Haha man I read a headline about this and it said something like "DEBATE CANCELLED BECAUSE OF FAN!" So I expected to see some crazy, naked fan running on stage or something. Nooo...said fan was of the small, whirring type. Just insane.

2014-10-17 11:23 #4You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

btw is there any information out there about the actual debate? Goggling "Rick Scott and Charlie Crist's Debate" just gives pages and pages of apparent fan controversy.

Any time a thread begins with "Meanwhile, in Florida" I know it can't end well.
Yet I look anyway.

This honestly makes me want to check out of humanity because I have no hope left for it.

On one hand yeah, he was a dick for bringing a fan.
On the other hand, PICK YOUR FUCKING BATTLES. Mock him for it, but don't refuse to debate because of it.

As someone who is perpetually hot, I don't see how wanting a fan down in FLORIDA makes you a dick.

It was in the rules that no electronic devices are allowed. Then there was a hand written part on the bottom that said they could request a fan to make themselves comfortable.
Either way, it's a fucking fan Mr. Governor, calm the fuck down.

Science is hard guys!
The distinction comes from the two fields of electrical engineering and electronics (which some consider a subset of the former). Electronics refers to technology that works by controlling the motion of electrons in ways that go beyond electrodynamic properties like voltage and current. That is, electrical technology would work the same if you replaced electrons by some other charge-carrying particles, but electronic technology depends on the specific properties of electrons themselves, such as in semiconductor medium. Because electronic devices are typically used for representing and manipulating information, this makes for a simple rule of thumb for distinguishing electrical and electronic. Typically, if something uses electricity merely as energy, it is electrical, while if it uses electricity as the medium for manipulating information, it is almost surely electronic.
A fan with an AC motor is not electronics any more than a horse is a car. Fucking idiots all up in that state...
