    My late friend Jens said much the same about the weapons designers who worked on the classic Enterprise. In one episode -- Balance of Terror, I think -- they fire the main armament three times. Every time they fire, the phaser banks overload and burn out, and they need to resort to desperate measures to get them to work again. Jens stated that any company that tried to sell military hardware that bad should itself be made the target of properly functioning main ship guns.

    Grunt, snap snarl etc.  Button push.
    In space combat between two ships, there is only 1 (one) dimension to deal with.  "Any two points determine a line"  With 3, of course you have two dimension, it's not until you get to 4 or more ships that you get to 3 dimensions.  Space is not the ocean and star ships don't get to act like aircraft and/or submarines.  If the sensors on a space craft only work in the plain that the that the craft is in vs 360x360 or at least 360x180, they are freaking useless.

    I remember the comic was here when I started reading it. I got caught up in three days. Yeah, I read fast. And also have no life. I actually found the comic when I noticed that it was listed as an example for most, if not all, of the Gender Bender tropes on TV Tropes.

    Not mechanical.  Optical.
    A large metal and glass lantern with lots of crystals and other reflective surfaces that almost completely "hide" the projector lenses could convince almost every mundane that it is a hologram contained therein.

    He only started to say it was awesome, he corrected himself pretty quickly based on what the fire guys did.  I much prefer his other, full Awesome, which was strictly for being able to summon his little friend, keeping her a secret.
    Hmm, now I have an image of Dex in some sort of costume, probably a wizard, with his fairy friend inside a glass sphere or birdcage or somesuch, telling everyone who asks how the trick is done that it's a trade secret.  If you made it either so she was only seen from one angle, or could get her to hold still or limit herself to in-character mechanical-like movements, it could be both awesome and plausible!

    For me, if it's not important enough for them to leave me a message, then it must not be important enough for me to call them back.

    I keep meaning to figure out how to install a TARDIS vworp-vworp noise on mine.  In everyday life, it's fun to see who recognizes it.  For sci-fi cons or Mensa gatherings, when at least half the phones are in TARDIS cases, I'll change it to the sound effect for jaunting, to make it more of a challenge to find recognition.  ;-)
    In many ways, a text can be more convenient to receive, too.  It's a lot faster to read a text or two than to call yourvoicemail box and sit through (possibly more than one) entire messages, possibly needing to replay them if there's information you need to write down, if you can find a pen or get your phone to play the message so you can hear and use the notetaking function at the same time.....
    I don't have a smart phone yet, mine's more average, but I have learned to appreciate texting.

    You could do so many things with this system. Some of them awesome, some of them ridiculously awesome, some of them just ridiculous. One of my friends invented a superleap power with so large a noncombat multiplier that he could jump from Denmark to Iceland in just one jump. The big problem with that power was that the math just didn't work. He moved at such speed that he easily broke escape velocity which means he wouldn't actually arrive in Iceland but just go on into space, lost forever.

    Does it count that I have a special text tone just for texts FROM my millennial son?  (It's CL4P-TP from Borderlands saying "Sooo lonely...." because I'm a smartass dad that way)

    That, in itself, is part of the problem, I think.  Why is it a "pinup poll" instead of a "Sketch poll" with pinup options?  I really hope Dan knows some of us would really rather just have regular sketchbooks, instead of all these pinups which, frankly, some of them seem like they'd be better *without* the fanservice element.  Maybe the pinups would win the voting anyway, but I do wish we could have a chance to find out.

    OK, so an idea I just had might still be considered pinup material, it could also be possible sketchbook material along the lines of of the "EGS Soccer team" set.
    Since Dan's current patreon funding allows for 2 doubles, would it be possible to get a suggestion of "Sarah and Ashley playing volleyball" as well as "f!Tedd and Heidi playing volleyball" to get 1st and 2nd in the poll with the hopes that Dan would draw them in such a way that you could put the images side by side and have the net in the middle?

    "I did not have sexual relations with that pink haired woman."
    Completely true.  But if Elliot should say it, the typical high school rumor mill will take that denial as an admission.  Then all the other stories that are more implausible, like the shapeshifting superheroine, will be dismissed as a desperate attempt to cover up what Elliot and Ashley were really doing in the mall.

    Dear Big Fashion,
    Regarding your advertisement in the January 18, 2017 EGS NP comic.
    Please stop.
    Outerwear without the ability to carry something other that itself and the person wearing it is a waste of fabric.

    Wait. Idea for maximal hijinx: Rhoda will cast something on her JUST when Pandora will be marking her, which somehow connect both Kitty AND Pandora to that disguise enchantment ...
    PS: Apparently, they are not as fast as cheetah, because if they would Kitty wouldn't be able to keep pace. Of course, they DID the mistake of looking back: as Rincewind said: don't look back. Nothing you see should be able to make you faster anyway.

    My sister is doing well, she's a lot happier than she was when she was in denial about her actual gender and trying to live as something she's not.
    And I really wish more people had accepting parents.
