You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

These barriers and this caution tape were all already in place early (before sunrise) on Saturday morning btw. It was on my long run route. I may... hypothetically have simply ducked under the tape and proceeded anyway.

Like many people who have worked in politics for decades, I am baffled and upset to see candidates who say they are going to try to make things better defeating candidates who say they are trying to make it more or less like it was in the years before things tipped over into Oaf-Style Fascism.

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)
a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. he’s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like he’s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.

Well, Mac, I think that's probably because at 200 decibels, sound is no longer sound, but instead becomes a shock wave. So while you *could* have an emergency siren with a hypothetical volume of 194 decibels, the loudest possible sound in the atmosphere, it would be the *cause* of the emergency.
Amazon review by "Mac":

Decent for under 3 acres. Go professional for bigger land area.
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2026

They really need to start making these sirens with a simple charger and on off switch. Your basically gotta buy a car battery to operate this and it tops out at 121db, not 130. I measured the frequency. They make women's personal pocket Keychain alarms with 130db.
Why can't a huge weather warning siren hit at least 200db? More importantly, Why not an operator switch? Besides operation though it does produce a clean, crisp sound that emits enough to be clearly heard from 2 acres away. If you live on a normal middle class property or own a few acres, this is a good setup for your shed or barn. If you own real land this is worthless. Buy the professional sirens. Pay the money. Its worth it to warn yourself and your family in a real emergency.
