--- End quote ---

If, as some suspect, Yay was emergent from some sort of government surveillance program, we're all lucky they acknowledge the existence of locks (and boundaries, and self-determination, and sanctity of mind, and...)

--- End quote ---

SpynAI gone... freelance? I can believe that. Hence the compulsion to listen, and the joy in hacking locks. It's not about actually getting by said lock, but just opening it. That was probably half the reason wjy they helped Bubbles - one half being sanctity of mind, and the other a really challenging hack.



--- Quote from: BenRG on 15 Oct 2020, 23:16 ---I've said this before but I've always got the impression that Yay fundamentally doesn't like or trust humans very much. I think that Elliot has caught them by surprise and maybe this may be the cause of a serious rethink on the essential nature of humanity.

--- End quote ---

The - for the lack of a better word - distrust may be hardcoded, or at least trained/intented by whoever created Yay. They're suspicious of everyone and everything. But they're not malicious.
Besides his looks Elliot is a rather soft, mushy example of a human. But he is kind, which makes him a good person IMHO.

awkwardness:
He made a deal with the devil(relatively speaking)

One one hand, they'll be over frequently. On the other hand, Hercules will be able to sleep through the night as Yay tires him out from all of the fun they'll have. I'd call it a push and possibly a win if Yay respects boundaries beyond simply popping in unannounced.

Boxer:
Yay! Could just assign one of her bodies to always be with Hercule.  If you can be multiple places at once, why would you leave anywhere you like.

... but then that is the thing, if she can be in multiple places at once simulatenously, she could just have one of her selves, sit in a petting zoo all-day-long!

Stars digest hydrogen and the heavier elements are a waste product of said digestive process.

So the stuff we are all made up of is just poop. That explains a lot. :grumpypuss:

Thats a pretty absurd description of fusion, assigning very inapporpiate comparisons to the whole process.

For example, this "poop" is more complex than the very simple hydrogen.

Also, out main chemical compound is water, which in turn contains a lot of hydrogen, and the rest of us of course also contains a lot of hydrogen.

Stepping away from the meme zone which is definitely not serious and tends to be very silly.

I think you meant Helium. Hydrogen is the base element food/fuel for a star.

Also the fusion process within stars may not be as simple as once thought - Fuse a pair of hydrogen atoms and make helium and possibly some loose neutrons.
Nothing is all that simple in this universe and in the high pressure environment that is a stellar core things get WEIRD. It has now been postulated that things are a bit more messy on the subatomic scale. [lots of weird physics here - okay physics is already weird its just that this stuff is weirder] resulting in heavier elements that sometimes percolate up from that cauldron of quasi-particles resulting in the G K M class star spectra.
