lol, reminds me of the time I forgot I was on localhost, and needed to run a huge statistics processing task. I remembered to carefully use bg and disown so the program would keep running even after I disconnected. Then I sighed in relief and powered off my machine.

I was halfway into a multi hour render on my 486 when I accidentally switched it off. Luckily, I caught myself before I released the power button, so I jammed an eraser under my finger and taped it down so the button wouldn’t spring back and complete the toggle.
