I live close to O'Hare International Airport[^] and under the center of three landing patterns, at any given time there are a dozen or more planes in the air, not this week. It hasn't been this quiet since 9/11, it's mighty eerie!

We're not so close to an airport; it must be truly amazing for those of you who are. A once in a lifetime opportunity to sell a house!!

I used to live near DFW and on a clear night could count as many as 14 airplanes all strung out on the same approach.

I can see 7 or 8 on the same approach, lesser on the other two. It is impressive to witness.

I read a report the other day saying seismologists are hearing earth tremors they've never been able to hear before. Humans are simply noisy and literally rattle the planet.

You can experience something similar under a power outage: The humming from the freezer and fridge stops, the hiss from the ventilation system, the fan in your home PC stops... You start hearing the creaking in the walls of your house, the dripping from that leaky faucet, the kids walking around upstairs. You may have some battery powered clock (with arms) that you never before knew were ticking.

If you ever do "power drills" - similar to fire drills, but switching off the main power switch for the entire weekend to learn how well you would cope under a long lasting power outage - you will have almost the same experience, although you would probably hear some "electrical noise" from your neighbors'.

That's not a bad idea.

In Friesland, aircraft are pretty rare, but now that they're ferrying coronavirus patients to within a few miles of my house by helicopter, it's too damned noisy.

The "visiting" patients are added to the tally where they come from, so my gemeente still only has 16.8 infected per 100,000 inhabitants (i.e. about half a dozen people).

I am sooo tempted to start an internet rumor that the COVID-19 vaccine causes autism and see how the anti-vaxxers handle the choice ... Laugh | :laugh:

If you're going to attack a group at least be accurate. And also wait for the soapbox to come back.

Maybe not all as a group (generalisms are always bad) but I know a couple... oh man. I would punch them when they start sh1t-talking. They are even worst that soapbox politics and climate change discussions... together Dead | X|
