The coffee itself need not contain butts, there could simply be a butt drawn on the cup.
Butt for the love of God?

I'd like to mention that, in panel 1, Bubbles' feet - pointed slightly inward, one toe trying to creep over the other - speak more to me of her emotional state than any other part of her physiology

The way she is holding her hands in panel three is typical for her workmate. Emily is of japanese origin (as far as I remember) and often does this when she is making an offer or a request. A classic posture of politeness in Japan.
Rooibos is nice.
Roiboos is nice. But it is mostly aromated with fruit or spices here in Germany. To me pure Roiboos lacks the distinctive slight bitterness of "real" tea, which I enjoy very much. A fine black tea with a drop of milk and a few crumbs of sugar. Or a very good Earl Grey. Yummy.You must be a good person: Your taste in tea almost completely matches my own :) as I find most form of fruits in tea to be an abomination. Some citrus (lemon) can be quite nice though. I really need to check out the brand of Earl Grey you recommend.
My favourite tea in the world: Classic Earl Grey by Fortnum & Mason of London. A fine Earl Grey with a hint of smoky Lapsang Sujong. :-)

Nicely observed, but the defensive position of her hands conveys that message more obviously to me.
Today's strip just helps to solidify my adoration of Hannelore. Are there any character fan sub-forum?

Hmm. I'm not sure if Bubbles is my spirit animal (despite being mechanical), or if I am Bubbles.
Seriously, she has literally done everything I'd do if I was in the same situation, exactly the way I would've done it.
Hanners, be careful, there's a fine line when steeping tea, between tasty and stewed. Stew the tea and it tastes vile.I guess back in the days that I drunk tea, I always steeped my tea a long time I think, as I usually like my drinks strong. Then afterwards when I take the bag out with a spoon I wrap the cord around the spoon to squeeze the last drops out of the bag, otherwise it would seem to be wasteful.
Are drugs specifically for A.I. a thing?
... Is... is it just malware that goes away? Is it a virus that slowly builds a tolerance until the day the A.I. takes way too much and has to reboot? Am I just really drunk and have to ask dumb questions?

Long story short, do not make tea like you make coffee! The flavours need to be worked in different manners! Respect that!

Meatloaf is a one hit wonder in spirit, even if numerically, that is incorrect.
As a child born in 1992, I know only two of these songs, ... .
Well, that was what I was referencing anyway, so I'm not sure if rule 34.5 applies..."I will do anything for butts -- but I won't do that"Butt for the love of God?

Uhmmmmmh, not to sleaze up the WCDT -> But Rule 34.5 ("Every double entendre you think you came up with ... was made into a one-hit-wonder in the 90s (or into an Opera by Meatloaf)") applies to that thought ...
(Just google within quotes - first link. Safesearch mandatory!)
I'm just sayin'!
It's an interesting factoid, right?
Dont judge me! :oops:
Hopefully Biubbles and May meet soon.

If that's the main criteria, then by my standard, Beethoven and Brahms and Buddy Holly and all those other bums didn't do diddley.
Difference is, you really have to be a 90s fan to know any of those songs (with the possible exception of Anything for Love) whereas everyone knows Beethoven's 5th and 9th symphonies, Für Elise, and Moonlight Sonata (even if not by name)

Became obscure after he died, but not a one-hit wonder by any means.
The original art for strip 3147, panel 3 needs to be made available as a double-wide high res. wallpaper.
Holy shit. Okay, Meatloaf is a music god, then. He's up there with fucking Beethoven and shit, damn. I will not make comments pointing out how I've never heard his music in a legitimate context other than ridicule.
For some of you, his golden vocals put you in fucking unicorn grove, and I will not belittle him.
Became obscure after he died, but not a one-hit wonder by any means.
What the fuck, Tova. I said this. You called it meaningless. He is a one-hit wonder in spirit, meaning that his oeuvre would seem to have lost relevance over the years.* I can name every song on the local classic rock station in a few seconds, but none of it's Meatloaf. Maybe it's a shitty station, I don't know.
*DO NOT FUCKING ATTACK ME. I AM USING SUBJECTIVE LANGUAGE BECAUSE THIS IS A SUBJECTIVE SUBJECT.
"Has lost relevance" does not even remotely mean the same thing as "one-hit wonder," just to make my position absolutely clear. That isn't subjective.
You don't have to like 'em. Just yell at me YEAH WELL I THINK THEY ARE SHIT, SO THERE. I can accept that. That is subjective.
If the local classic rock station can play Red Hot Chili Peppers as classic, Meatloaf counts too. His lyrics are no better or worse than any other artist/band.Most of the good songs sung by Meat Loaf is written by Jim Steinman (including I believe, all of the ones mentioned below) who has produced a few other hits as well, like Total Eclipse of the Heart & Holding Out for a Hero (Bonnie Tyler)Sometimesoften they are better.
I have heard of all those songs, and I am only two years older. Most of my peers are similar. He sells out shows still, or did up until 5 or 6 years ago. Might depend on location though.
In the interest of full disclosure, I love Meatloaf.

I have a feeling that if they did, Unicorn Grove would turn into hit flash game Robot Unicorn Attack. Or maybe Techno Kitten Adventures.
Coming soon to a QC strip near you:"Man, fuck Meat Loaf. Meat Loaf SUCKS. Lemme go back to sleep." (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1739)
"Claire? What's your favorite Meat Loaf song?"
(also more known, at least by me, as the inspiration for Weird Al Yankovic's first radio parody, "My Bologna")There are a lot of songs I only know through the Weird Al version.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeellllll ... I could say that googling that phrase of yours shows that "I will do anything for butts -- but I won't do that" was what Meatloaf meant anyhow (along with a lot of other authors of 90s-hits), but truth be told:Well, that was what I was referencing anyway, so I'm not sure if rule 34.5 applies......

And I was born in 1985, so I guess I'm old enough to know that Meatloaf has plenty of hits. Dang kids.

New comic...
The difference between Pintsize and Bubbles: Emily doesn't dare hit Bubbles without asking first.
EmilyEmily just doesn't think Bubbles is soft, which was the case with Pintsize. Or maybe she learned her lesson after discovering that she had broken her hand. Either way, at least she asked. I guess the next thing someone should do is tell Bubbles that it isn't just her what makes Emily react this way - it's just how Emily is.doesn't darebelieves it would be impolite to hit Bubbles without asking first.
People do seem to have a tendency to intrude into the personal-space of AIs.
Why does CoD have a rubber mallet? .
Faye's splotchy stained top is annoying me. I know whatever she wears is bound to get dirty in her work but looking at it makes me feel unclean.Faye has embraced her inner junk-yard dog.
She is a computer science student. I can tell that we have very little care about general computing components, both ours and of other people, at least from my experience (both myself and close friends). Emily might not have dissociated those from the AIs.
I don't know how I'd handle myself when meeting an AI honestly, although I guess that physical assault would be completely out of the question.
I think this board may have covered this already, but do we know how most people (who don't have several AI friends) think of AIs and their chassis? Would people think Bubbles is scary because she is a killing machine, insecure/strange because she's wearing a killing machine in a civilian context (like people who proudly/defiantly open carry rifles everywhere it's not prohibited), or something else entirely? Does her Geth Prime-like body even read as combat, or heavy lifting?
So Emily can just casually catch roughly 4+ feet of air, convert all forward momentum and strength into a rubber mallet hit, get bounced straight back from said hit into the floor (there's about 6ft of clearance between her butt and the floor at this point, and there's the speed going backwards too) and she's just ok? Emily is superhuman I tell you.

We're in a universe with a space station and self-aware AIs in robots... and CoD has old-style fluorescent tube ceiling fixtures? With that characteristic old fluorescent buzz, no doubt. Hardly the atmosphere for a coffee house.
Um, well, unless you have a very good filter on that power supply (unlikely for most wall warts) or use a SMPS (unlikely for cheap wall warts) the LEDs are still going to flicker.We're in a universe with a space station and self-aware AIs in robots... and CoD has old-style fluorescent tube ceiling fixtures? With that characteristic old fluorescent buzz, no doubt. Hardly the atmosphere for a coffee house.
It's dreadfully simple to make tubes that fit those fixtures but have a row of LEDs in them instead. You just replace the ballast with a step-down transformer you strip out of a wall-wart case.
Saves you money on your electric bills, cuts that annoying buzz and gets rid of the even-more-annoying 120Hz flicker (100Hz if you're European ) at the same time.

First thought after watching this: What the heck is Captain America's shield made of that it can stand up to a direct blow from Thor's hammer??
Second thought: What the heck is Captain America made of?? Even if his shield was forged from the same material as Mjolnir, Thor's blow should have broken every bone in Cap's arm, at the very least. :-o
Cap's shield, like Thor's hammer, is a Plot Device.
Bubbles armor is now Vibranium
Nah, Tony would buy for a suit of armor.
Nah, Tony would buy for a suit of armor.But there's plenty of vibranium in Wakanda; all Tony has to do is head on over and not be a colossal bas…
I posted a long post about Cap's shield and Vibranium earlier today... That apparently didn't get posted. Anyway, the idea behind Vibranium is that it converts kinetic force to sound. Hence the massive shockwave when Thor brings the hammer down. It's also the schtick behind the super villain Klaw, who we saw in Age of Ultron as just plain Ulysses Klaw. Basically he replaces his cut off arm with a vibranium sonic dish, allowing him to weaponize sonic blasts. Cap's shield is the largest piece of pure vibranium and as such is nearly indestructable. You would think he'd be the only one who could use it without rupturing his eardrums when fighting people like Thor and Hulk... but you know. Comic Logic.
