i can’t imagine it ever being illegal to lie. but in the US they’ll just fire you for any other reason.

am i to believe they can define either of those terms? 😂

I know it’s already an old thread but to add some context - here is a photo. The pov is from my front door. Looking at what as a firefighter i would call the “a-d” corner. the empty flagpole holder is my corner. the tarp area is the neighbors. the worn grassy brown spot is where they fix engines or work on lawn mowers or use tire machine/run an air compressor.

it also happens to be next to my bedroom and living room.

that’s simply it. no nimby stuff. just “yo full bore 2 stroke is loud even for daytime if the exhaust is at my bedroom window.

sigh. thanks anyway for your replies earlier.

auto plants and meat processing plants in the US were using child labor as recent as, iirc, two years ago.

war crimes against Japanese folk at home and abroad.

capitalism. this is just the owning classes playing games.

i mean i kinda mentioned all but “a” in my albeit long winded post.

a) I inherited it when my wife died. b) i have owned it for more than 20 years c) the neighbors moved in abt 2 years ago. d) they were friendly until i asked them to be considerate of the noise and pollution they are putting into my house. e) my house is not an investment. it’s my home.

how is that a problem?

Our town has daytime noise ordinances too - something iirc like 55db. Something if measured 3-6 feet from an exhaust would obv be too loud.

That’s the distance they are running them from my living room windows.

That’s what they doubled down on when I asked them to be considerate and maybe use the back yard or something for their engine repair.

Thanks for your kind reply!

thats simply it - I did ask. They doubled down. Told me no.

our town has noise ord for all hours of the day. normal nighttime levels and daytime levels. Maybe i was not articulate enough but for example if I hang a window ac unit in my window unit overhangs onto the next prop line. It’s tight. That’s the kind of alley. 2 stroke engines mere 4 feet from my living room windows for hours at a time mid day.

I can reach out of my window an touch the engines on their property. How is “not in my living room” equating to not in my back yard to you?

yep. the terms in the op are all thought terminating rhetoric and simply attacks.

which one is Einstein?

we already have laws for all those issues you mentioned but there is no profit in the way they are currently enforced. this bill will create massive profit opportunities and kill off a ton of the little guys; for fb etc it’s competition squishing essentially.

I worked in medical research not too long ago as an ETL guy using Netezza for holding data and making cohorts. I don’t envy having to also spin up / down compute based nodes these days. Good luck out there.

as a 46 yo I prefer dongers: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
