ok, now realizing my next biggest gripe with the lack of shut-off valves throughout the house is now i have no way to flush or wash the thing i just took out of the plumbing

The reason they have to keep making Wizard of Oz prequels is if they went *forward* then they'd have to let people know about Ozma, and Hollywood will not, absolutely will *not*, ever allow that to happen

maybe i'm being too picky, but if i see a job using dotnet then i'm assuming a windows dev machine and that's a pass for me
i don't know how people tolerate working in that environment, especially as a web developer: incompatible file system, permissions, line endings, time keeping, file names, etc
