Some are born to manners, some learn manners, others have manners thrust upon them.
Meantime, “unleash the hounds of war!” Go get them FIBbies! No quarter asked nor given!

No more Wacos! If the FIBbies have a warrant, if they want to speak to anyone at the DD, come and knock on the front door during normal daytime hours. No more sneak attacks in the quiet of the night while prepping for bed.

BTW, is it “to the manner born”? Or is it “to the manor born”?
And actually my understanding of the term as coined by Shakespeare’s Hamlet was “manner”, meaning a particular set of responsibilities, behaviors, or traditions to follow…much later and now much more prevalent applied as “manor”, born to aristocracy, wealth, or privilege.
But I particularly like Chris’ addition of the “s” to create an entirely new meaning of being bred, taught, or in this case created to be proper, formal, or like Jeeves here, obsequious.
I’ll take my ‘borgs efficient, *can the “manners”.
*as in tin-can, you pretentious wannabe elitist.
Plenty of that glad-handing back-stabbing PC BS in meatspace.

If I’m reading this correctly, R200 is more closely integrated to DDNet’s sensor array than Jeeves who is local? Given the latency inherent in networks, that’s a design flaw.

Yes. And with entirely different meaning.
And from our host’s coinage, we can infer a third.
Dude does slip some shit in.

The original saying was “manor” but the times have added the other meaning, and word, so that either is correct.
JTC
I do enjoy words, meanings, and usages.

Why does Jeeves remind me of a certain golden ‘droid?
Henry
Um, shouldn’t that be “molto bella?”

Wait… What?
Jeeves is showing signs of The Seven Deadly Sins (Envy) through naughty language?

Instead of noblesse oblige, we’ve got robot oblige?

Sending the robodogs to investigate may be the most humane way to deal with the intruders.

Prob is, it would take two dogs to EFFECTIVELY insert the probe. One to pin him down, the other to do the nasty.
With a hominid form, and hands, it’s just a matter of hydraulics.
