To be fair to Roko, soft pretzels are the best thing at the mall

(I also want to know what year it is in-world. I miss functional indoor malls. At least the town @Canageek lives in has a good one.)

I like the idea of a personal growth spurt. Suddenly you're walking a little taller (and probably standing up straighter too).

Time for a round of "tell me something interesting." Don't be a Pintsize.

Sometimes a bird or insect can be male on one side of their body and female on the other. It's called gynandromorphism (woman-man-shape-ness).

This is a good one. I love how Marten and Faye bounce off each other.

Iris' chassis is the color of sour grapes
Wonder if that was deliberate
(though iris flowers are often blue or purple)

It works "most of the time." What prevents it from working?

Also note "deely-bobber," which Jeph uses approximately like I do; here it's the blob on Moray's forehead, which would be hair on a human; and I use it most often for the long dangly crest feather on a quail.

Clinton is right; this is what the Singularity is about
Claire is right that he shouldn't go giving Moray ideas
I have questions for Clinton about the semantics of "life form"

@WizardOfDocs I would definitely enjoy reading tha

also, there should definitely be a way to share patreon membership once you're married without having to make a joint account

@WizardOfDocs It is entirely possible that despite the Trump, she really enjoys being drawn into things like this
@Canageek it's always possible
It just doesn't fit my model of how to tell when people are having fun
Iris refuses to give us that information, and that's part of why I don't like her.
@WizardOfDocs That's why I said not necessarily when you said we'd get along with her parents

@WizardOfDocs I think this is a reference to a specific famous academic, but I forget who

#QuestionableContentReadalong

@Canageek maybe that'll be someone's fun fact
Have you got one handy?
@WizardOfDocs There is a known molecule with not one but TWO DIFFERENT noble gases in it (Xe and Kr), and I had a class with the person who it's named after.
@Canageek that's wild. Are they also the person who created it?
@WizardOfDocs Almost certainly not, it would have been one of their grad students, but I've not looked up the paper
@WizardOfDocs Some of the fiber optic cables going into the NASDAQ stock exchange loop around many times, so that major brokerage servers on various blocks of the Manhattan financial district are the same number of light-nanoseconds away from the master trading computer. They started doing it because some of them were getting a very real, practical cheesy advantage.
@Nentuaby clever. I vaguely remember a Tom Scott video about this.
