Its a very powerful album......
I guess you could always say “Hey Siri play songs 9 through 17 of Abbey Road” or “Hey Siri play You Never Give Me Your Money through Her Majesty”.
Digital format or not, side 2 of Abbey Road will always be side 2 of Abbey Road to me.
Kinda like side 4 of Quadrophenia or side 1 of Close To The Edge.
Side 2 of Abbey Road will always be side 2 of Abbey Road.
Siri knows what side 2 of Abbey Road is, and that’s all she needs to know.
Edit for side 1 of 2112.....

I thought there might be some cruise control usage! I have occasionally used cruise for pit in signaling so I can use my hand.
The regions I have run with decided removing my hand from the hand control (both accelerator and brake for the unfamiliar) was probably less safe than using the blinker...

I’ve driven w the audi club and blinkers
This audi club region uses the OPPOSITE blinker, indicating where you DONT want the car to pass. And no one knows how many passing signals are given “because ITS BLINKING”. They say its because “they do it this way at the Ring”.
I feel its so dangerous that i give hand signals simultaneously.
ITS STUPID AND DANGEROUS. (Ignoring the whole coversation about open and closed windows).
HORRIBLE, and DANGEROUS

Race Car
Is there a way an Instructor can confirm student has used turn signals and turned them off? I usually can't see the lights from the right seat...
I could see them being left on a problem. or for multiple passes.
How is that handled?

One thing about blinkers is that there is no mistake you are getting a point by and what side to go to. With some people you can’t tell what side to go to with the point by that kind of looked like it was possibly maybe over the car roof...of the guys that give the quick .1 millisecond point by and you don’t even see them pointing you by.
