The more frequently a memory is recalled, the stronger it becomes. However, should the neurons involved in a memory pathway ever be damaged or destroyed, that memory is also damaged or destroyed.
Yes, even if the individual can regenerate neurons. Deadpool should have worse amnesia than Logan.
BenRG:
In my eyes, today's strip is a direct sequel to the last panel in the previous strip in more than one way. Bubbles was talking about the hole in her heart and how she's only ever been able to disguise it for a little time. She's possibly not ready to admit this to herself but she's slowly coming to the realisation that she's found something with which to fill it. She's not only talking about Faye but the whole new circle of friends and associates that she's made through her.
That said, I maintain that Bubbles is attracted to Faye but I don't think that she's willing to act on it for a variety of reasons, "too soon" being the primary one but I'm pretty sure "too different in species terms" is in there too.
However, that's all in the future; right now, she's so very, very grateful for what she has already found with her friend. She's got a very sweet element to her nature that comes out occasionally.

Possibly, but Bubbles called it "artillery", and she is an ex-soldier. Do soldiers refer to the sort of light tube mortars that insurgents might employ as artillery? I'd have expected her to call it "mortar-fire", if that is what it was.
Bubbles is way too sleek to be compared to a Harley Davidson, but sleeping on any motorcycle would not be pleasant. Props to Bubbles for thinking of Faye's comfort. Incidentally, doesn't Faye look younger without her glasses?

Optical isolation would work, I think. That is, have the antennae outside the protective cage connected to some circuitry to convert the electrical signal into a modulated light-beam that is fed into a fibre-optic passed through the cage, and then convert the light-signal back into electrical inside.

Even an optical link goes through a (small) flaw in the shielding, though. And it would also be necessary to have the electronics powered by a long-life internal battery so that there are no power leads going through the shielding either.
