You should see what happens to that poor letter 'j'. Not my fault it can be used as a 'y', an 'h', and 'zh'.In my defense, I'd only slept for two hours and couldn't get back to sleep.
Let this be a lesson to everyone, don't get behind a keyboard when you've had no sleep. You're going to have a typo accident.
I've repaired the subject line.Thank you (^-^)
I like how Sam’s idea bulb is an energy-efficient LED one.
Wait... May being around an impressionable 14 year old??? I need an adult!
Still plenty of them, especially in smaller decorative-light sizes, in stores where I am (Ohio, USA), right alongside some LED and even flourescent standard-socket bulbs. Flashlights and other portable lights are nearly all LED.I like how Sam’s idea bulb is an energy-efficient LED one.
At Sam's age, would she have even seen an incandescent fillament lightbulb outside of a museum?
I don't now if she would wear it but, at the very least, Bubbles is likely to hold the Army Service Ribbon and the Purple Heart.
Heh. Cool.
A question: do they have Memorial Day in the QC universe, and would Bubbles attend ceremonies?
Like, I am still mad at Sam. And she isn't real. Faye lives in their universe! That is a superhuman level of tolerance and forgiveness.
Perhaps something of your teenage self in her? Or maybe she reminds you of someone you had a falling out with?Like, I am still mad at Sam. And she isn't real. Faye lives in their universe! That is a superhuman level of tolerance and forgiveness.
There's something about Sam that I just don't like, she just grates on my nerves and I can't pinpoint exactly why.
Heh. Cool.

I was just at the Northampton Veterans Day ceremony in Pulaski Park and I did not see Bubbles there.
:wink:
"How am I the only not doing art here?"
Because you paid thousands of dollars to learn how, so obviously the universe can't allow you to make use of that skill and investment by actually working on your field.

Less pessimistic: it says good things that
1: Faye stepped the fuck up and supervised Sam this time.
2: Bubbles trusts Faye enough that Bubbles could goof off while Sam is using power tools.
3: As an abstract sculpture, Faye sort of has a degree in fabrication, which is exactly what she supervised Sam in doing.

No. 3 in the good things list -- That's it, exactly. Art is where you find it (or put it), even if you don't see it right away. But, yes, Faye, I feel like that sometimes, especially when a friend whom I've caricatured uses some Bitmoji or whatever it is nowadays for their social media profile pic. But then I get a commission and things are OK with the world for a while.
That, or we could yet see a Mayspresso machine...

That said, Faye does have access to a full fabrication shop now, and probably a pile of scrap material, plus a lot of time on her hands (if her griping is to be believed). She could take the time to make something that showcases the shop's skill and capability to put out front as a conversation starter.
I'd be afraid to find out whose orifices would need such destructive testing.
A unique art piece! It will point the way to a future groove!Not sure if this meant to be a pun. But pretty sure he'd be kicked out of that museum.
Yeah, come to think of it, that would be May's dream job, wouldn't it? I seem to remember that the only time we've seen Beepatrice at her 'day job' she was standing next to a dildo that had a little brick of plastique taped to it. She was supposed to closely observe what happens when the explosives were detonated. I'm not sure what product safety legislation the tests are meant to satisfy but they must have been misapplied somehow!
Faye's sculpture is salable. The dinosaur got snapped up by a gallery. It could be revenue.
Meanwhile Beepatrice is wonderful with her bashful nature, isn't she? I think hanging around with May for any length of time will be destruction-testing her blush-emulators though!I thought Beeps model chassis had the whole face as a screen, so the chassis redraws the entire face every so often. If so then her "blush emulators" are just a color layer in her whole face-screen drawn in wherever needed... Breaking that would take more doing than Beeps is likely to comprehend (she strikes me as rather sheltered, regardless of her money-earning job).

The test specification just said "Firewall tests" so they're testing various scenarios involving the words "fire" and "wall" in some way
The test specification just said "Firewall tests" so they're testing various scenarios involving the words "fire" and "wall" in some wayI am unable to imagine the need for any combination of dildo and "fire + wall" testing that makes any sense. The only thing I can come close to would be an internet enabled dildo that would keep track of running time and export it to a web site for your later annotation and review. But the very thought of that kind of privacy breach is about to give me hives...

New strip up!
Awww, sweet Faye/Bubbles moment.

And back to the usual...

Jeph's Butts Disease seems to be resisting treatment.
Technically, you're correct. But this is the butts DISEASE. Because the disease spreads upon contact with a carrier, the avian form is a risk to the psychological well-being of the public. No reports of avian-to-human infection have been confirmed as of today, but an advisory has been issued, and parental guidance is recommended. After all, no cure for the butts disease is known. Early symptoms include an unexplainable fascination with callipygian art. If you suspect that you have been exposed to the butt disease, you are advised to eat nothing butt rump roast and to turn the other cheek.

Good ol' Teledildonics.I thought that whole field had died. Oh well, woob!
Second thought: Miss Skullbleeper must be an excellent teacher to have been given a chance with that self-chosen name.
Bubbles: "Indeed"Col. O'Neal: "Great. Now there's two of them."
I am so imagining a conversation between Bubbles and Teal'c... :-D

Maybe the AI Rights folks argued it'd be decrimination if she was NOT hired, name or not? ;)

When you consider the personalties and nature of the synthetics who have names that sound like start-up death metal bands, then you realise that, yes, every synthetic in this strip somehow has a cute (even if ironically cute) name. I mean, look at Swordsmary! She tries to be edgy and punk but she comes across as a nervous undergradute who really doesn't want to cause a scene!
Calling it here: Sam's English teacher is the most vanilla, conventional and unspectacular person you could possibly meet. She sees no reason why her name should be considered 'ironic' or 'inappropriate'.
Maybe someone can help me by directing me to something about 'Millfeeul'? I tried a Google search and all iI got was my local community theatre, the name of which it is a plausible misspelling!

Sam might be enrolled in a non traditional school so it’s not as big of an issue.It’s been previously established that Sam attends Pioneer Valley Performing Arts school (http://www.pvpa.org), which is very much a non-traditional school.
Second thought: Miss Skullbleeper must be an excellent teacher to have been given a chance with that self-chosen name.
Not necessarily. There are two ways a teacher having a weird name can go.
1 - They command no respect and end up ruthlessly mocked by the kids, becoming ineffectual at their job.
2 - The instant they walk into class, they strike the fear of god into the kids.
In the case of 2, you don't even need to shout, just look them in the eye and make them blink first.

Semi-related, I'm wondering if Punchbot will ever get that legal robot fighting ring off the ground. If he does, they'll have no shortage of customers.
Bubbles: "Indeed"

So if Miss Skullbleeper is a self-censor, I have to wonder...
What is Beepatrice censoring about her name?
We have to accept the possibility that her real name is Fuckatrice.
(It might explain her resulting career path a bit more...)
For media presence why not ask for the assistance of MIKE?Semi-related, I'm wondering if Punchbot will ever get that legal robot fighting ring off the ground. If he does, they'll have no shortage of customers.They could sell the whole deal - either get repaired, or get an upgrade, all for the low price of $499.99!
Was that Arthur or Punchbot that Yay (spookybot) talked to in their wrap up to the Corpsewitch adventure?

Comic's up!I'm thinking it should be Beep-atrice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockatrice). Sort of self-censored. And would go nice with a Basilisk (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DontExplainTheJoke).
Beepatrice seems nice, if a little easily flustered.
I wonder if it's pronounced Bee-patrice or Beep-atrice?
(O.K., I've been up waaaaayyyy too long...)

There have already been, in our own universe, issues with privacy on internet connected sex toys. In 2016 it was shown that one connected vibrator sent customers' settings and usage information to the manufacturer's server without consent (the company eventually had to pay a settlement for that), and that third parties could access that information - and even take over the devices remotely. In 2017 another connected vibrator with a built-in camera was found to be hackable to give unauthorised people access to the video feed. In the same year it was discovered that one model of butt plug could be found and remotely controlled via Bluetooth.The test specification just said "Firewall tests" so they're testing various scenarios involving the words "fire" and "wall" in some wayI am unable to imagine the need for any combination of dildo and "fire + wall" testing that makes any sense.

But is a beep a bleep?
(Which inexplicably takes me back to those longago Saturday mornings when Josie and the Pussycats were IN SPACE, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VBDzGLG2Fc) and had an alien (pet/companion/was never really clear) named "Bleep." All the little (bleep)er ever said was "bleep."
Such language! And me with such an impressionable young mind.

That was usually reserved for Macs back in the day.My experience is usually M$ doing weird things or just plain torpedoing things like the RT9450 Microsoft Keyboards which I STILL get requests for after all these years because people still use them and love them.

Isn't a pilot basically a glorified driver?
So you're saying it is a good metaphor for the typical computer user, then.I have heard that USAF ground crew definition of "pilot" is "person who pushes buttons at random until something of significance happens."But sometimes it really is a problem with the driver software for the keyboard.Isn't a pilot basically a glorified driver?
