Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Hm, that's fairly close to sort of the arts district. There are performing halls down there, the Alley theater, and a movie theater. I would guess the exact neighborhood is probably not the most hopping part of downtown at night, but I'm not sure I've ever actually been that far downtown.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

SERIOUSLY?????

Thank you for your feedback regarding the EO catalog and our recent cover.

The woman featured on the cover, Birgit (last name redacted), is a six year employee at (redacted) and our Trade Show Manager and Spokesperson. Over the years we have had numerous positive comments about Birgit and she has proven herself to possess the needed technical and social ability to showcase our products.

The photo of Birgit was certainly not meant to disgust, but rather emphasize an exciting new product launch by (redacted). Birgit is coordinating the tradeshow which will showcase these products. This line of Kinematic Optical Mounts, Table Platforms, and Mechanical Accessories are technically situated to become the standard for optical positioning equipment in the marketplace. The quality, features, and price of these products will be very difficult to compete with and, as always, we intend to keep a supply of these on the shelf for immediate delivery to support our OEM customers, National Laboratories, and Educational institutions. Needless to say, if anyone is not considering these Kinematic Optical Mounts for their positioning equipment needs, they are paying too much, dealing with difficult features, or settling for a substandard product.

We value the opinions of our customers and we evaluate the feedback in developing our future strategies. I appreciate the time you have taken to mention your concern. I hope you will take the opportunity to meet Birgit at our next tradeshow. Birgit will be presenting several technical demonstrations at the upcoming Photonics West show this month so you will have the chance to meet her in person. I think you will be impressed with her ability to support and represent woman in engineering as well as other tasks she has undertaken at (redacted).

Oh, I think that's my favorite part. "Let me interrupt your outrage for a commercial!"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'd appreciate it a lot more if she wasn't letting her chi-chi's hang out.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

OK, so at the next Society conference, all the PIs should wear speedos or board shorts to show off their grasp of galactic kinematics?

(And now I think I need to scrub my brain. For hours and hours and hours)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Allyson, please write back and ask a) what she'll be wearing for her presentation, and b) how much she charges for lap dances.

Is that who you had before, ita?

Yep. They're a lot less efficient with COBRA.
