"The account from which the attack is launched must be a member of the local admin group"

Umm, so let me get this straight, so a local admin can fuck up a system?

I'm shocked.

Just another example of why we don't let users be member of the admin group.

It's surprising an experienced deep sea explorer would go along on something like this.

When I first read about it, it took me less than 5 minutes to discover many, many reasons it was a bad idea.

Wow, I hadn't thought it through like that, but yea, you're right.

One or the other. Pick.

Hahahaha, I love it

That's why you practice this stuff. It's the only way to make sure you won't slip under pressure.

It's what I had to do - just make it a natural response. "I'm not well, I won't be in". Just keep repeating it, regardless of how many times you're asked why.

Every large company I've worked for (since the mid 90's) never swept this stuff under the rug - quite the opposite, actually. I've seen people with all sorts of issues being accommodated.

Practically every team I've been on had at least one person with some kind of issue. We all knew, and adjusted. Once in a while you get an asshole teammate or manager...those quickly get a reputation and people avoid working with them.

Companies are painfully aware of risk.

Shit, I'd be calling a lawyer just to put a scare into that boss. Fucking douchebag.

"I'm not well today, I can't work, that's all you fucking need to know".

I've never had a boss even ask why. Frankly, he should know better...what he doesn't know he can't be liable for. Dumbass. Plus who has the time to worry about why? Does it change anything? No.

What's EUC?

Very interesting, but I don't see how replacing the same volume of air in our lungs with helium doesn't make you lighter. It's the same volume, so the volume displacement zeroes out in any equation - I think that poster may mean as compared to empty lungs. Even then I think they're mistaken - otherwise a blimp/balloon wouldn't work, as it too is displacing air around itself, and increasing in volume.

I think your closing statement contradicts your earlier statement about weighing less (though I get the point you're trying to make about mass).

Do we consider weight a sum of all interactions in a given place (including atmosphere)? I'd say we do, since our atmosphere accounts for a notable portion of our weight, and I've never seen a scale with a negative tare to account for atmospheric weight.
