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.

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

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 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.

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.
