"Thermal decoupler" is an interesting technical name for what's basically an electrical hot knife.Who knows... My imagination made it a permanent but invisible seam with some sort of heat sensitive adhesive, so the application of the tool opens the pre existing seam. Another question is that of stretch. Do they need to add extra skin to allow for the implants, or like human skin will it adapt by itself?

Question is, how elastic the "dermal cover" is, and how much the difference is.I would expect they ordered in any they need along with the implants; probably standardized colors as well as materials. I would think there would be resellers of after-market or OEM dermal components; after all May found some the proper color eventually.

You had the same idea that I had about it...it's likely that it's a specialized tool and not just a normal tool despite appearances and Bubbles is familiar with it it due to repeated use(probably from battlefield medical use on herself/colleagues).
The real question I had is: if it's really just a hot knife, how has Faye not used it before in some capacity? Or was her sculpture work never in small-scale designing where that'd be used for visual aid?

I don't know. Sometimes I think that Bubbles likes to show off (to Sam if not to Faye) and deliberately jargons stuff up to make what she knows look more impressive.
Of course, sometimes a hammer is just a hammer.
Of course, if your client can't see what you're using, and it sounds like a highly specialised tool, they might feel that your higher fee is justified.

I had to go with "I don't celebrate the holiday" even though that has Bah humbug! overtones :-D

That's why I included the option. Not every country does a Thanksgiving Day. Others have something sort of similar, but it's usually for a different religion (which is the other reason for that option).

Based solely on Millifeulle's face, I'm guessing that she doesn't want one of Sam's fingers as a permanent fixture in her butt, thank you. Additionally, only 85% sure, Faye? Wow! Sometimes I think that Bubbles is too good at ironic humour!
So, is Sam going to change her job title to 'fiddly component manipulator' or are the ladies going to invest in some precision surgical forceps?

In short: No. Canada have one in October which is similar to the US one. A few other countries have a harvest festival in late September/early October, which resembles the US thanksgiving in some ways (aka a harvest festival with religious undertones)

Back when I was in grad school, a new grad student from China asked me how I planned to celebrate Black Friday. I asked him if he meant Thanksgiving, and he asked me what Thanksgiving was. I guess this is the image America gives to the world. :psyduck:
As to why, we can only guess.His name was Norman Rockwell...

I refuse to go out before 5pm on Black Friday, and I don't do any shopping until after 7pm. I refuse to encourage retailers to do that to their employees. Working Black Friday sucked enough when I worked retail a decade ago.Not every country does a Thanksgiving Day.Does *any* other country have one in that form/date?
Small scale harvest festivals maybe.
Halloween has been bleeding through, although mostly for people dressing up spookily, and some minor trick or treating.
Oh, black Friday has become a thing. Lots of deals. "deals". But not "people are going to be trampled".
...I feel like an idiot for not realizing it sooner: Thermal decoupler = old joke name for a blowtorch by plumbers. Bubbles is being funny and trying to lighten the mood, not being specific(even if it's doing exactly as she said).
The thing that's most intriguing is that hot glue is more than just the stuff that you use in crafts, it's now used in woodworking and other major construction so it being used to secure a seam on an AI body would make sense especially if it's one that's only meant to be opened for emergency repairs or surgery...
Now excuse me while I try to fight off this embarrassing blush :cry:

Okay, Bubbles and Faye have done suturing of a sort before. Can they now throw together the necessary materials and skills to let out Millifeulle's pants? Consider it an 'optional extra'!I can't imagine there'd be enough material to let out... another job for Sam - go pants shopping...

Hmmmmh - I had assumed Thanksgiving was a version our "Erntedankfest" ('Thanks for the harvest'. First Sunday in October), but it isn't. Good to know.

What, Union Robotics doesn't have an Emergency Skirt?It's a workshop. Faye probably should be wearing a long sleeved top, and nothing loose. So I guess all they have is emergency work clothes, which may not fit Milly's style.
(Or Emergency Pants?)
New strip up.

The Patreon supporters got the uncensored strips. They're still there as long as you're a Patreon.If he gets a few more paying customers by drawing robot butts, power to him.I totally agree with this, though that's not what's motivating the following question:
So for anyone who does have the Patreon level, are all the previous bonus strips available there, or have they expired off to some hidden archive somewhere?
I don't think that Patreon ever delete old content but their search function is a laughable fiction. You'd have to manually scroll through Jeph's posts to find what you're looking for.There is a tag for "bonus comic", but I don't know if it includes all of them. It doesn't include the most recent one.
A spare tarp or sheet cover with some pins, rope, bungee cord, or other such fastener(s) might do the trick for a skirt.What, Union Robotics doesn't have an Emergency Skirt?It's a workshop.

Something I learned from Patreon: We have a recurring footer text today as Jeph forgot to change it as he was rushing off to his relatives' Thanksgiving celebration!
Linux Users Groups have the right idea though, creating a group whose members can each provide a small amount of blood that, once combined, still satisfies the requirement.
