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.
a young deer
a supernatural nature spirit
a revolting colour
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.

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.

Hot stuff only burns if you don't say "f*ck!" and let go. I demonstrated this to a moronic teacher in school, who had the nerve to tell me I didn't understand physics. I was using a metal spoon to stir food in a hot pan, as most people do. I put my finger on the side of the hot pan, removed it and said "ouch, see, I can do biology too".

Did they ever decide if your automated care should save you or two strangers?
C
Commander Kinsey
You're missing one important thing - likelihood. At what chance fo death would you decide to be safe? The answer is different for everyone.

As you just said endorsing means "approving". So approving the disapproval of your driving ability? WTF?
They wear off pretty quickly, you just have to talk your way out of enough pig stops so you only get about one ticket a year.
Only 3 years? What was required to renew it?
I started with one of those. I don't have any license now, I lost it 5 years ago. It's somewhere in the house.... Quite funny if a pig asks if I have a license and I say "no I lost it", they always misunderstand.

Commander Kinsey
My point exactly, the Brits use it incorrectly.
C
Commander Kinsey
The points are on the front of the license.

People keep saying that, yet I've never managed it. I always connect + to + and - to - on the batteries themselves, in any order, like 99% of people do.
Firstly, why would you be connecting a battery which has already been on charge? Secondly, if a battery is giving off hydrogen in that high a quantity, isn't it losing half it's material?
C
Commander Kinsey
Must have been f****ng big jump leads, I would of thought the leads would die before the battery.

Commander Kinsey
I wish.
Even an engine has wider range than our pitiful legs.
Do they ever have more than 3 gears?
C
Commander Kinsey
I wish I'd witnessed that in person.
