Here's my 'hot take' on car alarms.

Just ban them in their current form.

The only time anyone takes any action is when they are SO pissed off with that bloody noise going on and on and on that they call the authority about the noise nuisance.

"They're eating the Apple trees, they're eating the Peach"

She's got to go. I have to design something that will keep or scare out this deer, without waking the neighbours.

So, crossbow, not a shotgun? 🤔

A quotation from Banksy

The people who truly deface our neighbourhoods are the companies that scrawl their giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff. They expect to be able to shout their message in your face from every available surface but you’re never allowed to answer back. Well, they started this fight and the wall is the weapon of choice to hit them back.

love when people ask as I am managing my dog or rewarding her, "Is she in training?" The thing is, they're always in training. Yes, they have been formally trained, but like us, their learning doesn't stop when they complete formal training and are issued. If a dog is being asked to do anything, go anywhere, etc, it is in "training", just as we are as we move through the world. #totallyblind #travel #nuisance

Florida threatens to
🔥criminally charge TV stations airing #abortion #rights ad
🆘The Florida health department is demanding stations pull the ad,
❇️which urges voters to defeat the state’s six-week abortion ban at the polls

Florida’s health department threatened #criminal #charges for television stations that run a political ad calling for the repeal of the state’s six-week abortion ban,
one of the nation’s strictest.
💥At least two stations received cease-and-desist letters Thursday
written by John Wilson, general counsel from the Florida Department of Health,
❌demanding they pull the advertisement.

The health department and office of Florida Gov. #Ron #DeSantis (R) did not respond to requests for comment.

Wilson wrote that running the 30-second spot was a violation of Florida’s “#sanitary #nuisance” law,
🔸which is commonly used to charge people with overflowing septic tanks or unclean slaughterhouses.

🔥He ordered the stations to remove the ads within 24 hours or open themselves up to a second-degree misdemeanor charge,
which in Florida carries a 🆘sentence of imprisonment up to 60 days and a fine up to $500.

In the ad, Caroline Williams describes how ➡️ Florida’s current #abortion #ban would have put her in an early grave if it had been enacted a couple of years ago.

discoursemagazine.com/p/suing- “the Alexandria decision to allow people currently living in a legacy city to challenge a zoning update because it would make the city more like a city? This would be a huge step further, in not even allowing existing old cities to bring their codes more into alignment with their historic built form.” #zoning #landuselaw #nuisance #walkability #housing #alx #arlington #virginia #standing

Discourse · Suing the CityBy Addison Del Mastro

lol now that nuisance Vance’s bearded face is on on the thumbnail of a Business Insider article talking about how to get America to have more babies and I’m thinking: “oh, I remember. By outlawing abortion in all cases, rape and incest included. That’s what you said, isn’t it’s Vancy? Pass!”

#Sound Pollution and #Noise Pollution, the Not So Silent Killer as we think?

Light bulbs on dark blue background

How ironic that we hold International #Yoga day and preach the virtues of #quiet #meditation to the whole world, while being the loudest #country on the planet.

The International Noise Awareness Day is #observed in the month of April every year to sensitize people and raise awareness about the harmful #effects of noise on #hearing, #health and #quality of #life.

At Ministry of Acoustics, we understand that, #Noise is not only a #nuisance, it also hurts people’s health and disrupts ecosystems.

How can we quieten the world down today?

According to the United Nations Development Program (#UNDP), more trees, bushes and shrubs in cities could possibly curb the problem. They disperse and dampen noise while contributing to a better climate and cityscape.

We provide resolves, remedies and redressals against noise @ministryofacoustics
