I've gotten used to "Windows Key + i" every time I want to do a shutdown.

There exists a widespread culture of beer lovers (and brewers) who are not alcoholic. I consider myself to be among them. I enjoy a quality-crafted beer with a meal and I find the process of brewing to be an interesting and rewarding hobby. This is far from being useless or wasted time.
