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

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?

You're missing one important thing - likelihood. At what chance fo death would you decide to be safe? The answer is different for everyone.

When piss color gets old, it can turn into s*it color.

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.

My point exactly, the Brits use it incorrectly.

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?

Must have been f****ng big jump leads, I would of thought the leads would die before the battery.

I wish.

Even an engine has wider range than our pitiful legs.

Do they ever have more than 3 gears?

I wish I'd witnessed that in person.

Ah, you're one of those. Won't go until you have enough room for a f****ng bus.

Why make it safe? Just drive along with it open. More downforce innit?

Radiators really should have some kind of sturdy cover.

A young woman rear ended me on a motorway, my towbar went straight through her radiator, and her headlight and bonnet were busted by my bumper. When we stopped, she asked "was it you I hit?!?" as there was no damage to my car at all. I refused her offer of her insurance details as I had nothing to claim. I told her not to tell her insurance company as the premium rise would be higher than just buying some bits from a scrapyard.

The window should be at the very back, or was it one of those utterly stupid saloons?

I love it when they do that. I made a profit of £600 by repairing what they said was not repairable.

I hope you got them to pay for those scratches :-)

The police shouldn't be encouraging accidents.

In that era they were both three speeds. Some of the TorqueFlites were 4 speed. I believe both Sturmey-Archer has an 8 speed and Shimano is up to

So 8kW = 6 HP. This seems unlikely to be true, even in the very short term.

I agree with you in so far as they should be the same, but none should have rules. I drive at 100mph-120mph in a 70 limit, and why shouldn't I?

Don't be stupid. The alledged reason for the silly speed limits is safety. If you're lighter, you cause less harm at the same speed. And you can't expect a simple bicycle to have a speedometer fitted.

I cycle the wrong way, on the pavement if the road's busy. Only ever been told off by a drunk shouting "Thashillegal!" Why the hell should I cycle an extra mile for a stupid one way system (which I disobey with my car too). Those things should not exist in the first place. It's high time the treehuggers did something useful and pointed out how much extra fuel is used driving further.

I've gone 40mph downhill, but it's a mountain bike, so far more stable than those skinny bikes I call "racing bikes" - they look like the things they use in the tour de France. Narrow handlebars - not enough leverage to balance properly. Skinny tyres that trip over potholes. And often not even any suspension, my bike has suspension both ends.

I don't think those are even enforceable for a car - they never do here anyway. They're just guidelines for the namby pamby mothers who think you need to protect their retarded kids around a school.

Pathetic, buy a better one.

I'm sure you can get one. There are companies which will convert a normal bike into an electric bike for example, so you can have any bike you like with electric assist.
