You are speaking of minimum requirements. Do they have maximums? Do all governments comply with the law all the time? Again, you’re trying to draw conclusions without specific evidence for this case. I can’t tell if you’re being obtuse or are just a troll.

Again, you are making assumptions. Maybe they are as you described, but unless you know them and the fire station in question, you don’t know that their fire station isn’t louder than is reasonable. In sum, it’s unfair to criticize them because you have zero evidence.

While they do have to be loud to do their job, you are making assumptions about its volume. The only one with actual experience with it is saying it’s too loud.

I don’t think the problem is having one to alert people. The issue is how loud is too loud to serve that purpose? It sounds like it may be too loud.

I think it’s been like this since money was invented.

He must be who keeps driving in front of me…

“What’s mine is…n’t yours.”

One of my favorite bands was once called “post-modern.” I was like wtf does that mean? Is that supposed to mean futuristic? Their music doesn’t sound futuristic. They’re just dorks who like science and found a way to make a livelihood making music.

My ex’s parents had a vette when we were ~20 and they let her drive it. It was decently speedy, but nothing to write home about.

My experience was that everyone was interested in knowing the gender, but no one ever had any responses other than happy ones relating to the answer. We ended up with one boy and one girl so there was an opportunity for people to comment positively and negatively for the binary genders. We had a lot of people comment on it being nice that we ended up with 1 boy and 1 girl, but I took that as getting to experience raising both binary genders. Also, everyone was excited to buy baby clothes targeting little girls and little boys. While my daughter has a “girly” side to her, she also wears hand-me-downs from my son whose clothes are not “girly.”

I will say, I have worked hard to keep people in my life who are good people and get away from the rest (e.g., I haven’t talked with my biological mother in 20 years because she drains energy and money from everyone around her). So, that may be why my experience was different. Although, I also experienced this with strangers (e.g., people in the grocery store were happy to chat with my wife about her pregnancy regardless of whether my wife was. At least they were all nice.).

Maybe it’s localized.

I’m in Florida. Newborns won’t have a chance here.

I’d vote for him over Trump, but he has not won me over by any stretch, just like Harris, Biden, and (Hillary) Clinton.

A fun PR person sending tweets is insufficient to win my vote. I wouldn’t be voting for him, I’d be voting against Trump, as has been the case each time Trump has been on the ballot.

We used to buy fresh peaches roadside when on vacation and driving through Georgia. They were delicious. I don’t know if roadside stands still have the same quality these days, but they’ve gotta be better than chain grocery stores.

Hahaha I never made the connection that this was Clint Howard! It’s been a while since I’ve watched that movie.

Took a ride by a police station. Seemed like something do. Heard a voice saying what are you trying to prove.

I thought about it an hour. I thought about it a minute. I thought about it weeks on end. I couldn’t decide.

Is 20 enough? How tiny are your cats? I feel like 45 (a big weight lifting plate) might not be enough. Might need to screw the stand on a 36"*36" piece of plywood and put 20 on every corner. I guess it depends on the size and weight of your tree, though. 25 years ago we had a cat climb nearly to the top of a 10-12’ tree (seemed like 12, but maybe just seems like that now). Anyway, the cat didn’t just stay on the trunk and we had to make adjustments to prevent a tip. Think we switched stands to something more heavy duty.

Get it checked. I’m down to one, but alive.

It was his accent.
