I remember pumping my 23mm tires up to 120 PSI.

65 is a "get home" pressure, not a "ride for hours" pressure with any bike/wheel/tire/old fat guy combination I have.

Maybe you can get her to prorate, based on the time to answer a single question?

65psi is near the high end of the recommended range for my gravel bike tires, but - as I said before - on my bike, with my tires, and the way I ride, I'm not going to do that. Will it survive? Yes. I'm still not going to do that.

My back tire is a 25 and has a slow leak, I pumped it up this morning to about 125, and forgot to pump it before I left work. I checked the pressure just now when I got home and it was 38 psi. I also weighed myself and got 229 lbs. Was careful and did not pinch flat on the 6.5 mile commute.
If you need very particular pressures for your bicycle, it's a skill issue.

I pump my tires to consistent pressures because predictable performance matters to me during times when I'm nearing the limits of what my bike and I are capable of, and variations in tire pressure can alter performance significantly.

When trying to change the indicator the entire gauge turned. If it’s adjustable, it’s very stuck, id have to get a pipe wrench as a backing wrench if a want to apply more force.
completely unrelated, but my job wants me to apply for an “engineering associate” position which is a massive promotion. I was just trying to be a technician. They’re out of their minds suggesting that I get this position lol.

“a moveable arrow on the outside of the pump...” So I found a review of the pump, and the guy claims it is movable. Mine looks the same and looks movable but it won’t move, maybe he never actually checked to see if it moves? He’s just some dude, not exactly an infallibility source.
how do you suggest I grip it to adjust the indicator? Pipe wrench seems the obvious choice, but maybe I could file some flats to grab, do it properly. Would feel like a jerk though if I broke it though cause it’s not mine. I don’t have experience with penetrating oil, little intimidated by wd-40, and don’t know where any is.

Yes, we should leave this thread alone.
Larry is messing with us.
He makes that clear in his last post: “He’s just some dude, not exactly an infallibility source.”
Do you really think it took him 9 days to figure out searching for the model name?
This thread wasn’t believable from the start.
What’s interesting is the mods realize is a BS thread and are OK with it.

Again, do you really believe he needed 9 days to figure out to look the model up? Or 9 days to find the model on a little pump? He's posted photos before and, in this thread, his iPhone isn't compatible? 7 days ago, Do you really think he's really doubting a review of the pump because the reviewer is "just some dude, not exactly an infallibility source"? He's laying it on real thick in #97.
And it's not just these.
It should be easy for you to see it. (Other people have.)
I'm suspecting Larry isn't alone in this thread. Or I have a nice bridge for sale with your name on it.
