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

I don't have either. The earth is from the cable from the substation. (Combined neutral and earth).

We invented the f****ng language.

And your country hasn't done very well, considering the billion times extra land you can't be bothered using.

I can't stand the Liverpooooooooool accent. Where the ooooo is 4 octaves higher than any man should be able to achieve.

There are too many of these silly little words. Have a read through any text, and you'll find you can delete 90% of the instances of the word "that", without changing the meaning one bit. And it still sounds quite normal to read it.

But I meant too short for a noun.

I'm too young to know Oscar Wilde. I only know Gene Wilder.

"Qualifications? Rape, murder, arson, and rape. You said rape twice. I like rape."

It doesn't create bugs if done properly. My car learns how the engine changes as it ages. It modifies the timing etc accordingly. Runs a damn sight smoother than the old s*it.

Please take your hardware programmers and get them to write software. The world is full of f***ed up software. Half the bugs I've found weren't mistakes, they were gross stupidity. Programmers not anticipating things. Not expecting a number to go negative, so they use an unsigned integer and you get 4-7=42 billion. WTF?

Purple appears between red and blue, violet is different.

Yes we can. Stare at a UV bulb and it feels weird.

Bullshit. I have one which records 4 from 2. You can get ones which record 16 from 2.

We were talking about dishes, nobody has used an aerial since a few decades ago.

You can buy an amplifier with multiple outputs.

NEver known if such weirdness. I just feed the amp with power where it is instead of running it through the aerial wire.

Impossible since the earth/neutral is on the outside of the wire. But if it did, you'd simply get no power.

What an utter waste of time and money.

WTF do you mean "totally unbalanced"? If there is no neitral, no current would flow in live or neutral when you turn on the kettle. 0 and 0 is perfectly balanced.

If you have one of those pansy things. I have fuses.

Do we care what the fatality rate was in blacks?

Death from Hepatitus B has a hugely higher rate among asians, including many-generation well-off asian-americans. Some writers blame this on social factors and don't mention the HLA antigen effect.

That happened to me in my old Victorian. Some of the lights got *very* bright. One phase was over 140 volts. PG&E rolled a truck but the crew didn't believe me; they said "your voltmeter isn't calibrated", which makes no sense. These guys learn their trade but don't often actually understand electricity.

I showed them the lights and they grudgungly admitted it might be possible, then they found an open neutral between poles. The old Vic apparently had no local neutral ground, or at least a very bad one.

Someone has to make sure the amplifier can cope with short circuits in the output. s

It doesn't matter what you want to do. The fact is, some TVs and PVRs have the facility and the option could be on by accident or default.

You can't expect Mrs Miggins of flat 4 to understand such technicalities. That's why it's easier for each user to have his/her own aerial. Cooperation required organisation.

Then there are the 294,275 square miles of national forests and 387,500 square miles of BLM land. Were Kinsey to visit he might figure out why nobody lives there.

I quite like those colours.

I guess if you want free electricity, you just lean out of the window and tap into one of those randomly placed wires.

We don't seem to have that problem now. Better shielding?

You can get arrested for discussing boy's bollocks apparently.
