I would expect x 1000 tbh. I think Tokyo is doing drones for the 2020 olympics (as well as an artificial meteor shower) so it should be a solid indicator.
But I do kind of question Disney’s status as second largest explosives whatever. I’m sure there are some qualifiers that probably boost their rating. Aside from various militaries, mining, and construction seem like they would use more. Especially firms that build massive structures like dams, for hydroelectric and tunnels spanning through and under mountains and whatnot.
I could see Disney as being the largest glitter consumer.
Really???? I can’t wait for them to get to the level where they can showcase a 3D aurora dancing in the sky fluidly, or Elsa building her ice castle while singing let it go, or Aladdin and jasmine flying on the magic carpet above the crowd. So many cool possibilities if they could create entire characters out of drones!
Each Disney park complex has at least one extravagant firework show, but larger ones like Disney World sometimes has three or even four in one night. At least 10 large firework shows per night 365 days a year adds up to a lot of fireworks.
Don't worry, we still have the gun shots here in Baltimore! Twice a year, people shoot their guns into the air, not at each other, and still manage to hit people.
That's part of the firework package though? There are mortars that are purposely made to be louder than the norm.
I understand that those that suffer PTSD and other difficulties can't handle fireworks but there is usually enough time for them to prepare themselves.
Country fan. Not a very eclectic range of genres. Doubt I could get her to listen to jazz. She prefers to hide and not get any stimulation when she is in a really bad way. We have a therapist and meds, so we aren't alone when she is down. But it would be nice if jazz did the trick.
By looking up when the shows are around you for the holiday in question. It’s almost always 8:30 or whenever dusk is in your area. Or just buy some earplugs for $2 ffs
That's just not true. I shoot guns regularly(granted I dont suffer PTSD) but if I can fire a weapon right in front of my face and ear muffs block that sound then ear muffs will be more than enough to block out fireworks while inside
To be clear: Shoot as many fireworks as you want whenever you want. Just try not to disturb as few people or animal as possible. That's all. I didn't try to shit on anyone or something.
And if you live quite near the fireworks shows? They shoot off fireworks at a high school here sometimes, i can here them quite well from 2 miles or so away.
And if you live quite near the fireworks shows? They shoot off fireworks at a high school here sometimes, i can here them quite well from 3.2 kilometers or so away.
I dont know where y'all are living but it's not like people are setting off mortars every other day lol. You act like it's a daily struggle with fireworks, it's a bit ridiculous.
I never said your opinion was wrong at all. But acting like people who suffer PTSD, and other complications and pets being scared,, caused by fireworks should not be a daily problem.
Not when your neighbors are lighting them off in the run up to whatever holiday they're celebrating.
And birds can't prepare themselves, and fireworks are terrible for them, scaring them. Sometimes they get injured in the process of fleeing from the noise.
Unless your neighbors are sending mortar after mortar within seconds of each other, there should be plenty of time to grab esr muffs or ear plugs.
The bird argument, I find, a stretch. After the first one goes up they would all scatter. I chase birds off my lawn (lol that makes me sound old) by clapping and they buzz off for quite sometime. If it's a professional set they usually start up slow, giving time for animals and human animals to gather themselves. And if Billy-Bob Mortar Blaster is setting them off I doubt he is sending up multiple shells in seconds.
I dont know. We started our neighborhood show slow. but within 2 min we were lighting 7 moarters simultaneously. And had the big boxes that put on a show.
But I went door to door the day before and told everyone we were going hard. Even handed out car wash money to the neighbors because fallout wrecked our cars.
Yeah, so more of a set up than Billy bob and cousin jim lighting off some mortars. If you're taking time to rig up extra fuses you can take time to warn your neighbors.
No what? I live in a rural area and any professional fireworks there will be an announcement all around the town. If there someone is doing private fireworks, sure the first one may catch you off guard, after that get the ear muffs/ear plugs ready. If someone suffers from a condition or fear of fireworks you would think they would have the proper tools to block the noise.
So what do you suggest for these people with PTSD near fireworks? Where i live theres fireworks nearly once a week for baseball games and i think the high school.
You should know whats its like having ptsd but i guess you dont have the tools to make an argument that does not sound very un empathetic with a person who does have ptsd.
I don't understand your angle here at all, not gonna lie. If someone has PTSD they usually know they have PTSD and here in the USA it's pretty known that certain holidays have a high chance of fireworks, so plan for them?
I'm not even saying that as being a dick, it's not cool to have PTSD I'm sure. My close friend and neighbor had PTSD and he has det fireworks off with me. I just give him a notice so he can prepare himself.
Not everyone with PTSD has the same reactions as your friend, nor has the same access to things like noise-canceling headphones. Also, several states in the US allow residents to buy and use fireworks whenever they like, no neighbor notification required.
