This one still exists in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle. 

In the town I used to live in, they had a siren for the volunteer fire dept, it was run every day at 3pm for a test. I lived 3 miles from the siren, and you could hear it just fine (even inside.) Some quick math gives a area of more than 28 sq miles of coverage at the volume level I heard it at or greater I will say…

Because Chrysler museum?

There is one located right here:

Why is it odd? They were primarily there to call the volunteer firefighters in to the station. They needed to know they worked. Best way is to just do it once a day. Handy bonus, everyone in town knew when noon was without needing a clock.

They tested them every single day? That’s... odd.

We have a single test of the air raid sirens in SoCal once a month. You can hear them nearly 30 miles away.

Isn’t a Expy with a bed...a F150? Get one of those instead.

They’ll never notice!

She would take a long neck in each hand, flip one upside down, and then clink them together right at the bottom lip of the caps. 9/10 should would open both bottles at once, and was quick enough to not spill a drop.
She…

My go-to is to use a screwdriver to remove the metal strike plate from a door frame and use it like a traditional bottle opener.

Serious question: Who are the people who actually consume this stuff, by which I mean, who is the product-buying audience the brands believe these people can sell to? Are there really that many people addicted to these fake lifestyles?*

Took some practice, but I learned to use my wedding band. Built in bottle opener at all times

It’s for people who are too embarrassed to ride a moped in public.
