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

I think my ex is on that plan. Between limited mobility, covid, and crime in NYC she doesn't get out much.

The Beatles did a lot of songs in American.

As I drove cross country, it started pulling harder and harder to the right. Some cheap stamped part of the suspension was tearing. I might not have emerged from the Grand Canyon. The shop in Fremont CA was amazed that I was alive. They couldn't get a new part so they hammered and welded the torn one.

Kissinger got the same result, tho he was older than that when they migrated.

Yes.

Nope, there were always tribes, even with the higher apes and monkey and almost all other animal species.

That utterly mangles the real story.

You sure you don't with the word honour ?

She offered her honour He honoured her offer...

It's tough to run a village or a factory or an army (or a family) if people can't understand each other.

Tribes separate and compete and fight based on just accents too.

In the case of the Crimea in a perfect world it would be given back to the Tatars.

Sevastapol certainly is a factor. While the Black Sea isn't a great place for a fleet given the difficulty of getting to the open sea for all its land mass Russia has limited options. Neither Murmansk or Vladivostok are the greatest ports.

Exceptions prove the rule and all that. Honor and honest, but definitely not honey. Unfortunately honor isn't a word that is very applicable in the US.

Or have some honest elections and let the residents decide. Honest elections in Ukraine _and_ Russia.

As if.

Nope. Factorys work fine with lots of immigrants with minimal english.

Armys in spades back when mercenarys were the main source of troops.

Even in WW2, the Italian army worked fine even when so many Italians couldnt understand other Italians. The problem with the Italian Army wasnt the language, it was that they were gutless.

Same with the Germans with so many Hungarians, Romanians etc involved with them.

BULLSHIT.

The english civil was was never about accents.

Nope, just like england won't be given back to the celts, angles, saxons, jutes, etc etc etc either.

Never bought that mindlessly silly line.

No., the majority are ethnic Ukraine, although Russia has made it very easy for Russians to settle there and has oppressed the Ukrainians there.

Historically the Crimea has never been

Histrorically te Crimea was perfectly happy to be part of anybody who didnt murder them. Today the best bet is Ukraine

It originated when 'prove' meant 'test' rather than today's 'show to be true'. Hence a test area was a 'proving ground'. Something might prove to be a failure.

What the saying meant is that a single exception actually tests the rule, and shows it to be false, whereas no number of compliances will ever show the rule to be true.

Given today's meaning of 'prove', the saying is now indeed just plain silly.

I don't buy that either.

Fraid not.

In '69 the USMC had training platoons where Hispanics were taught marksmanship, field craft, and enough English to get by.

Of course Roosevelt and Churchill were fine with supporting Stalin and dooming eastern Europe to decades of oppression.

Presumably many of the United Irishmen in 1798 spoke English; Wolfe Tone certainly did. The Brits put that attempt for freedom down rather harshly and then were wily enough to drive a wedge between Catholics and Protestants.
