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.

Usually they camp it in language where they are only able to cut one check (company policy of one check per PO, for example), but they need to pay two people, you and another facilitator such as a transport service. The extra money is to pay for the transport service, which is actually also the scammer.

Yes, feelings are when you think something works in a certain way without facts to back it up. Like the opinion that strict policing reduces crime. It's a common opinion, but not one that is consistent with the facts.

Do you think that Oakland, Chicago, and Detroit do not have police? Those cities have very harsh police departments and it's not reducing crime. What those cities do have in common is a high poverty rate when geographically controlled and above average poverty rates for the US without even taking geography into account.

What do I want? I want to make changes that comport to the facts of the world, not people's feelings.

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.

I personally really like StartAllBack. I just want a clean classic Windows experience.

 

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?
