Why do drive-up bank teller machines have "braille" on the keypads?  :shruggy:

The silly answer would be so that the blind can use them too

But the sensible answer is that keypads with brail are already mass produced for other applications, so no need to change it

Chlorine actually "evaporates" out of water after a little time. So by the time it reaches your tap (faucet) it it probably not there

When I filled my pond last year and did not add chlorine neutralizer it killed all my prized Koi.  A sad day to be sure.  But generally, as I understand, chlorine out-gasses if the water is left in an open pond over several days. Chloramine, a similar substance, does not out-gas and will kill stuff and is used in municipal water supplies.  RIP Deli, the pure white and now dead Koi.  Kim
