Mille, don't give the old femur to Sam. See if UR will give you a materials credit for it. Kind of like some shops will give you credit for an old car or tractor battery when you buy a new one.

That's usually the case either because you can refurbish the old part (usually why things like alternators have a refundable core charge) or the materials themselves can be recycled and reused (why things like batteries have a core charge). There's not currently a supply chain for industrial-recycling carbon fiber, but then, there's not sapient robots walking around IRL, either, so who knows what's the case in QC-land.
Edit to add that you definitely wouldn't be reusing a "refurbished" carbon fiber strut; Once a crack exists in carbon fiber, it is very difficult to stop it from propogating, and faith in the integrity of the repaired piece would be very low.

I was presented with the claim that the same behavior from different people will always result in the same reaction, and I disagree.

Ah, but that's not the claim you were presented with, now, is it? That's a strawman. Tut tut.
The claim was:
--- Quote from: MrSmith on 14 Dec 2020, 20:01 ---[...] any friendships she has is due to this being a comic and not real life.
--- End quote ---
In other words, that Faye would not have friends if she were a real person. And by the way, I don't know how I missed this post originally, because I agree 100% with Dandi Andi's reaction to it.
I guess my reasons for disagreeing are markedly different from yours.
The reason Faye has friends in the comic, and would have friends in real life, is that (just as we saw with May), she has a lot of positive qualities which her friends have seen and embraced.
What is true, I guess, is that in real life, there are some people who just can't see past the surface.
That's their loss.

Not that I'm aware of? Perhaps my question should've been more along the lines of: "Why should Faye's looks be able to get her out of trouble?" That sort of thing has always puzzled me, that people can get away with stuff just because they're considered attractive. That might have something to do with the fact that I don't really see people as 'beautiful' or 'ugly'. They look how they look, and I don't seem to quantify them that way. I do consider my husband attractive, but that has more to do with the fact that I'm in a relationship with him.
