That is not what “unstop” means. You unstop a drain that is clogged, you don’t unstop something you want to restart.

    That’s an invaluable lesson.

      Tbh it bothers me that invaluable doesn’t mean “with no/little value”.

        It does, it means no value, as in priceless.

          Not really, the term comes from a time that value equaled to price. The modern meaning of value is equivalent to importance though. No value means without importance, not without price, which is not equivalent to invaluable.

          If they weren’t such opposed concepts one could even let it pass, but “invaluable” cannot be corresponded to “no value” anymore.
