Have you ever spoken to them of end of life or death? Even in the context of seasons/ flowers?

I have had these types of "It played better in my mind" moments.
This is hilarious though

Years ago, I color printed a bunch of $20 bills, but just the left half of the front of the bill, so when you picked it up off the floor and unfolded it, it was 3/4 blank paper.

Reply to LPT: After a good haircut, take a photo of your hair to show to the barber next time you go, it makes life much easier for them and for you. This especially helps if you're going to a new barber for the first time. by bongingnaut
Or if you are younger than 21 just show them this picture.

I was doing maintenance on our domain controllers a few weekends ago and one of our DCs in Sao Paulo was still downloading the updates (basically a two-cans-and-string internet there) and the server warned me I was about to be signed out because of an auto reboot (for the same maintenance).
I'm like "hell no this thing will take another 5 hours to install these fucking updates!"
Opened a command prompt, shutdown -a saved the day.

I take a picture anyway because usually it's been over a year, and I post it among my selfies on social media.

That is a very odd way to decide if somebody is a girl.

This brings up my favorite example of the difference in philosophies between Windows and Mac.
Windows won’t do a goddamn thing without at least 3 steps and asking me if I’m sure I want to do that, except for shutting down or restarting.
Mac will do whatever I want with one step except for shutting down or restarting, where it politely asks if I’m sure.
