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

Of weeds. Extra CO2 helps plant growth, but mostly by reducing the number of stomata so they can get all the CO2 they can use while losing less water.

Every igorant sucker for climate change denial propaganda uses that line.

You'd think it would get in your eye. I wouldn't like to use sprays near my eyes,

I do laugh at women who use flammable hairspray, then lean over a candle at a birthday.

I've only spray painted a few times, without much success. My first car - I think I used 50 rolls of masking tape. My garden fence - my grass changed colour. My neighbour had a go at the other side - he got it all over my shed. The walls in my conservatory - the paint kept clogging up - maybe it wasn't designed for thick gloss paint.

Dysgenics is as unpopular nowadays as eugenics.

No, its global *heating* and climate *crisis* or *emergency*.

I wasn't aware you were a religious nut.

Ah, a neanderthal.

In the UK that's actually illegal, unless you can prove it's a tool and you're a carpenter on your way to a job.

Looks an efficient way of cramming people in like sardines. Until you factor in the wasted space for the stairs.

If it's running on 6.25kV, how do you switch it before everything blows up?

241-253 depending how the transformer feels.

In no country is there 230V. It's 220 or 240 nominal.

You use a muscle which isn't tensed up. Only those in the path of the current are tensed. Assuming it's not going through your head, your brain can still make a decision. And it's not painful for muscles to tense up. You need a very high voltage to hurt (as in burn).

It used to be they put 50mA as the only ELCB in the fusebox. 30mA was for the little plug in ones for sissies and lawnmowers.

This was back in the 90s, when I saw other people's fuseboxes. I've never had breakers in any house I've lived in and never will. They're a pest.

Rating A B C D etc. The number of ms it's over 30mA before it cuts out.

Birth rates are below replacement in most developed countries. And people are living longer and better.

"Weak" has changed from the days of plowing by hand and fighting with spears.

I'm eclectic.

An identifiable male Neanderthal. 23AndMe confirms the Neanderthal DNA.

Which is why I have no intention of visiting the UK. Fortunately this is the US and i could balance it with a .45 ACP should I choose to do so. I do not because unlike the UK we don't have Moslem no-go zones in this state. The cold climate discourages parasites.

You do have to thin it appropriately. You can paint thin lines with an airbrush so there is negligible overspray. It's much better than a rattle can.

Some of the chinese laborers, blasting the railroad tunnels, lived in snow caves and didn't see daylight all winter.

The snow at the sierra crest is 240" deep up here right now.

Somewhere, I remember a story about a society where you have to have a license to be a parent. A man was denied because he was too strong.

Some people still seem to think that.

They were never very popular. I only used them on a "reverse commute" where I usually had a compartment to myself. The upper decks had no openable windows so they must have been hot and stuffy in summer.

Deeper in many areas. The summit at Mammoth had a total of 885" this season. The base at main lodge, which received 705" is currently 256"
