why do many big boxing fights always take place in las vegas in the middle of the f***ing night regardless of the participant's nationalities ?
and don't say money, as the pay per view tv companies, and those who gladly pay for such fights couldn't give a rat's fanny if it takes place in vegas, vancouver or vigo.
is it the mafia, do they control boxing ?

My dog is a mongrel but very clearly a cross between a German Shepherd Dog and a Collie.
Many dog people have said the we have the best of both worlds, intelligent, loyal, and easily trained. Funnily enough, the vet, who had seen her several times previously said exactly the opposite. She just worst of both worlds. Everyone loves Fender, she's all the things she should be, gentle and quiet as well. Actually my wife wishes she would bark when strangers come to the door, you know, just to show we have a dog.
My question is; when dogs are cross-bred how do they know they're getting the best bits of the 2 breeds and not the worst? Same applies to horse breeding, how do they ensure that the horse, if that's what they want, can run incredibly fast over short distances or, if they want it, run reasonably fast over longer distance and jump huge fences?

Why do viruses make you ill? If a virus left you healthy enough to go to work and socialise as normal, it would spread faster. In fact, a virus that made you feel better than usual, so you would get up early and go to the Gym for 2 hours before work, then after work hit the bars until dawn, would spread all over the world.
I thought it's usually your own bodies immune reaction that makes you actually feel ill rather than the virus itself?Isn't it the case that bats have very weak immune systems and conversely that means they can host numerous harmful viruses (including Coronavirus) with no ill effects?

A good horse can out run the McDonald's butcher. Many dog people have said the we have the best of both worlds, intelligent, loyal, and easily trained.

I think you’re not getting the best or the worst, you’re getting the average of the two breeds. Many dog people have said the we have the best of both worlds, intelligent, loyal, and easily trained.

So instead of the benefit being good things enhanced, it’s more like the benefit is the negatives being diminished.
I sometimes look at gridwatch and on there is the uk and french electricity figures. France has roughly the same population than us yet seem to need to generate much larger amounts of electricity?

Are they consuming it or selling it to other nations? A lot of their power is nuclear so can't turn on/off like a gas plant can and they have a lot of land borders, so potential customers for their nuclear energy.https://gridwatch.templar.co.uk/

Really? Loved these as a kid. They seemed the size of dinner plates. We used to call them 'big blacks'. Ha! Can't say that anymore! Have to call them small blacks now.

It was an extra gear cluster between the gearbox and driveshaft, so it operated on all gears - rather like the high/low range transfer box of a 4x4
Indeed. Although very often was only enabled for use on the highest gears even though, as you say, it was theoretically capable of being applied to all gears.More info at

Was 'overdrive' in 60s and 70s cars just a fifth gear? Or, was it something else?

Dunno, but if it was mafia-related, wouldn't it come down to the other word beginning with m that you said not to say?and don't say money, as the pay per view tv companies, and those who gladly pay for such fights couldn't give a rat's fanny if it takes place in vegas, vancouver or vigo.
