That episode traumatized my poor girls. "No, we won't send you to a factory reset centre. No, Amelia, you aren't going to be bad because you're a Eukrante. No, Bubbles, it's okay to keep your Martini glass." Poor Nia needed a Pony marathon before she'd stop whimpering. "This program contains scenes...

We don't know what type of memory Shinkis use. To get the sort of speed and power required to create such vibrant, complex personalities, they likely store data in some form of volatile memory.

That's kinda small black hole levels of power... tis a good thing they didnt short out huh? (700 Ah * 3600 c) /350 C = the power of seven thousand twohundred big ass lightening str...

s: Ah, if it's aesthetic, that changes the game. ;) I thought it was just replacement screws you were after. I lose more of those when painting Transformers... And yeah, maybe the pitch isn't quite right on those...McM-C has a pretty limited selection of screws for plastic. I wasn't sure if you were...

Chief: Custom machining seems awfully drastic for something that's probably bought by the kg from a screw supplier. :idea: Has anybody looked to see if Mcmaster-Carr or your friendly neighborhood screw supplier have anything that will work?

Which sort-of almost happened... So, Ia is teamed up with Miss Cthu...
