1) Work gets new internet backup
2) Need to test it after everyone has left
3) Call the company that does it, tell them to shut off regular internet for test
4) Was calling them on my desk phone. Desk phone needs internet to work.
5) beep beep beep beep
Definitely a facepalm, but this is the DF Discussion board my friend.

I've gotten it wrong at least twice, and I am pretty sure lot's of people make the mistake once.
You would only have to add an "in DF" at the end of the title to make it clear.

I enjoy the non-DF facepalms anyway.

Hidden beneath rusting weapons was a mass of assorted bones. An elf, a goblin, even an ogre. All just waiting for someone to walk by and notice them, like some kind of land mine of horror.

’Tis okay, Duna, I gotchu.
:D
this made me laugh, as much as it made me facepalm when reading about this book, the caravan brought:
"This is a well-crafted wolf parchment scroll. It is decorated with chestnut. The rollers are made from cinnabar. On the item is an image of a anvil in native platinum.
Written on the item is a manual entitled A Course on Isosceles Triangles, authored by Ustuth Godbuilds. It concerns the equality of the base angle of isosceles triangles. The writing overflows with sadness. overall the prose is passable."

It is a mathbook -  The writing overflows with sadness :D

Thus with an axis of symmetry, I die.

There's a boss in FFXIV that asks you math questions as a battle mechanic. They helpfully put a note on the ground before the boss arena listing prime numbers.

Fu** you, mathsbot.

I modded a race in, and discovered giving them the symbol "N" was a bad idea: I almost choked when I started adventure mode surrounded by what I assumed were night creatures.
