you are aware, net neutrality may be eliminated today. I know many people have contacted congressmen, but we all know politicians will never act in favor of U.S. citizens. I've been referred to as a genius beyond my years, so I have come up with a plan that will almost certainly work.
So as you know, cable provides internet services by connecting our house outlets to their internal mainframe at the ISP HQ. Whenever somebody purchases an internet plan, the cable organization has to buy more wire to expand the web and connect each house's outlet to the internet.
You've all heard the term "we pay with our wallets," I presume, so I've been thinking: to save net neutrality, what if we cut our cable modem wires?
Now, your intellect may not be as vast nor fruitful as mine, so allow me to explain my stance. My technological prowess is aware that electrical currents stop if the wire channeling said current is cut in any form.
If I cut my cable modem's wires, won't the cable company's mainframe be rendered completely useless? I doubt they'd be able to track me, so it's a pretty safe bet. What they WILL know, however, is that this was done in the name of net neutrality. ISPs will have no choice but to rebel against Ajit Pai and preserve the image of the internet as we know it.
Should I cut my cable modem wires to save net neutrality? I'm ready to do it if you guys give me the OK, and I affirm that I, single-handedly, can save net neutrality.

The problem notes that the change in enthalpy in the solution is +26 kJ/mol. Ignore the heat capacity of NaNO3.
NaNO3(s) -> Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
2 AnswersChemistry3 years agoShould I ask this girl to prom if I don't know her all that well?
I'm a senior plus at my high school (attending an early college, so I'm enrolled for 5 years rather than the traditional 4) and, while I haven't been particularly interested in prom, this is my last year of high school and know I'll regret it if I don't participate in this penultimate chapter of high school. However, I've been considering the prospect of actually asking a girl to prom rather than going alone (as I initially intended).
I have one girl in mind; she's a year below me (gonna refer to her as Nic for convenience), but her sister is in my grade. Nic's sister used to be in my friends circle but we slowly drifted away from one another in our senior year. In my sophomore year we made a few exchanges and she would occasionally be flirtatious with me. In my sophomore year, she made an inappropriate remark to which I jokingly said "same" and she blushed for a good bit. In my junior year, she used more lewd remarks to compliment me.
In spite of this, I haven't really sat down and experienced a full conversation with her. We also haven't talked that much since my junior year. Two years later, Nic's really developed into a beautiful woman. I'd love to go to prom with her, but I don't really know how to approach the situation. I'm not really certain if I want to have a relationship, so I don't want to sound like I want her to be my girlfriend or anything. I just feel that it would be weird coming out of nowhere and asking her to accompany me to prom.
Any advice? Thanks!

6 AnswersOther - Food & Drink4 years agoDry mouth and frequent urination, not diabetic?
I'm a 19 year-old male, and for the past two years, my mouth and throat are really dry 80 percent of the time, despite drinking a glass or two of water upon waking up. Additionally, I urinate at least 10 times per day, and wake up every night to use the bathroom.
Last year, my pediatrician tested me for diabetes and found my blood sugar to be a normal level, so that is likely not the cause. I'm a healthy weight, and diabetes doesn't run in my family (as far as I'm aware).
What could be causing this? The only prescribed medicines I currently take are Prevacid 30mg and Guanfacine ER 2mg.
Any ideas? Thanks!
1 AnswerOther - Health4 years agoIs it true that birthday cake is better for you on your birthday?
I visited my doctor recently and he said my health seemed to be declining slightly. I was kinda worried since tomorrow (June 4) is my birthday and I wanted to eat cake. I asked him if it would be okay, and he surprised me by informing me that birthday cake is actually healthy if you consume it on your birthday (has more antioxidants or something like that?).
Is this true? If so, would it be fine to eat my entire cake tomorrow? Thanks!
21 AnswersOther - Food & Drink4 years agoCan we genetically modify watermelons to walk and talk like people?
So I've kinda been a loner throughout my life and dislike a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of things. However, one thing that has always been precious to me is watermelon.
So I thought, if I had a watermelon buddy who was shaped like a human, walked like a human, and TALKED like a human, I would never need to feel lonely again.
Do scientists take requests??? Can I walk into a lab and ask a scientist to make me a watermelon buddy? Where? Thanks!
5 AnswersVideo & Online Games4 years agoHelp me improve the flow of my poem?
I'm writing a poem, and I just finished a very rough draft. I was seeking for help with improving the poem's flow to help it roll off the tongue more easily. Here it is:
Crimson:
Crimson, Crimson, the world is a volatile kaleidoscope
Dwindling, it carries hapless souls in its violent pollution
You consume me, and my vision becomes ever clearer
To escape, unaware, is the bittersweet yet calming solution.
In the eyes of the damned, harsh reality can mesmerize
Yet the holders, they longingly approach death’s door
Equipped, the Crimson perceives no error, a befitting illusion
With it in hand, the nightmares I shall behold nevermore.
The novelty worn, the spectacle leaves me trapped in a void
Crimson brought me to salvation: this world, devoured by sin too adept
Should one thrive in his own fantasy if it erases the cognizance of reality?
Crimson has restored the hilarity of which this world has been bereft
Abandoning my profound duty of restoration, I have found my answer
The die has been cast, fate has appeared ever glummer
Why should I succumb to the engulfing flame of this hellish winter
When I can drink a lethal dose of your Crimson: my perennial summer?
1 AnswerPoetry4 years agoGirl I met at a party liked two of my Instagram posts, but she hasn't liked any of her guy friends' recent posts. Does this mean anything?
I met a girl at a friend's 18th birthday party a couple weeks ago, and followed her on Instagram.
I posted two selfies recently, and she liked both of the posts. I also followed some of the other guys at the party, who happen to be some of her best guy friends. Surprisingly, I noticed that there were only one or two of their posts that she liked from a while back.
Does this mean anything, or am I overthinking the situation? Thanks!
2 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships4 years agoIf I send a spear into space and it pierces the sun, will the sun explode?
I've been called a genius of my time now and then, and I think I have a decent plan to warm up Mars. Elon Musk wanted to bomb Mars, but that's easily gonna be very expensive.
I was thinking, if we send a spear into space and it ends up hitting the sun, could it pierce it? This could be a groundbreaking discovery.
If the sun is penetrated, then the heat building up inside would have to escape the newly formed hole! The heat will be carried by the sun's light waves and head straight to Mars. The heat will be trapped in Mars's atmosphere and it will be inhabitable!
What do you guys think of this idea? Any feedback for my plan would be appreciated. Can't wait to see what NASA has to say about this.

7 AnswersDogs4 years agoShould I ask a girl for her number if I barely know her?
A few weeks ago, I introduced myself to a relatively new girl at my school who I find absolutely beautiful. We talked and joked and whatnot, but we don't have any classes together so I only see her walking around occasionally. I recently tried to sit with her again but her friend kept trying to butt in and pull her away when I tried to make conversation with her.
My friend's sister (who has class with her) found out that the girl's friend finds me really annoying, to which the girl attested "No he isn't!" So basically, I can't talk to the girl without her friend butting in. I do notice her staring at me during lunch, though. I want to get to know her better before asking her out, and wanted to ask her for her number.
Since I've only actually spoken to her two or three times, would this be weird? I planned on doing it at a school festival happening next week. I'm pretty certain that she knows I like her (based on her staring at me), but am afraid of rejection. What do you guys think? Thanks!

I've had downloaded an entire Avenged Sevenfold album on my phone via Amazon Prime Music around a month ago, and today I got charged for it. What in the world? I was not notified that I would eventually have to pay for it, and apparently I can't refund music. Why could this have happened?
1 AnswerOther - Internet5 years agoGirl I like playfully teased me?
Today I introduced myself to a relatively new girl at my school whom I find pretty attractive. We talked for around 20 minutes, and went to a book store on campus to buy chips. Her friend went in, and then she held the door open for me and said "ladies first, hehe!" while smiling.
Note that she was also laughing and messing with her glasses after I told (pretty terrible) jokes.
Is this a potential sign of interest or does she just feel bad for me? Is it too early to tell? Any advice would be appreciated.
