  1. @malanalysis The sad thing is that they’re •not• getting rid of daylight saving time, just the switch. This idea of year-round DST is foolish for two reasons: 1. It was already done back in 1974 (in the US anyway) and was such a disaster it was repealed within a year. 2. DST only exists when there’s a switch. If you make it year-round, you’re just switching to the next time zone over. EDT becomes AST, PDT becomes MST, &c. This creates some confusion (I’m looking at you British Columbia) when they’ve made PDT permanent and are actually on MST but still insisting on calling it Pacific Time. (Yes, this is already happening.) #Sigh. #Rant over for the moment.

  6. Some wisdom from one who has learned the hard way...

    Turn all of the water shutoff valves off then on again once a month and don't forget the whole house shutoff, washing machine, fridge, etc.

    Shutoff valves should be either all the way off or all the way on, never halfway.

    As you have work done, have your shutoff valves replaced with quarter turn valves.

  32. @[email protected] You're still a genocidal troll. #sigh

    Many good reasons why Brits focus on crimes of Israel, e.g.:
    1/ Britain started it, with 1917 #BalfourDeclaration
    2/ Britain complicit in #Israel's crimes: arms, intelligence, tech, diplomacy
    3/ UK close ties to israel, so Brit media keeps ppl well-informed
    4/ Israeli crimes have continued for decades.

    The jew-haters are the scum like you who think genocide is OK when committed by #Jews.

    I thought I'd blocked you. #Bye!
