4 months agoIn the railway context an engineer was the person who worked the engine.
In German the word comes from Latin roughly meaning inventor. Presumably the general usage of the word engineer in English has the same etymology.

Sounds even better if you don’t have a car like me.
Does Fred the Swede at least have a cameo at some point?
All of the USSR was +7 IIRC. Most changed it after independence, notice how the Baltics, Belarus and whatnot have previously unassigned three-character numbers instead of two like most of Europe (except microstates). They only got their numbers in the 90s, and no shorter ones were available. +37 just became available since east Germany didn’t exist anymore.
Same with the former Yugoslavian countries, all of YU used +38, when they split up they had to split up +38 too.
