I actually always just umplug it to reboot, even though I do have buttons.
That's what I've been doing, but I'm always worried I'm going to fry something in the DVR.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The cable company folks have had me do it that way, too, so I don't worry about it -- you're just supposed to keep it unplugged for 15 seconds or something before plugging it back in. But if you don't have a power button, what else could you do, anyway?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I don't usually watch the Food Network, but I'm watching now, and some guy with lots of hair is making gnocchi. Shouldn't he be wearing a net or something?
Everytime I see the commercial for the Two Dudes Catering, I think that I would be terrified of finding hair in their food.

Classic TiVos are built to be rebooted by pulling the power cord out of the socket. I suspect the engineers figured that was how most users were going to do it anyway. It also makes it somewhat more resistant to rebooting problems when the power shuts off abruptly.

I left the kleenex in the car and as sad as it is, the though of walking all the way back out there (it's not far) exhausts me, so I'm making do with toilet paper.
I'm going to regret this later.
I actually didn't feel too bad until I tried thinking.

I agree with Theo, sara. If you are too weak to get your kleenex, you are too sick to be at work.

I'm just cranky and toddler whiny, not weak. And, unfortunately, I didn't feel like ass until about half an hour ago. I woke up thinking maybe I'd dodged a bullet. I don't look sick. I don't sound sick. I just feel sick.

OMG, I just had 15 minutes of pure panic thinking I'd deleted a shitload of files that should not be deleted.
...and then I realized they were files I had elsewhere and once I use them, I delete them anyway!
Brane broken. But flying on adrenaline now!
