Oh wow. I knew Millie was tall, but I didn't realize she was nearly Bubbles tall. I wonder if she could wield a stun gun like those a similarly named and tall lady in the manga and anime Trigun?
She's 5'11".

BenRG:
So, what we can learn from today's trip:
* Emmett has some pretty faulty risk assessment skills (in other words, they're a teenager);
* If Sam isn't in love with them, then they're pretty close;
* The AIs look worried enough that I think it's possible that they will decide that they need to protect Emmett going forwards
oddtail:
OK, so maybe it's different in other parts of the world, but Emmett would not be the "cool kid" in any social circle I was part of when I was a teen, or even a kid. Granted, I was always supremely uncool, so my judgment of what is cool might be skewed. But I feel strongly they'd be the kid that other kids sometimes sort of follow to see them get into trouble, for their own cruel amusement. These are *not* the same kids as the ones on top of the social ladder. Quite the opposite. If anything, the "cool kid" is the one that'd most successfully egg them on (not that Emmett seems to need any of that).
Also... I dunno, Emmett being extremely timid and also willing to do extreme stuff like this completely strains credulity for me. I don't think I ever met a person who had a reckless streak like this and wasn't also talkative (even if awkward) and had no sense of what is socially appropriate, to the point of saying everything that is on their mind immediately. Emmett seems to have a rather overdeveloped sense of caution for social situation, and a non-existent one for everything else. If people like this exist (as I'm sure they do), I don't think I've ever met any.
Is it cold in here?:
No First Law of Robotics, no parental instincts presumably, but they are decent people.
Mr_Rose:
Emmett’s problem seems like they end up in all these scrapes semi-intentionally and with no recording devices beyond scars and police reports. What they really need is a GoPro on a chest rig. Also to narrate their life as/before it happens. An accomplice with another camera helps. That’s the Jackass formula; they’re still cool, right?
