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

A great book:

Not really. Midgets were pretty neutral on handling. Until you pushed them too far, then you got the back stepping out, like as not. But that was controllable. Worst car ever was a Ford Escort Mk I 1100. there the front would slide on loose or slippy surfaces and then the back would as well. Curiously, I pretty much wrote that one off..it was me mums, and we were driving some years after the mole valley floods over a temporary bridge that had been there at least 6 years, over the Mole at Cobham . The bridge featured a steep ramp, and then a metal plate, before the wooden surface. In the wet, using throttle to get up the ramp at less than

I grew up with American iron and power oversteer. My first FWD car was an Audi LS100. That experience almost ended badly before I got it sorted out. I'd bought it prior to the national 55 mph speed limit and it was a car that could have inspired the 'I can't drive 55' song. It was geared with Autobahns in mind, not snail trails.

There are also variations in the colour sensitivity of the alleles. Some women have two different varieties on their two X chromosomes, and may be able to differentiate colours that normal people can't.

The trick is to lower the track, not raise the bridge. But it does mean closing the line for quite a long time...

However trains can't cope with slopes in the way that motor vehicles can, so the lowering might have to start some miles back

A very long time when a number of bridges over the line are preceded by a bridge carrying the line over a canal for ocean going ships, that cannot be lowered, and followed immediately by a station, with fixed platform heights.

I'd prefer space to heat.

Vinyl made to look like wood doesn't look like wood.

Is that tetris? I hope the "architect" was tortured slowly.

Those go the same place, so why give both?

My neighbour has a beige carpet. She decided it was getting old, so replaced it with the exact same carpet. I couldn't tell the difference, she claimed it wasn't so worn.

I thought it was another word for fawn or beige.

I thought they called that "royal blue" or "royal purple"? Those sound fancier than "mauve".

I'm amazed we can't just make colours without them having nasty chemical abilities.

White? Ugh. We have colour eyesight, use it.

If it isn't clear, you're dehydrated.

I do wish people would say problems.

I've only heard 1 and 3. I had to look up sycophantic. Can't we just say parasitical flatterer?

Since when did a colour have the variable "opacity"? You can have the same blue solid piece of plastic as the blue liquid sat next to it.

GREEN?!

Mould coloured would be the best idea.

Do you mean the piss has sat there a while, or it came form an old person?

Shimano do hubs?

Then it can no longer be called an endorsement.
