* How are May and Dale's roommate practicalities? Does May have her own room? Or does she use the sofa? Or sleep in Dale's bed (as this strip seems to imply, unless Dale and Marigold have been banging on May's sofa while she was out)?
* Why is May so upset? Is she jealous? Or is she mad because of Dale's sloppy housekeeping? An empty condom wrapper is hardly unhygienic (used condoms is another matter...)?

They had sex on May's bed is the implication.

Multiple processor cores? Distributed around the station so a meteor strike won't lobotomise the life-support.
Edit: Spelling fail.

I'm sure there's non AI backups to Station, he might be organizing and coordinating everything, but it would be foolish to not have dedicated back ups and sub-systems.

Great article here. It seems like all animals need some form of sleep, to defragment or reorganize their brains. By extension, this process would also be necessary for AIs. In cases where sleeping might be dangerous, such as in marine mammals, it seems the two brain hemispheres alternate on sleeping, perhaps equivalent to what Station does with his multiple processor cores.
