If I'm going too fast for them to react appropriately, that's on me. If the trail is too crowded for me to shift left and pass them safely, that's my problem, not theirs.

I'm generally considerate on trails, but gently caress the two people who were walking on both sides of the trail, each with a dog on a leash, each dog crossed on the opposite side, creating an X of leashes across the middle. They acted surprised when, shock, someone wanted to get by them.

You can also put one of those child bike noisemakers on if you commute on shared ped/bike paths a lot. It can be adjusted to not be super noisy but you still make a bit of a slappy buzzy noise and don’t need to ring the bell except for especially oblivious people.

It seems that he might have been ascending into the House via the shoe JUST as it was performing a walk maneuver, likely throwing him from the shoe and then... well, stepped on.

Sirens are fun. We're taught that a fire truck/emergency vehicle starts to "outrun" its siren at around 50mph. Obviously it's not actually outrunning the speed of sound, but other drivers need time to hear, process, and react to the siren, and if you're going fast enough, people won't have gotten further in the process than ignoring the distant siren.

In the U.S. in places willing to pay for it, the Q2B is still king and is pretty hard to ignore as it swings through a range of frequencies. With electric sirens, the higher frequencies are sometimes lost with newer more sound-proofed cars, and especially because drivers these days like to drive with headphones in like crazy people :psyduck:. Whelen came out with a "howler" which amplifies the sound down a few octaves. If you've been in a U.S. city lately you've probably heard it (sound at 4:20):

Newer electric sirens aren't as fun, but with the older units from the 80s you used to be able to get the selector dial in between any two settings to make entirely new sounds, and some people were virtuosos.

Nothing, but nothing is better to my ears and to the ability to quickly locate the source of sound than the electronic sirens with occasional bursts of pink noise

Prevents inhaling sand and developing silicosis. So yes. Protective pressure.

Used to do this for a living. Pretty satisfying but the heavy metal poisoning from constantly being exposed to powdered metal from the paint and rusty surfaces even with the pressurized suit is very osha

The left and right sides have an extra plank added, and the visual balance sucks. That width door should have two columns of panels.
