The one thing that I just can't get out of my head is this: Does this mean that Pintsize really has a thing for throwing toast at people's heads? I mean, I've heard of weirder things to be into but this definitely fits into the 'bizarre' category for me!
I am utterly embarrassed to admit that it took me a good two minutes looking at the poll and thinking "Why doesn't it say 'Bubbles Introduction' ?", before I realised that, "which date in QC history", didn't mean, "Which Particular Day in History"...
:oops:
The exclamation mark was a bit of a giveaway.

Roko has only succumbed to a toast fetish whilst intoxicated (http://jephjacques.com/post/153991088855/roko-unwinds). Basically, for her, it's one of those things that only are arousing when she's flying high. When her brain is working normally, not so much.What's Roko doing with toes?

After reading this comic, I have questions. Such as, why would a robot have bread in her apartment, much less a toaster? It’s not like she needs to eat.
Also, what’s in Robot Beer that can make a robot drunk?
At least it's not vore (if you don't know what that is, don't look it up).The one thing that I just can't get out of my head is this: Does this mean that Pintsize really has a thing for throwing toast at people's heads?

Yeah, so much for the notion that Roko was actually dating the toaster and Pintsize was simply there as the toaster's assistant!
Imagining Steve's inner dialog: "My first impulse is to call upon my government operative training and dismember this entity, at least to a point where I can be certain it is rendered harmless. However, it is making no attempts at deception, and indeed is quite forthcoming with information. Further, it is clearly fond of cereal. We share, therefore, a community of interest and are natural allies."
After all the talk about a Steve Cereal strip for so long I have to say... This surpassed all the expectations.

Whoops, sorry. I should explain that my post wasn't a response to yours at all, but I just realised that it looked that way.
The exclamation point I was talking about was "Sven and Hannelore!"
And by giveaway, I meant that it made it obvious which would be the forum favourite (as if it wasn't obvious already).

And why am I overanalyzing what was obviously a silly gag? Stop that, Zebediah!
Why does my phone want to autocorrect “Zebediah” to “Zebras”?
NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE.
Or it could be “Good, she can’t get past the fold and tab, my cereal is safe. I won’t have to launch her ass into orbit.”
It has lots of other surprises as well, like a second basement below the first one housing an invisible car.

Which Steve can't find because he left it on 'invisible' mode when coming home drunk one night and Cossette has lost the remote.
But my mind is still stuck on her tee-shirt. "Ass Golf." I'm just thinking, Ass Golf does not sound like a good idea. But this is Melon we're talking about. What counts as a good idea from her perspective is not the same as from mine. She's probably trying to organize a league. And I'm absolutely sure that Pintsize would join.
You know, yes, she's eating the box.It's a bit like polo except you ride the back of a donkey and try to drive the ball as far as you can.
And yes, Steve has to find out where the other end of that tunnel is.
And yeah, it's weird that she's not wearing pants.
And it's true, robots don't actually need to eat.

I can't believe that I didn't recognize Roko and needed today's comic to point it out!
Has Winslow ever shown any sign of sexuality?
Shipping an asexual?
For your information, Claire was MUCH more supportive than you!

You know, having "Pintsize" and "respectable" in the same sentence really feels odd. It's not just that it needs a negation, it's more like an equator and poles not touching kind of thing.Yet if you shift the magnetic poles ninety degrees from the axial poles you would have the equators touching the poles - the results are .... interesting ...

My google-fu is weak today. Everything I can find involves the axial poles rotated, not the magnetic pole. What happens if the magnetic poles are rotated?
Quote from: PintsizeShe never told me she was a cop!
Isn't occupation one of the first things people exchange information about on dates? What does it say that she didn't? She had time to mention knitting after all.
Let's not forget Hannelore's reaction, when Roko first came to Coffee of Doom, and she learned who she was.
Considering as Earth's magnetic field is caused by the dynamo effect of the conductive core spinning with the planet's rotation in the charged field of solar particles, it's a little difficult to imagine the magnetic poles moving very far from the axial poles.
Very concise outlines of geological and planetary dynamics in general.Considering as Earth's magnetic field is caused by the dynamo effect of the conductive core spinning with the planet's rotation in the charged field of solar particles, it's a little difficult to imagine the magnetic poles moving very far from the axial poles.If you want to see what it might look like, take a look at Uranus and Neptune. Both of them not only have widely offset angles (59 degrees for Uranus, 47 for Neptune), they don't even meet in the center of the planet - Uranus's poles meet about a third of the way from the center to the edge, and Neptune's over half.

Can Winslow get a first date with robot copper Roko?

Another pun thread is the last thing I knead.
See drink-driving is bad. Drink driving an invisible car should probably be a war-crime.
Where have Fayes lips gone? Jeph has drawn her lipless from time to time, but never before so consequently than the last two strips. Change of style? Plastic surgery? :roll:

Is anyone ever going to explain to Pintsize that someone meeting you in a restaurant to decide if they want to have kinky sex is not consent to kinky sex then and there in the restaurant? This is important life information.

In the vein of this week's poll, I made an account just for this...

I am intrigued and amused to see another trait that AIs (or this one, at least) have in common with organics:It could also be a simulation of 'foreign accent syndrome'.
Under stress, their "native" accent becomes stronger.
That aside, it is interesting that, as with Momo, we here have a synthetic with an actual sex drive, of sorts. Yes, she wants companionship but she wants this to include physical intimacy of some kind. Okay, so she is into the misuse of bread products in a big way but, given that robot sex is done by data packet transfer, any physical element to it is going to take on the form of a kink of one sort or another! That's the point here, of course. I don't think O'Malley has the need for an intimate inter-personal relationship (I imagine that's not uncommon amongst Synthetics) whilst Roko does indeed want both a companion and a lover in one package.
I find it interesting that some AIs (Momo, perhaps Bubbles) are romantically or sexually attracted to humans, while others (Roko, the two robots at the old Fight Club, perhaps Pintsize) are attracted to other AIs. (Pintsize is difficult to classify - cf. his groping of Faye, way back when - and I have no idea where to put May.)
I definitely wanna know now what constitutes a fine Islay peat whisky to an AI.

I think what you meant to say was "What would be the digital equivalent of dirty dishwater?"

Personally, I think that Pintsize is hetrosexual and hetroromantic. He just finds it amusing to taunt other people about their sexual hang-ups and play the letch.
As for May? It wouldn't surprise me if she is asexual but has a recreational interest in others sexuality, viewing it as somewhat bizarre and humorous.

May have expressed a lot of interest in human sexuality, human female bodies and human/AI sexual activities. The one time I remember she had anything to do with AI/AI sex or romance what the facesitting event with Pintsize, which left both of them bored and felt pointless to them. She seems more interested in what others do... Keeping Dale and Marigold together, asking for pictures of Faye and Bubbles and a seeming abiding interest in human porn magazines. She has also expressed an interest in 'jacking off a dude' but is frustrated because of the joints of her robot hand not having a fleshy covering. All of this further complicated by the fact that she would on the whole rather be a fighter jet...
Roko’s origins may very well be in the Boston area, given the existence of the MIT Robotics Lab and Boston Dynamics (which itself has its origins in the MIT Robotics Lab.) And like so many professionals with strong regional accents, she trained herself out of her native accent and into something more neutral.
So now I’m hearing her with Eliza Dushku’s voice.
