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.

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.

We did that in the 90s while they were still new. See: The Toxic Avengers.

Honestly, I feel like they've made side loading easier and easier as times go on. Used to be that you'd just get a pop up that installs weren't authorized for that app, then you had to dig through the settings to enable it. Nowadays the pop up has a shortcut to the correct settings page and even visually flashes the right toggle for you to make it easier to find.
