    I’m surprised she was able to plug anything in with her boobs in the way.

    /s

    I am so glad I don’t have to deal with computers like that in my life. I cannot imagine the troubleshooting steps involved with figuring out which of the 73,698 wires you plugged into the wrong place.

          …which tanks via small omissions in logic and missing semicolons.

    I wonder if this is a similar model to the ones used to catalogue certain prisoners?

      That’s an engineer, not a model.

    She was most likely not an engineer. Do you have any evidence to show that she was?

      Why do you question her, where you probably would not give it a second thought if this was a man, you misogynistic pos.

      I think that anyone wiring like that gets the title of engineer.
