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

"Regular urine color ranges from clear to pale yellow"

Tan is rather off the end of normal, but I have 'issues'.

If I did the maths I'd get a more complete answer.

But there are many wheels.

A fully laden truck/lorry/whatever you call them over there can't stop as quick as a car, but it can stop in a safe distance. A train cannot, it's not fit for purpose. If something unexpected happens, it just ploughs through it. Trains are outdated technology and it's high time we got rid of them. Maybe a maglev can stop quicker?

Then the wheels should be rubber like every other vehicle. Try driving your car without tyres.

Surely cogs can go over 10mph. Your car gearbox is full of them turning at very high speed.

Trains run on private tracks and make their own rules

Trains are about 5x as efficient as trucks for moving stuff.

Has maglev ever really worked? Most maglev systems came and went.

Lot darker than that if you haven't had enough to drink.

Bullshit.

More to the point, railway tracks are normally fenced off and it is illegal for the public to access them except at level crossings - which have lights/barriers to exclude the public when a train is approaching or require those crossing to check that it is safe to do so (visually for pedestrians or by phoning the signal box for vehicles). Unlike roads, no one without specific authorisation should be on the tracks at all, so trains should not need to stop suddenly.

RPI had a mostly working model maglev train and were trying to build a full scale demo with about a mile of track in Rensselaer, NY. That was c.

China and Japan at least have working systems but a cost/benefit analysis has never been friendly to the technology.

I suppose a mythological critter can be any color it damn well pleases.

Only in western europe, just not possible in the rest of the world.

But they do anyway. In India they do it even at railway stations and live on the rail lines too.

But trivial to walk around the barriers

Have fun doing that here.

Our rural level crossings dont have barriers.

Unfortunately we are now in etymology land where faun and fawn are used interchangeably for at least three different things

And fawn has 4 different distinct uses.

1. a young deer
2. a supernatural nature spirit
3. a revolting colour
4. revolting sycophantic behaviour.

Urine can never be fawn, because fawn is a pastel, never a translucent, color. To have fawn urine would mean you were pissing out solids in suspension. You might therefore get fawn by pissing into some milk. Otherwise urine is the colour of tea - from water, through green tea, to fermented indian tea, depending on diet and kidney damage.

No, but a fawn bowl will show piss a lot less than a white one.

Bullshit. I've wired them up myself in a school. You take one of the eight (or two for some boxes which record multiple channels) to each box/TV. You can therefore have 4 or 8 from each dish.

You cannot bugger someone's reception, they are seperate receivers.

F*ck the lefties.

Any plumber who needs that oughta resign right now.

I have used lightbulbs as a limiter for a microwave transformer when doing nasty high voltage stuff.

No need to keep the tradition.

You must have heard of a fuse. It stops the power over a certain current. Very simple device, no nuisance trips. Built in surge allowance. My house uses them.
