Beaker No/Beaker Yes, Friday, March 22, 2024
What extremely useful and not at all horribly boring information did your instructor (and Beaker) plan on sharing with you this week, students? Only one way to find out!
“Today we shall be talking about home repair,” Sam said.
"Meep meep meep," Beaker said, looking guilty. He didn't remember breaking anything at Sam's house, but the odds were good.
“As responsible citizens,” Sam continued, wondering if he needed to call his housesitter to check on things, “it is important you be able to take care of your places of residence.” No, Sam did not understand that homeownership was out of reach for many of you. If he did know he’d just tell you to eat less avocado toast.
"Meep meep meep meep," Beaker said. "Meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep." Others might not need to check their smoke detectors quite as frequently, though.
“Yes, smoke detectors are very important. Especially for some people.” Yes, that glare was solely for Beaker.
"Meep meep meep!" Don't make him demonstrate how well the ones in here work again, Sam.
Sam had spent all semester trying to keep fire suppression systems from going off, Beaker. He wasn’t afraid of you!
“Smoke detectors are important but hopefully not ever needed unless you live with Beaker. Other things are equally important!”
"Meep meep," Beaker said with a shrug. "Meep meep meep meep?" Maybe you also needed non-leaking water? That was a fire-adjacent concern!
“Yes! Plumbing! Of course you should hire a professional for major repairs but you ought to be able to perform minor ones yourself! Perhaps a small leak simply needs something tightened! Perhaps a gasket could be replaced! Perhaps you need to unclog a drain!”
This was going to lead to water falling on Sam, somehow. Or perhaps he'd be attacked by a rogue plunger.
Why not both? "Meep meep meep!" Beaker said, handing out tool belts from somewhere as the Danger Shop morphed around them into a Sims-style apartment complete with smoking stove. "Meep!"
Fix it, everyone! Of course you're not actually qualified! When has that ever stopped a homeowner?

Talk to Beaker and Sam!
Re: Talk to Beaker and Sam!
Of course Sam was also buried under a small mountain of plungers that had come crashing down on top of him so his 'why's were very muffled.
