- Should we track such late comics? -- Dtgriscom (talk) 11:10, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
- I've always wondered about that. Sometimes they're quite late afternoon on a Tuesday, but this one happened sometime late on Wednesday. They're definitely not automated. Some people can see a warning this one will be late on the website, but I didn't see any such warning. Perhaps he's travelling at the moment? 124.168.12.57 20:22, 20 August 2026 (UTC)
- The website itself also says "Note: Monday's comic will go up on Tuesday this week." at the top of the page. 74.83.153.42 14:50, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
Hmm, to be fair a cyclotron does sound like it'd be a fancy piece of spa equipment. Celene (talk) 04:38, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
- For me a cyclotron sounds more like a sports equipment rather than a spa equipment. Cochonou (talk) 06:32, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
- Scintillation Counter should definitely be a lot higher up. I imagine the queue at that for a Scintillation Technician is always quite long. 82.13.184.33 08:27, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
I added my count of the position on the line that each equipment appears at, based on the tick marks. Please feel free to correct the numbers if I miscounted. --207.181.214.68 07:39, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
Cloud chamber: Shouldn't that be "water or alcohol? --2A00:23CC:D248:8901:54EB:4663:AA76:CFF 07:52, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
The 1968 SciFi movie "Barbarella" comes to mind, but that particular piece of Spa equipment is not mentioned in the list.MindTheGap (talk) 10:18, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
Not me spending a good minute trying to work out what "SPA" stands for 146.66.72.187 13:08, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Can someone clarify what an "offering" is in the context of a spa? --62.181.196.34 14:33, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
- It literally just means 'a thing that is offered' - a service, product, experience, etc. within the portfolio of an organisation. So, for a spa, massages, facial treatments, aromatherapy, saunas, etc., etc. would each be an offering. 82.13.184.33 15:25, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
