Winslow, in his previous chassis, seems to me to have always been under Pintsize's metaphorical thumb. I think that's not true anymore, but we haven't seen a lot of interaction between them since the re-embodying.

A dremel for smoothing a ball joint?  Maybe it's just me, but using a dremel for that would be more complicated than using a disk sander.

In the hands of a skilled person, even a concrete saw csn be used for smoothing out a ball joint.

I think that this is the arc when Faye realises that one of the most stressful jobs in existence is trainer. There is absolutely no upper limit to the stupidity and lack of common sense of novices. This is especially the case when, as I am sure is the case with Sam, they feel that they are being unfairly restricted to 'training wheels' when they know they have the intrinsic skill and ability to use the most complicated tools and technology on their first attempt!

A dremel for smoothing a ball joint?  Maybe it's just me, but using a dremel for that would be more complicated than using a disk sander.

Faye hasn't selected the best tool for the job. She's selected what she believes is the safest tool that she can start Sam on with the objective of one day qualifying to the concrete saw.

There is also a subtle psychological test here. If Sam can stick with working with the dremel without getting bored and wandering off, then she's got the mindset to move on to bigger things. However, if she does fail at this level, then there is no point humouring her desire to work power tools any further.

It's fine. She'll learn pretty quick once that thing skips off the work piece, and that even small tools hurt like hell when they hit you at 1k rpm.

Once she moves up to the angle grinder, it'll be a lesson of why you don't wear loose clothing around those. Feels kinda like a trained boxer just wound up and punched you in the gut.

when they know they have the intrinsic skill and ability to use the most complicated tools and technology on their first attempt!

While this does happen, more prevalent in my experience is the notion of "I don't want to learn how to use EVERYTHING, just X tool/instrument/software/etc."

I am guilty of this at times, a lot of my weirder mods and projects make use of esoteric tools, and I sometimes skip the starter tools/equipment in favor of skipping to the one I need for the job at hand.  That said, I usually end up wishing I had taken the time to master the tool first.  (Fortunately, the kind of work I do this for actually benefits from a little rough handling)  Right now, I'm having a hard time fighting this urge when I want to pick up a laser cutter or CNC router, because they're expensive as hell, and if I can start with the tool I need, I can save thousands on the ones to train for the one I need.

Well Dremels do come in a cordless version - I have one - no guts but great for light duty and or impossible to reach places.

At least she is wearing the face sheild and with the dremel grinder bit she will at worst get some nasty abrasions but no loss of digits.

Faye wants to make a point about the right tool.  "Not working very well, is it?  Okay, now try using this."  She may also be more interested in teaching Sam the characteristics of the metal she's working rather than the tool she's working it with.

New Comic Up!
Oh dear!

Faye committed what is perhaps cardinal sin #1 for people in her position: She left her total novice trainee unattended with a power tool, forgetting the strangely auto-hypnotic effect of spinning machinery on the human mind. Grown adults, fully cognizant of the danger, have lost fingers because they can't resist the urge to insert a finger into whirling parts so why should Sam be any different?

Fortunately, the damage doesn't seem that bad. However, I still can't see how this could come out well for either Faye or Sam. Certainly, Faye is going to lose her 'appropriate adult' categorisation in Jim's mind and Sam may be forbidden from seeing her again. Sam may find herself a lot more strongly supervised in the future: No more hanging out at machinery shops, wandering off into the woods to look for beasties or taking days off school whenever she feels like it for 'independent learning opportunities'.

Not really. Like I said, ripping her nail out is far from being the worse that could happen, so Sam should let it be a lesson for the future.

OK, so Faye probably (and by "probably" I mean "definitely") should not have left a newbie with a power tool.... but touch your finger to a powered-on, working power tool of any kind? That's some next level lack of imagination and/or stupidity, even for a kid.

Especially literally less than a few seconds after a "can I trust you with this?" question. Granted, it's been a while since I spent much time around kids, but that sounds like something a six-year-old would do, not an otherwise bright (?) teenager.

Some kids get dumber as they get older. Sam is one of those because she's getting more confident while staying just as curious. Caution is learned by doing stupid things and getting punished for them. Especially dumb teenagers result from a short lifetime of stupidity without consequence.

I have worked for over seven years with teenagers older than Sam and I can assure you that people much 'maturer' than her have made decisions this poor and worse no matter how much warning is given.

...I mean, I guess? I just expected her to be smarter than this, for some reason. That's a tool designed to destroy materials much tougher than squishy human flesh. That needs to command respect. My father told me repeatedly, over and over, how dangerous power tools are since I was a very small kid (granted, I was NOT left unsupervised with those) and that's stuck so deep in my subsconscious that it seems more obvious than breathing, even though I never had even a minor accident involving any of those tools. And even though I don't really use power tools (I don't have a job or any hobbies that require those).

Different life experience, I guess, or I was simply a singularly boring and overly cautious kid/teenager. Come to think of it, I didn't use to get hurt all that much when I was a kid, while my older brother used to always fall off something, cut something, break a limb or whatever. And he wasn't dumb or anything. He just... did a lot of stuff that invited accidents.

Sam gets frigging sword fighting classes. You might expect her to be aware of the dangers of ... tools, not even powered ones.

But still, technically, she has all her fingers. Nobody said anything about missing fingernails. And think about the crap her classmates will give her for losing a fingernail to a power tool. Yes, kids are that cruel.

Sam gets frigging sword fighting classes. You might expect her to be aware of the dangers of ... tools, not even powered ones.

It's surprising just how much the key phrase 'what would happen if...?' can dull and even block what ought to be obvious associational common sense! Sam is pretty wild anyway; the first thing her tutor at sword-fighting class likely had to do was teach her to respect her weapon and understand that 'dangerous' is something that can affect her personally.

"Other Wonders Not Mentioned Here!":
Upon Winslow's return, he sets up an on-site Robot Counselling Service...

...And regarding today's strip:
Knowing Sam as we do - did anyone else see an incident like this as being totally freaking inevitable?!  :roll:
Pretty much. I mean, Sam's not dumb but overconfident and she hasn't felt the consequences of her actions yet. So, maybe that's a start? And Faye should stop indulging her - Sam's not an apprentice, she's not insured and Faye can be held responsible for stuff that goes on in her shop. Sam's still a child in many ways and should be treated as such.

Just because Sam is smart, doesn't mean she's wise.

She's easily distracted and not particularly attentive, which combined with a power tool was always going to spell trouble.

Then again, I went to school with a guy who stabbed himself in the eye with a compass because he forgot it was in his hand. So the lesson here is, teens are idiots and if left to their own devices, will likely accidentally remove themselves from the genepool.
