Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

They don't have to know. It's us that buys the tyres.

That's no more meaningfull.

Very unlikely for all those things to happen at once. I didn't get vaccinated either, I never wear a seatbelt, and I never enter the lottery. Remote chances don't interest me.

The multiple LNBs/transponders (or whatever) won't be for different users, they'll be for different muxes, i.e. frequencies/polarisations.

And neighbours might get on in a "Good morning, how are you" kind of way, but that doesn't mean they will realise that their system is buggering up others' reception, as that is a technical matter.

Starboard=steerboard, and most steersmen were right handed.

No, they are for different tellies. Because there are so many muxes and frequencies that its so unlikley that you will want to view two programs on the same mux, that each port on the wall into which a telly plugs has its own LNB.

And neighbours might get on in a "Good morning, how are you" kind of

I wouldn't think they are

Loosey lefty and righty tighty. For bolts...

I remember as a lad going to nick a few light bulbs from cars at Ron Charlton's scrapyard. Whilst going about that we noticed the number of cars that had very bent steering wheels, this i was told was because the drivers having hit most anything their body flew forward and their chest impacted the wheel and bent it, and no way could we bend it back.

Ron's old boy there said that most all the drivers in that sort of impact didn't survive:(

Then came a seatbelt's and that became a thing of the past once people started using them and we got round the stupidity of "its better to be thrown clear of the car you know" idiocy.

I know someone who's an ex A&E consultant he'll give you chapter and verse on car injuries;!...

So you could use a lightbulb as a fuse?

Completely unnecessary. All you need is the power to stop if something shorts so you don't set fire to your house.

Whatever happened to the idea that to improve road safety steering wheels should have a spike in the middle?

(This might be called "safety hazard", by analogy with "moral hazard".)

Are circuit breakers completely unnecessary? What's to limit current and wires getting hot inside walls?

I'm not sure if the screw thread is the same as a light bulb, but they sure looked the same. I can't try it here, as our house was built in

An incendescent light bulb would be a good current limiter for low current circuits; nicely nonlinear and self-resetting. Like a PTC thermistor, which we use on circuit boards. The disc kind, not surface-mount.

There never was any such idea unless you are expressing yourself very badly.

So you were a late developer then.

I'm surprised I can't find clocks on Ebay with fingers. You can get them with forks and knives ffs.

Their TV I like. But their website is just Ebay but more expensive and harder to use.

Then you're an idiot. We may even have had a green button like a mobile, I can't remember, it was a long time ago. Nobody complained anyway.

Then again, in the UK, an external number would always begin with 0. Internal ones were 2/3/4. No idea why they started at 2000, but it was already that way so I left the numbers the same when we went digital. So if you dialled 01234 567890 (a fictitious national number), and paused, 0123 would be invalid.

The law isn't funny it's a pest.

They don't understand the word "endorsement" either. It actually means to support something, yet they say the points on your driving license are endorsements. Bu they're disallowing you! Get too many and they take it away!

They're just lines drawn on the ground, it's absurd we can't just walk about.

Only if they're underage.

There's only one dogging place around here, and it's not the sort I like. Apparently there are no women.
