Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for April 30, 2019

Is this intended to be new? Or, just a modification of the situation covered by Isaac Asimov in his short story of the same basic subject of robots to build robots and other needed things? “Insert Knob A into Hole B”

Arf’s bug? Wrong leg raises when he goes to pee.

RTFM: Read The Appropriate Manual. (No, not a typo.)

I always read the manual. However, I have found some to be very confusing and more than one actually wrong.

It keeps him busy.

Ignorance, it’s a man thing.

Readme file? We don’t need no stinkin’ readme file!

Arf is sentient? In comics even door knobs and Rita are considered that.

I was going to say, just to be funny, it’s a man thing, but I never read a manual.

I was a geek before the term was invented, in fact, even before “nerd,” and I always read manuals. Then I look at the device and figure out where the manual is wrong.

That’s not being a geek, that’s being a man.

Douglas Adams’ electronic monk comes to mind -

Now constructing something right without the manual is good for your intelligence. But if you can’t then use the manual.

Ah … the circle of life.

Pretty sure my head exploded on this one, though.
