Wait, I thought they were working on. Melon, not May?
Kinetic recalibration.
Didn't the main site for the comic have a link to a message board? I thought it did, but I can't find it.
The link is at the very bottom of the page, as "QC Forums". But also supplied here: https://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php
The more I read the last few comics, the more I feel like Bubbles is being the Worf to Faye's Jadzia.
I think I may have to back off for a few days. Then I can come back and it will be resolved or mostly settled. Faye and Bubbs shouldn't fight. Ever. I have spoken.
where is Faye's scar?
Right in the middle of her psyche.
However much Dora is paying Hannelore, it isn't enough. They need to set up a rotation of on-duty staff members at the Coffee of Doom for counselling emergencies so it doesn't just fall on the lap of the poor sap who just happens to be serving at the moment; there's no reason for their operational code system to be limited to the one situation it's been shown to be invoked…
Percussive Maintenance is not meant to be used on humans
😂 what about those of us who thoroughly enjoy a good spanking as a gift or reward? 🤣😹
It's OK to make mistakes, whether you're Faye or Jeph. ;-)
Calling it now. The part isn't warped. It's because melon wasn't in standby and her face wasn't in a completely neutral state.
We hope, but the aftermath of the fight still must be dealt with regardless of its origins.
You know being stressed out can make you get words and names mixed up, like accidentally saying May when you mean Melon, right?
That was Melon, not May?
it's stressful situations like this that makes me nervous Faye will relapse and drink again. I know its QC world, but still praying that does not happen. Substance relapses are too painful
it's fine to make mistakes, but she's acting like it's not a big deal when it clearly is to Bubs.
Even if it is a big deal to Bubbles, her response is not appropriate. Bubbles did not focus on the issue at hand and the how or why, she immediately jumped to attack Faye. Think of how different this would of gone if Bubbles has responded with "Are there any other spots you think we should look at?"
Melon
Only Human
Yeah, even if Faye was initially in the wrong here, Bubbles' response was way out of line. I hope this doesn't trigger Faye to relapse.
It looks like Faye was poised for a relapse (it happens to the best of 'em) but no one spotted it. Bubbs, probably the most emotionally mature of the main cast, will realize this and respond appropriately. She knows about Faye's emotional baggage. Her affection for Faye is genuine and she'll go above and beyond to support her as she (Faye) works through it.
Oh yeah, we might be leading up to make-up fucking! :)
It’s the best thing about making up.
See that's so Faye, internalizing the conflict and deciding it must be totally her fault. But she only has half the story, she isn't responsible for another person's reactions to her or situations. This is very hard to learn, and then you can go the other way and just blame everyone for everything too. Also how Australian "I dunno, fucken' " is that, or maybe Canadians say it a lot too haha.
lol @ Faye's "I dunno, fuckin'..." as that is frequently an interjection I too use preceding a story I'm frustrated about
(Yelling Bird of old would interpret that interjection a very different way)
“OUR own frickin’ shop.”
You may have hit on one of the main points of tension right now, and maybe the biggest brewing problem. Does Faye think of it as her shop?
Percussive Maintenance is not suggested on welfare computers, it's an extremely fine line between useful reseting and permanent blue screening.
Faye’s mistake was more along the lines of during initial examination thinking a knee issue was just a meniscus tear and during surgery noticing that the back of the patella was damaged from bone on bone wear and fixing that as well (yes this happened to me). The issue was caught and fixed (even had what to look for in the future pointed out). Not dealing with it would have been an issue, but since it was caught not really a big deal.
It's why you really need multiple perspectives or a really anal retentive surgeon, quick med judgements have scary consequences
I thought they were working on Melon.
I wonder if AI repairs are covered under HIPAA...
Yes, protected by HIPAA as amended by the Keeping Accountability With Artificial Intelligence Information act of 2003.
melon not may, right Jeph? those are two names to easily confuse, completely understandable
Ummm they were working on Melon not May?!?
I'm still not used to Hanners cleaning without wearing a HazMat suit.
She's still wearing one, but it's invisible.
I hope Hanners can help Faye and Bubbles out :(
I can't tell if Faye is crashing so quickly because she had a workplace argument or because of general self loathing
A bit from column A, a bit from column B.
Operation Brute Force Melon
She and Bubs need to have a talk. Bubs apologizing for being so testy, Faye for missing the obvious mistake.
I feel Faye's fuck up is how blase she was about the mistake. Mistakes happen, how we react and work to correct them is what matters.
lol calm down people, Jeph can also make mistakes and he'll correct the typo. ~<3
We're here to "help" ;-)

Wait was it may or melon?
Good catch,I missed that it’s the wrong AI.
Did Faye mistake May with Melon?
Pretty sure _Jeph_ made that mistake. :-D
Realization setting in right on schedule. She knows what she did was out of line.
Feeling guilt or self-loathing after an argument doesn't mean the argument was entirely your fault.
*Melon
Oop, minor error in panel 2 - "May" should be "Melon".
She's flashing back
