I had the exact same situation during Uri in 2021 following 36 hours of no power and dripping faucets, Houston area. Unfortunately I’d only been dripping cold water faucets due to bad advice and not yet understanding the mechanics of the plumbing system. Once I discovered the freeze I opened the faucet fully and once power was restored I set a space heater pointed to the pipes underneath the sink and eventually it started flowing again. No damage but we have pex which are supposed to be more resilient to freezing incidents. Since then I’ve dripped both sides and always treated that area with care in freezes since as that proved that was the weakest link.

I feel it’s like asking how are these ancient gigantic moving stone contraptions functioning when you encounter them hundreds or thousands of years after they were built in video games or adventure movies. Don't have a cow man.

It’s very difficult to reconcile situations such as mine where all but two in my immediate family are reliable red voters whose candidates want to remove rights from myself and my friends who are mostly some form of queer.

11 years to be precise. Using hilariously dated norms beyond undermines this guy’s message

Not exactly the same premise that you described, but just a first reaction on the title is try Final Fantasy X. It’s certainly got time travel elements as well as amnesia!

Let me just go harass the theater workers to do that.

I’m hoping this will prevent toxic gym membership cancellation practices

It’s an honest shame their corporate dysfunction wastes all this potential.

Thank you. Now I’ll be thinking about the relative importance of this measurement vs per capita measurements in different contexts.
