Yeah, I do think it's right as is. Emily and Penelope are particularly extreme examples but all of them are a case of that including Ayo (who yeah did beat out a more qualified candidate essentially based on vibes), that we see get hired to some extent . Dale is also a particular extreme example.

... I don't know if this is just a general touch thing, or if we're supposed to read in that Winslow is starting to understand why so many human men are obsessed with female chests.
It’s a call back to #5253
. I don’t think “wired” is the right word here, though. Maybe “designed”.
I wouldn't necessarily put it as a boobs thing. He has spent his entire life with touch-averse Hannelore, so he simply never got to experience that entire area of human interaction.

Oh, bother.
This also isn't his original body. He may not have read the manual for it to see if it is indeed wired for physical affection.
Disgusted, but not surprised

Bideting sounds just nasty enough to have a website dedicated to it.
I will NOT be googling to confirm that, thank you kindly.

This party hasn't even begun yet, and it's already off to a great start.

#5262 Winners Don't Use Drugs Except When They Do
I'm with Liz on this one. My brain has three speeds: too fast, way too fast, and splat. Somehow, I doubt cocaine would help with that problem. Sherlock Holmes is not a great role model when it comes to stimulant use.

Wasn't Sherlock's drug of choice heroin?

Oh, bother.
I don't think so. He was all about the nose candy and the tobacco.
Disgusted, but not surprised
Though he did inject the cocaine, which I can see blurring the line in a reader's mind between heroin and cocaine. You don't typically inject coke, at least based on what I know, while I feel like heroin is mostly considered a needle drug.
Am I a weirdo?
He preferred tobacco when working and cocaine when he wasn't (although there's also some mentions of him using morphine, which would at least make more sense than cocaine considering his stated purpose for taking it).
Anyway, I seem to have derailed things a bit with my Sherlock Holmes aside, so I'll try to get things back on track. Anyone want to argue with Jeph's assertion that Hannelore would be the worst QC character on cocaine? I think Elliot would be pretty bad too. Slightly lower anxiety levels, but a much higher risk of accidentally hurting someone.

Stimulants are really bad for OCD as I recall it. Basically kicks the obsessions and compulsions into overdrive. But I could also visualize an Elliot not being able to control his own strength, and then going into a nearly catatonic state as he desperately tries to avoid moving at all, and all of that is internalized.

Believe it or not, we have a page on the album that's being played. For those wondering, "Metal Machine Music" is an album consisting of over an hour of guitar feedback and screeching noises. I've never listened to it myself (on account of valuing my ears), but feel free to do so yourself if you want to.

The example cites most/all of COD's baristas, especially calling out Penelope and Emily for getting hired when they weren't even looking for a job there. But we could list Ayo too, especially since there was a competing applicant and uncertainty over when Claire would be officially quitting, but Dora hired Ayo anyway after just a bit more talk.
Similarly, Dale expressed interest, then quit his previous job and started at COD the minute there was an opening for him.
