Except, a pressure gage reads the number it's pointing at. Not 1 hand means the number it's pointing at and the other means 5 times the most recent digit passed plus 1 for each tick mark.

I'd wager that most people would never even see a pressure gage with two hands. Dual-indicating double-bourdon tube differential pressure gages are quite rare in the real world. Usually for that kind of application you'd go digital.

And the "inscribe ancient runes" step takes up to 4 months.

This sounds an awful lot like the PS3 OtherOS class-action lawsuit that Sony had to pay out on.

I haven't put paint to brush in about 20 years, but got an itch and decided to throw together one of these smaller teams using mostly paint the kid had leftover after painting rocks. Now I just need to figure out the rules and find some opponents!

Not quite strong enough to be Everclear. 95% packs a helluva punch.

That's an interesting opinion. Unfortunately, the facts don't quite align with your feelings.

it's imperative that we have strong police forces throughout the country to minimize crime

Why do you believe this? Police forces as they exist today aren't even as old as the US. Sure, the US wasn't a bastion of freedom upon its founding but that wasn't due to a lack of police. The absolute biggest factors for controlling neighborhood level crime are increasing public education and reducing the effects of poverty.

I don't think people understand how big, and free the US is. Whenever you get something like this, strict law enforcement is not only needed, it's required.

And this is the weirdest take right here. Freedom and strong, strict police forces are inversely related by definition. One could even point to the origin of many police departments as opposition to freedom.

But severance pay is almost always part of consideration in a "you can't sue us" contract. So the company is not just giving you pay in lieu of notice, they're buying your rights away.

I've also seen plenty of corporations that punish you when you give two weeks notice by immediately barring you from working and you end up losing two weeks pay by planning on being considerate.

I would actually argue that Google Play Music was the best music streaming app that I've used. It was great being able to upload music from CDs of small local bands and have it right in there with the other streaming music.

Just today I had a hankering to listen to a specific song through my android auto, and instead of just being able to verbally ask the unit for that song, or even being able to search through the atrocity that is the YouTube Music interface on my head unit, I had to pull over, pull out my phone, search for the band, then click the uploads tab (because uploaded music does not show with the regular search results) and then click the song to get it to play.

If you like the punchlines from the comics, but are disappointed in the show, remember that the movie Coneheads exists.

When looking at Local or All I want to use Top6. However, when viewing smaller communities, there may not be any posts in the past 6 hours, so I want to sort those by new.

Can Connect have a way to remember that so that I don't have to keep changing my sort settings?

I think a skills-based aptitude test that is honed towards specific occupations and a vague intelligence test that the creators even believe barely gives a tenuous grasp on mental ability is not a good comparison.

I'm confused by your definition of fossil fuels.

It's not a 100% solution, but many head units will have hdmi input, but you might have to accidentally install the head unit in a way that bypasses the parking brake interlock for it to work while driving. Most phones can utilize a USB-C to hdmi adapter for screen mirroring, although touch data won't be sent to the phone.
