the only problem with using that method for a gas valve is that if it got “stuck” closed, it could very well get “stuck” open, and no hvac guy with any sense would take that liability on. Better to just stock a few common gas valves on the truck and hope you’ll have what they need or have them wait until the supply house is open, it’s not perfect, but it’s better than having the house explode.

Steven, Eastern Ukraine belonged to the russian empire based out of St Petersburg for hundreds of years (before Moscow even existed), until the bolshevik comunists in the early 19th centur took those chunks away from russia to make ukraine bigger durring the very early days of the CCCP. Western Ukraine was part of Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the north & Hungary for the south for hundreds of years. Only a small portion central modern day ukraine was part of a small Penkova kingdom in the Post-Zarubintsy period. That kingdom was known as "Kiev Culture" which is what would define Ukraine in today's age. "Ukraine" as we know it shouldnt exist. The region should truly only be the size of Macedonia, instead its bigger than former Yugoslavia (Macedonia+Serbia+Bosnia-Hertzogovina+Croatia) and then some.

Putin studied law at Leningrad State University, graduating in 1975. He worked as a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years in East Germany, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel, before resigning in 1991. **Allegedly** Russian president Vladimir Putin and his long-time ally Victor Ivanov, who is currently head of Russia's narcotics agency, are said to have run a drug smuggling and money laundering ring in St Petersburg in the 1990s. In July 1998 Pres. Boris Yeltsin made Putin director of the Federal Security Service (FSB; the KGB’s domestic successor). On December 31, 1999, Yeltsin unexpectedly announced his resignation and named Putin acting president. I really hope Vladimir Putin enjoys eternity in hell.
