Yeah, it's a new feature for people (like me) who navigate from user control panel/bookmarks and thus rarely see announcements in forums.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS said it will resolve in five days or so, after everyone has seen it.

I honestly don't think five days is long enough for the message to reach the denser parts of D&D/C-SPAM.

I've literally been on a flight where that happened, though for us it was while we were on our way home anyway. Or at least, they thought they might have left a tool in the plane; by the time we landed they had found it in the shop.

This one was found still in the well :v:

I think I was on a different sortie that day because I remembering hearing some of it go down on SATCOM between the AC and Raymond and having laughs at their expense.

Almost seems like an unintentional critique about the overbearing eye of state security and their surveillance methods. I ate a probe once for an awkwardly worded compare-and-contrast between US' superpower suicide trajectory and France's Yellow Vest movement in regards to populaces upholding their end of the social contract. It's not like CSPAM is generating Nobel laureates, but it's also weird to think I could have eaten a perma for engaging in good faith current event discussion.

Didn’t Martello get hosed by the green weenie for one of his posts here?

Because of a haircut memo to his company, right?

Also didn’t Martello later become a cop and end up facing charges from an incredibly bad shooting?

Yes to both. His posts on SA showed up in his leaderships hands, and later when he was a civilian cop he killed a guy in an epically bad use of lethal force. Like textbook bad.

I’ve got the local newspaper that’s been covering his story bookmarked, but sharing that ties his real name to his SA name and I’m not trying to doxx anyone. Suffice to say, life hasn’t been going great for Martello. Going worse for the guy he killed, but still.

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.

I remember a sortie being recalled shortly after takeoff because a maintainer left a tool in the gear well.

Up here in Wainwright (the Canadian one :canada:) we've had one confirmed plague case in the township, base is more or less closed, and we ain't allowed more than 50km away without CO approval (lots of fun here). Alberta is expected to peak Covid cases next month.

Surprisingly no, though I’m sure it’s coming soon. We’re quarantining dudes in the same barracks that hd two suicides last year though, so that’s pretty neat. I’m sure we’ll have another third floor jumper any day now.

I am once again the only person on this base wearing a mask at work or practicing social distancing. I caught a group of six soldiers standing closely together trading a vape pen around.

I just shook my head, called them loving idiots, and walked away. It’s just a big joke around here. They’re enforcing masks at the PX and gyms, but in work spaces? Lol no one gives a gently caress.

Two more months and I go in terminal, here’s hoping I don’t get stop lossed or anything crazy :pray:
