Maybe remove that last sentence, in case someone else does too and wants it more than you do.

He's 26 years old, and this was his first mission.12·6 days agoUnfortunately, this is very true. I’ve been out longer than I was in, and I remember the losses not the wins.
Edit: the one ‘win’ I remember, we got a letter from a lady 2 years after the event. She wrote to us to thank us for getting daughter to the trauma center alive…so that the doctors could harvest her organs, and mom was able to hear her daughter’s heart beating in someone else’s chest a year later.
No, you can’t have a group of zero, so the counter doesn’t need to waste a position counting zero.

If you want to know more, knowyourmeme has a reasonably objective article.
My understanding is the drama from resulted in him leaving before BL3 was written

He should have asked “if BL3 is exclusive, will you buy it on that platform?” With the options
- Yes, if it’s steam
- Yes, if it’s Epic
- No
- STFU Randy, your breath smells like farts

I didn’t and still don’t care who got the writer’s WiiU, I just cared that the story was fun.

I hope he’s doing ok now.

Myself and another guy went to a tech junket that was by invite only and they gave away a laptop to one person from each company who attended. My boss tried to take the laptop from the other guy saying “that was a gift and you need to turn it over to me”
I’d already cleared it with our corporate conflict of interest ombudsman - if I’d accepted it, it would have been an issue because I had purchasing authority, but other guy was “just” a tech who couldn’t sign off on anything or even make recommendations to anyone other than me, we didn’t have an existing business relationship with the vendor, and we’re not obligated to conduct any business with them as a result of the gift.
I told my boss to take it up with head-of-department (whom I’d copied in on the ombudsman comms.)
Other guy kept the laptop, and boss got ‘audited’ for gifts received (they pulled his emails) and was demoted into a position he wasn’t able to handle (more technical than he was capable of, but on paper should have been able to do) and pushed out of the company soon thereafter.

There’s not a single thing wrong with my p620, which presently works very well as my transcoding device in my Plex system, and I anticipate it lasting another 5+ years at this point.

These ones are sneaky.

Wow, there’s a reference I didn’t think I’d come across. Did you ever try using it? I was curious but never did…didn’t have a use case for it.
