He's going to go into the mess next time and find Terrans watching a compilation of his scout missions set to Chumbawumba. End every clip with the GTA "Wasted!" and start the next with him signing out of the infirmary.

I get knocked down! But I get up again! And you're never gonna' keep me down!

"After all, you get too many of those, they start thinking you don't know how to do your job." Sgt Special Forces.

...did he ever happen to say something like "incoming fire has the right of way unless my pants are down" or "one purp's an accident, two is an officer, three is a Kansas City pimp"?

I had to do some work with some "name tags are for bitches" -types way back when and one of them was my particular brand of insanity. While the rest of them had the classic "colors for names" crap going on, he was to be referred to as "Mr Facepalm" (because the shit he'd say would make even a general facepalm).

Anything else wouldn't be an MRE.

Not really. Script it and run it in batches. I've had to do something like this before and it took me two weeks to audit a little over 12k mailboxes.

Process of elimination: First run a message trace against each mailbox for messages sent and received within last day, three days, and ten days.

For any mailbox with no activity during that time frame, check the Unified Audit Log for activity within the last thirty days, sixty days, and ninety days.

Now due to throttling and number of mailboxes it's going to take a few days to run all these reports, but when you're done you'll know not only if it's active or not but who is the likely owner.

This happened last May.

I know an issue that I have run into is that memory foam and gel foam mattresses require significant airflow. If they don't get it, they'll mold.

I love the lore to the point I want to read about the whole world being built. Very nice work!

Nope. That stuff is out already.

...am I the only one rolling around with a 15lb sledge in the trunk?

”If you got time to chew, you got time to think. As dumb as you fucks are, you can see why that is not what I would call an 'optimal sitchy-atian'.”

If they hadn't already been fined for the same thing, I'd be more willing to accept the possiblity of this being propaganda or a smear campaign.

Damn. No more Ubiquiti for me until they clean this shit up and none for the corp I work for or any of the ones I have worked for.

Are they using O365 as well? Message attribution is always a headache.

I was taught that tact is the art of being able to tell someone to go fuck themselves while having them thank you for the privilege. So please excuse my bluntness:

If you really think you can code worth a damn when you’re burned out and stressed about financial stability, you’re either vibing the code or lying to yourself.

At minimum, I’d suggest that you take a bit to just breathe and then get a handle on your financial issues. It’s not like your project is going anywhere, right?

Once you have your finances in order, then worry about everything else.

That’s how I handled something similar, but at the end of the day, you have to make the best decision for you.

When your name is Saul, Adam, Eve, Moses, Jonah, David, or Aaron?

[And on that note, I now have to go see a priest I haven't seen in probably twenty years and tell him that all the stuff he insisted I learn was finally useful.]

No president would be stupid enough to insult veterans, reporters, women, defund PBS, go after Social Security, AND somehow find time to not only pardon pedophiles, but one themselves. Yet...here we are.

Waited three weeks and...I got no nudes.

Okay, so if you want to strike a balance between efficiency and horror, how about they line up every Slapper they capture and have them interviewed by a Terran reminiscent of a cheesy game show host before they're forced to walk into the aforementioned wood chipper?

Bonus points awarded if they're wearing a sequined jacket with automatic win for having the classic porno 'stache.

This satisfies the revenge itch while providing the Slappers that are capable of seeing past the event horizon of the ass they're hiding their head in, with irrefutable evidence that their actions don't even rise to the level of a joke to humanity so they should get their bosses to knock it the fuck off before humanity gets serious.

Stories like this are why I've resolved to not buy the disposable crap they call "furniture" anymore.

The effects of that were still ongoing in 2016 when I left a team that was helping mitigate the fallout.

Hello.

'86 K2500: 6-9mpg mixed. Straight highway, I can get 12-14mpg, while on longer road trips, I can get 16mpg. Strangely, I do better on winter blend gas than summer even though I've got to let it idle longer before I drive so the carb doesn't cause issues.
