In my part of Virginia, they have established noise laws. Seem pretty fair

ordinance defines daytime as 7 AM–10 PM on weekdays and 9 AM–10 PM on weekends and holidays, and nighttime as any time outside of daytime.

The ordinance limits noise levels to 60 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night in residential areas.

The law has a surprising amount of detail regarding things like vehicle noise, construction, etc.

I’m dumb. Any advice on how to get started with something like that? I’d appreciate product recommendations appropriate for a newb

I’m sure all the extremist conservatives and libertarians living in that area will be happy to get by on their own without any government support

Bootstraps!!

The Bear is very very good

I still haven’t recovered from a certain Season 2 episode

I recall the saying the Viet Nam fought the US for 10 years, France for 100 years and china for 1,000 years.

Makes sense they’d make up with us first

The US has been doing this too. For example, I recently drove through West Virginia and was surprised at how much wind power they had

You reminded me of this story from 2018 when the Trump team tried to put someone in charge of government weather data so that they could shutdown free public access, allowing private companies to use it and commercialize it

“ One particularly alarming thread explored in Lewis’s reporting follows the ongoing efforts of Barry Myers, the chief executive of AccuWeather and Trump’s pick to run the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to privatize the agency’s practice of collecting and analyzing data that helps generate weather warnings meant to keep all of us, and not just those who can pay for it, safe.”
