That’s one way to keep your cool.

If I have a nickel for everytime someone said “The cloud never goes down”.

I’d have a lot of nickels and would spend my time doing something I like a lot more than working 🤑.

Tried that many times (to no avail).

We are both university grads and know how math works. They just can’t get past the psychological barrier of “the bill will be higher when we check out”.

Can’t get my partner to do this. They are too worried about “saving money/we don’t need it (now)”. For heavens sake, I’m not saying buy a spare house; just pick up an extra tube of toothpaste!

While there may be “No stupid questions”, there are many, many “Stupid answers”.

What this NCO did was not dumb; it was calculated and intentional violations of multiple rules and regulations they (and the others involved) knew very well. Then they tried to cover it up when people started asking questions.

Absolutely no sympathy for them in my book. These are supposed to be the leaders other enlisted look to emulate.

I’ve recommended top management go to the data center, yank out the plugs and say “Let’s see how it goes!” (after verifying plans are up to date and ready to go). No one is the least bit interested in doing anything like that.

I’ll take the non-AI using pharmacist for the win. Thank you very much.

Wait, they put underwear on it?

I’ll see myself out.

You might get a chance in the future if something like this happens again Carrington Event.

I once abused an SMTP relay (my own) by emailing Novell a 400+ MB memory dump. Their FTP site kept timing out.

After all that, and them swearing they had to have it, the OS team said “Nope, we’re not going to look at it”. Guess how I feel about Novell after that?

This was in the mid-90’s.

I’ve had those things before. But there is maintenance and power to factor in; so not entirely free.

Pretty sure FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is for deposits only, not debts. The politicians would never let their donors suffer.

Hugh government bail out (American here). Taxpayer gets stuck with the bill. Companies loose nothing (probably make even more than way).
