I have got to disagree somewhat. I don't know for sure why your fish died but it wasn't just that it got cold. I am sure that I have got AT LEAST 8 inches of ice on my pond now and the fish will be fine. They have gone through 5 winters and I don't think that I have lost more than a couple of fish in the winter. You may want to consider just shutting off the pumps when it is cold. Circulating the water too much can prevent the thermoclines from developing and the water on the bottom gets colder than if you just let the surface freeze and not stir up the water. Perhaps swimming against the current in the skimmer was part of the stress that killled them. When the fall weather approaches freezing I turn off the waterfall and the skimmer and wait until spring. I use a home made de-icer to keep a hole in the ice. But even that has gone out and I have had the hole freeze up for 2 weeks at a time without any loss of fish. Most recently the GFI tripped and the hole froze over for a week or more. The tropical fish would need to come in but comets, koi etc can take the cold if they don't have additional stresses and you aren't super-cooling the water by circulating cold water from the surface to the bottom.

Right click the desktop, properties - screen saver tab - click the power button - mine is set to always on, then turn off monitor in 20 mins, the rest say never. Click apply, then ok. I have nothing checked on the hibernation tab and no screensaver. See if that helps.

I like it. Curled up behind my legs, sharing my pillow, next to me, doesn't bother me. I guess I find it comforting. And I don't mind the snoring either LOL. Cooper is big, but surprisingly light footed on the bed. He comes and goes, prefers to sleep downstairs but visits during the night and comes back in the morning. I swear he takes less room than the smaller pug! I like when the cats cuddle and purr as well. As for health evidence that proves it is detrimental? You could hand me evidence that PROVES this will shorten my life by several years and I would still do it. Show me that it is worse than smoking, drinking, swilling sugary drinks and eating purina people chow and calling it food, spraying bee killing chemicals on cash crops that have no real value, filling our water and air with pollution, and packing our soil with artificial fertilizers so we can suck the life out of Mother Earth herself. I'll take sleeping with dogs and cats on my bed in a heartbeat. And I am allergic :) Dances.

Ask the building manager when the condo’s sprinkler company is coming for their next scheduled inspection, and arrange for them to come to your unit during the visit. You really don’t want to be responsible for an unauthorized person messing with the sprinklers.
