--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 11 Sep 2019, 10:21 ---The people conducting it were matter of factly taking out organs, recording their weight, and other objective sciencey things. Then they looked at her feet and noticed her toenails were painted. Suddenly the picture of the goblet changed into a picture of two faces, and they felt like they were slicing open a human who had tried to be pretty even while dying in agony.

I used to work in a morgue, so while I can't speak from a surgery POV, that's exactly how it works. For the longest time, the gruesome things I saw and worked with were just that - things, bereft of agency (although still treated with respect). Management had a strict and plastered-everywhere policy of 'if you need to leave for any reason, leave first, call and explain later'. The new guys, myself among them, never understood that policy until the one case that 'changed the picture' for each of us, and then either had to bug out and find a new job, or take a day and come back with renewed purpose. (For me, it was seeing the same shoes I had just bought for my daughter on the feet of one of the bodies we were cataloguing.)
Dicrostonyx:
I've a question for crafters from the last comic. At the end of 4088, Jacques's parting remark is "wait till they realize the glue gun isn't even plugged in yet". My admittedly limited experience with glue guns was that you plugged them into a docking station to melt the glue but operation was cordless. Is that a different technology or am I just confused? And yes, I realise this is a minor point.
TheEvilDog:
Google provides the answer.
Although common sense would tell you that there would be different types of glue guns for different purposes. Industrial grade might require a continuous power supply that a battery might not be able to provide. A hobbyist might just have something that charges for five minutes.
pwhodges:
A hobbyist like me has a cheap one that plugs in; docking stations cost extra!

It may be that I've always used cheap/old ones, but most hot glue I've used required a plug and provided constant heat to a funnel that you jammed the gluestick into. It then melted the end in the funnel enough to force it through the hole. I've never handled a wireless hot glue gun or even seen one in person.
