Reply to comment by Hill_Reps_For_Jesus in TIL that Fahrenheit 451, a book about a distopian future where books are banned and burned, was banned and burned by the apartheid regime in South Africa with other tens of thousands. by open_closet
Well, based on the downvotes they hate us, but they'll have to pry my West Wing references from my cold, dead hands! #bros

A young Jed Bartlett was once slapped in the face by his father for pointing out the irony of burning this book in protest.

Reply to LPT: Pick at least 1 day a year to check/replace/remove dying batteries, not just in smoke alarms. Weather radios, older remotes, anywhere they may leak and ruin devices. And recycle, don't toss the old ones. Time change dates are easiest to remember, or set 1 or 2 annual reminders. by Njtotx3
FYI, you'll need to pick different trigger dates - the US only has 2 more time changes before we go to DST permanently.
