"What the frak is wrong with you!"
I'd do it with just the exclamation point since the question is rhetorical and not meant to be answered. It's more like an interjection. That is, you say it with excitement (or emotion) rather than as a query.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. I just discovered a fresh scar above my waist. It stung in the shower, like I'd recently been cut there. I have no idea how I got it.
My theory: an alien implant.
Have you had any "lost time" recently?

“Not dead yet!”
It's more like an interjection.
Annnnnd I just went into Schoolhouse Rock Land.

Is this in the WIP, Gud?
Indeed.
Generally, I think using both punctuation marks is frowned upon. But that's just me.
That's the impression I get.
I tend to prefer adding emphasis to a word within the sentence with italics:
Hmmm... That seems like it would work in most cases. I already do that in a lot of places, but for some reason I didn't think of it for exclaimed questions.

That's certainly true in that case. Sort of a bad example since the question is rhetorical. Maybe I should have gone with "Is it the blue wire or the red wire!"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Temperatures near absolute zero have been achieved with the techniques of laser cooling and magnetic evaporative cooling. In laser cooling, fast-moving atoms are jostled with photons until they slow down to 1/10,000th of a degree Kelvin.
You know, I come here to get AWAY from my job for a few minutes. Sheesh.

I don't remember.

Hm. I guess I would go with Barb's tag suggestion. Put the question mark in the quotation and the exclamation in the tag.
(Also, it's the red wire. Duh.)
