It is so easy to read that entirely wrong.

Surely you're not sullying an expression of visual preference, from the pure of heart, with flatulence....

I was once given a t-shirt by a class of students which read, "I hate to see you go..." on the front,
and "...but I love to watch you leave!" on the back.

In an educational setting? Awesome!

Sort of. It was a differential equations course at an engineering college. Most of the few women who tried didn't get through the calculus sequence. I saw one female student in that course in the 6 years I taught there.
It was right before Barbie proclaimed, "Math class is tough!"

Passing has many meanings. And one should not wear one's heart on one's fanny.

Looking at the robots again, I'm somewhat horrified. OTOH, it makes sense that you would not want a slug-throwing weapon in a space station, so the robots have no guns. But those pincher claws look like they could sever a limb like a pipe cutter going through PVC. Nasty.

If it was a matter of having room to put them up, I bet Winslow would fit on an SD card, and does it seem just possible that there might be spare robot bodies lying around the station?

Dredging this back up... I haven't been keeping up.
Your comment made me think about the "pretty sure she's not a secret robot" comment (waaay back) in 2104. Since so much on the station is run by AI (trash cans, Station, Spaceship...) seems like it'd be risky to bring any other AI up. Presumably Station has good security embedded, but imagine Pintsize with a USB cable. Or lonely station eager to make friends getting be convinced by Pintsize to "let him drive for a while" ensuing lulz or dram0rz.
As long as I'm spitballing, while Winslow would presumably be vetted by Hannelore, being an Apple product possibly there's some proprietary part of his OS that his AI component couldn't access? Putting him on an SD card or equivalent, you could never be sure if there wasn't some lingering thing that Hanners didn't see as part of her review. (of course, we haven't looked in every bit of Hanners' bag, so Winslow may even be in there and we just haven't found out about it, though Pintsize is definitely on earth per 2126).
