Also, a robot using a fax machine!
A sentient robot using a fax machine
...
Who am I kidding, I'm sure the same will eventually happen in our world, if we do get sentient AI

In some ways, it is interesting how the AIs and their human friends don't always view them as internet-connected devices but people who need appliances to communicate. I remember that Pintsize had to remind Marten that he is a sentient computer with an internet connection and, thus, Marten didn't need a laptop to prepare his music blog, He could plug Pintsize into a monitor and input devices and they could work on it together.

--- Quote from: BLT with rings on 23 Oct 2017, 00:00 ---I think XYs also need to be given discipline by the time they become sexually active. Frankly, neither whether the immature brat is an XX or an XY is the issue.
--- End quote ---
I'm wondering about what you mean by 'discipline'. I seriously hope you don't mean the type that is legally considered child abuse in my country.

I have to say that it is the use of 'XX' and 'XY' that interests me; ZoeB has had a lot to say on the inadequacy of those (likely shortly to become obsolete) bioscience terms.

When Punchbot said "Fax me the invoice", I half expected Bubbles to go "Screeeeeeeeech Done."
But yeah, there are people who still insist on fax machines. Lawyers, for one. Don't know any accountants except ones who work for the government, and government (at all levels) also still relies heavily on fax machines. Some professions don't like cutting-edge technology. They like the edges on their tech to be as dull as possible.

--- Quote from: BLT with rings on 22 Oct 2017, 21:48 ---Over the last few strips we've seen that Sam has the maturity of a three year old.
She breaks into homes, enters bedrooms, puts on masks and wakes people by screaming in their faces.
--- End quote ---
I'm gonna take a guess here that you don't have kids.
A Twelve year old putting on a mask and trying to scare an authority figure is something one should EXPECT.
Going into a marital bedroom unannounced?... maybe not quite so much - but going into (what she classes as ) a FRIEND'S bedroom?
Absolutely.
--- Quote from: BLT with rings on 22 Oct 2017, 21:48 ---She is invited to a place of business and immediately tries to break business equipment and drive off potential customers.
--- End quote ---
Hmmm...
She "*tries* to break equipment"...? Could you point me to the part where she actively TRIES to break equipment?
Or even where she "(tries...) to [drive] off potential customers?"
--- Quote from: BLT with rings on 22 Oct 2017, 21:48 ---However, eventually that twelve year old is going to get a bit older and start being ...
--- End quote ---
Ahhh...
So you're trolling!?
(Unless, of course, you can give three good reasons why musing on the potential (apparently multiple) rape of a young girl is suddenly the place you naturally go to when faced with cartoon strips?)
Ookay then.

Not sure if all accountants use fax machines nowadays, but I´m sure they keep them on a drawer, just in case...
About the current trend topic: looks like there is a need to discuss seeerious things in the forum. When the strips become plain silly for a while (let's remember QC started quite silly), some people tend to overthink. C'mon, folks, it's just comics! Let's not start a fight over it!

Instead, your switching between condemning the character of Sam and then practically dancing in the street at the prospect of her inevitable upcoming rape. The way you choose to express yourself is... somewhat disturbing.
--- End quote ---
That it is. I made a report to the mods right before my previous post in this thread, and still contemplating emailing Jeph on the matter. To say that such a line of thinking is squick territory is an understatement at a level beyond even the British capacity for understatement.
