Photo of a sledgehammer laying on a pile of tied power cords with a label on hammer that reads: HARDER RESET

Reminds me of:
A three-panel meme with the text: "TOOL EXPECTATIONS," "PLEASE COME LOOSE," "I HOPE IT COMES LOOSE," "I WASN'T ASKING," "YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED," and "CAN'T BE TIGHT IF IT'S A LIQUID." The images depict wrenches, a socket wrench, and a torch.

Hey look buddy, I'm in IT. That means I solve problems. Not problems like “what is beauty,” because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
I solve practical problems. For instance, how'm I gonna stop some big crashing server from tearing my organization an economically-disadvantageous new downtime?
The answer: use a hard reset, and if that don't work, use a *harder* reset.
