A stone that size would weigh about 25 tonnes (or tons).  The trailer
in the video might be able to handle 1 tonne.  With the trailer wheels
shown, probably less.  The painted rock is likely to be a fake.

 
All good logical points and my wife probably tried to explain at the time!

Would have been 2014 the original one, or at least the one that fooled me
for a while, it’s why such folks as my self get a higher rate of

When the clocks change, I just jack up the house and rotate it 15 degrees.

"S.29 - Sunshine Protection Act of 2025"
<https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/29/text>

If the bill passes, year round daylight savings time will become the
new standard time unless a state decides to ignore daylight saving
time, leave things alone, or add some more amendments to really screw

Personally, I wouldn't mind switching to GMT/UTC but that's likely to
make things worse.  Pick a standard, any standard:

but don't change the time in mid-year.

I'm still waiting for a study of how much energy and dollars was saved
by enlarging DST in the US:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_the_United_States>

In 2019, California attempted to make DST more "flexible" (which means
adjust the dates to which way the political wind is blowing).  The
bill failed to pass:
