Sometimes, even a one way switch can be really confusing. We have this outlet in our bedroom that always has been ON. One day the lamp would not come on. I replaced the bulb, no light. I switched out the lamp still no light. I checked the outlet with a tester, no power. I checked the circuit breaker - all breakers ON.

Guess what? Our 4 year old granddaughter had "discovered" and switched a light switch on the wall (that we never had used and wasn't aware of) -

I have a one-way switch in my bedroom. I thought I knew the outlet it was for and had my standing lamp plugged in. I also had a Google Home speaker plugged into the same outlet.

I only just realized this week after about 3 months that the switch triggers _both_ plugs in that outlet, not just one.

YOU need to remember that some of us live above the equator and you live "down under"!

Note how your water flows when going down a drain - opposite of the way water flows up here.

Soooooo maybe ...... just maybe, electrical currents flow different ....... soooo .... our light switches may be different.

So there -

Myth. Water can and will go down the drain in either direction in either hemisphere. The plumbing and how the water approach’s they drain determines how it goes down.

They are crazy expensive. I don't even think the rotors are two piece. I saw an RX8 with full PMU brakes and I thought damn bro, worth like 6 times more then the whole car.

Brakes are for cowards anyhow.

Canadian water is just more accomodating than U.S. or Aussie water.
