Being busy is, realistically, the same thing as being uninterested. Someone who is interested will make time, one way or another.

Remember that we're talking about Emily here. She doesn't exactly do things by the book. In fact, the first thing she ever did with the book was likely to test which acids dissolve it most quickly.

Using it while charging it with the Ultra Quick Charger Module™.

I will refer you to Big Clive and his YouTube channel where he tests common as well as weird products of the electrical variety, purchased online from far east suppliers.
Overheating, releasing vital smoke and energetic self disassembly is only part of the list.
IIRC there was a Dalek flashlight with a USB phone charge port that was LIVE while the unit was connected to the mains to charge the flashlight.
This was made even more fun for those who purchased the shiny metallic coloured models.
220VAC for the Brits and only 120VAC for the Yanks.
(click to show/hide)I sit here corrected.
There are several videos and a number of these things out there.
Seems that these manufacturers copy anything no matter how lethal. YIKES! :psyduck:

--- Quote from: cybersmurf on 14 Mar 2020, 13:34 ---Something that helped humanity survive as a species is box thinking. It provides shortcuts for stress thinking, and quick decision-making. The boost in speed goes at the expense of accuracy. Those boxes can be very wrong, or applied the wrong way. I've been catching myself every so often, and I'm pretty sure everyone does it to a degree.
Point is, those boxes quite often apply to social circles, too.
I don't know how AIs work in the QCverse, but in being man-made, that box thinking may apply to them, too, perhaps even worse compared to humans.

One of the other features of "Box Thinking" that is easily observed in the younger spawn and among certain outlier types, is obliviousness to inconsequential details.
Unless imprinted early into their psyche or pointed out to them as being pertinent, they tend to ignore things like gender, skin colour, fashion sense, etc.

Well it would hardly be a proper Dalek if it didn't try to exterminate any nearby humans.

I Love Plamp!
Is it cold in here?:
A couple of generations ago "busy" was widely understood code for "no". Has that changed?
Emily does strike me as the sort who would never have gotten a copy of the codebook.
