A branch starts pulling the beam its way. Physically tilt your phone the other way to hold it level — then choose the check that removes the load for good. Counter-tilting only buys you time; only the right check ends the round.

Motion control
No motion sensor, or you'd rather not enable it? The ← and → buttons and your keyboard arrow keys do exactly the same thing. Nothing is locked behind the sensor.
Tilt readings are used on your device to move the beam and are never stored, sent anywhere, or attached to your account.
Event 1 of 9
Executive branch is pulling
Holding.
The executive branch spends money on a program Congress never appropriated.
Which check actually answers this?
The point
Every load on that beam had an answer, and the answer was almost never 'the loudest branch wins.' It was a specific sentence, held by a specific body, that someone has to actually use. A check nobody exercises is not a check — it's a decoration.
