Somebody at a training asked if it's possible to howl at an LRAD and cancel out the sound waves.
The LRAD is putting out so much more energy than your howl that even if you hit the right frequency (already unlikely), it won't make a practical difference.

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.
