Thrudd:
Bad QI - they don't have owners. They have "Human Partners" aka "bags of mostly water".

--- Quote from: Lubricus on 03 May 2015, 22:24 ---My reaction to today's comic is a suspicion that Momo wants to be as human as possible, and therefore avoids turning off her audio receptors to cancel out the noise. She DOES seem a fair bit more humanesque than the other AnhtroPCs, and it would fit her character. Then again, i might be completely off as usual.

She seems the most robotic to me. Although a lot of me thinking that is the formality and politeness, which might be just as much that she's (kinda) japanese. Still, I see her as someone while active in wanting respect and equal rights, isn't really trying to be human. Even if she likes a few humans things, like owning a bed she doesn't really need.
And she's always the one who explains why AIs are different then humans. Their beliefs, what they think of people, all that stuff.
--- Quote ---Me too, I have been missing Momo so much. But it is possible that this is just a filler strip, and that we shall return to Veronica's apartment tomorrow. If that involves Sam, I am all for it.
EDIT: Even if it is just a filler, it ranks high on my list of favorite strips.

It certainly feels like the start of a arc, Momo narrating her day much like Clinton did. Veronica's housewarming did end abruptly though, but if the theory that he was going to talk trans issues was right and he needs time to hammer out a proper narrative that's fine. And it should be noted, while it's probably a typo, we did go from strip 2951 to 2962. Maybe it's intentional and in a week we go back where we left off with 2952 at Veronica's. But yeah, probably a typo.
In other news, Clinton's started a trend.

Ahhh! Thrudd you went there! LOL.
So do we have to come back 300 years then maybe they trust?
As far as the comic goes, poor Momo. That's never a fun way to get disturbed.
Is it cold in here?:
Word of Jeph, somewhere, is that everybody intelligent needs an equivalent of sleep. There's also a comic where Momo says she doesn't need sleep, then there's also one in which she says she can go into sleep mode while sitting up.
If Pintsize stayed awake all night, he would have driven Marten insane, so that's indirect evidence that AnthroPCs sleep.
How does Station manage?

He probably does it the dolphin way and shuts down half his processor arrays for one period and shuts down the others for another. It means, of course, that when he has both sets up and running, he's twice as smart as normal. of course, his mind is so vast I doubt that even most AIs would be capable of telling the difference.
Also: May has also said that she has a 'sleep mode'. FWIW, I think that Momo's comment about not needing sleep should be considered retconned out.
