Re the Gear Up Sonic Animal Deterrent (Kangaroo Whistle)


"I bought some of them there "Anee-mal Wissuls" to scare the bejesus of the hoppy critters.... and taint saying nuthin on the packit.."


(pictures coming)

The exact same whistles are brought out under a heap of brand names, for different retailers.... Like Lion Brand, and   (more coming)


Since I have a brain between my ears - and I hate piss poor "anything" - add in advertising, specification sheets, etc., etc., etc...

I asked the wholesalers / distributors some clever questions.


webenquiries@gpcasiapac.com

In a clear air stream,what is the necessary air velocity to make them begin to work in meters per second?

What is the frequency they whistle at?

What is the sound pressure level in decibels at 1 meter, 10 meters and 100 meters and 500 meters?

What is their effective range and under what conditions?

And can you send me a copy of the results that assert that they have proven to be effective at deterring animals?

And exactly what is your definition of "deterring"?

Dear BAC

This is what I could source for you.

In a clear air stream,what is the necessary air velocity to make them begin to work in meters per second?
Product testing results are not available to the general public.

What is the frequency they whistle at?
The devices operate at a frequency range within that which has been observed to be the hearing range for captive Eastern Grey and Red kangaroos.


What is the sound pressure level in decibels at 1 meter, 10 meters and 100 meters and 500 meters?
Product testing results are not available to the general public.


What is their effective range and under what conditions?
Effective range will vary depending on a number of factors - If the device has been correctly mounted and the position/height of the device on the vehicle, the condition of the device (Is it fully intact and free from blockage or debris), weather conditions (temperature, wind direction, wind speed, relative humidity, presence of rain), terrain (road surface type - asphalt including specific asphalt type, gravel, concrete) , background noise (associated with wind), and vehicle velocity etc


And can you send me a copy of the results that assert that they have proven to be effective at deterring animals?
Copies of internal product testing are not available to the general public.


And exactly what is your definition of "deterring"?
To discourage from acting or proceeding.

Thanks,
Ben

Well to go into deeper analysis - my questions were good, for a single spit out event, but in hind sight, I think they could have been better.

No matter.

The thing I dislike more than "a shit job" is "a shit bullshit artist".

And the response is just dumb fucking bullshit, from a dumb fucking bullshit artist.

Obama - is TOTALLY full of shit.

https://www.rt.com/usa/328707-obama-state-union-address/ US is 'most durable economy in the world' Obama in his last State Of The Union address. Published time: 13 Jan, 2016 02:30 President Barack Obama said his State of the Union address on Tuesday that America has “the strongest, most durable economy in the world” and called statements of economic decline "fiction." President Barack Obama’s last State of the Union address on Capitol Hill focused on the economy, technology, keeping America safe “without becoming the world’s policeman,” and how to make the country’s politics “the best in us, and not what’s worst.” President Obama said he wanted to talk about the next five years, ten years and beyond, “I want to focus on our future.” The first part of Obama speech referenced his administration’s achievement, unemployment cut in half, nearly 900,000 new jobs in the past six years, a strong economy.  Obama said anyone claiming America’s economy is in decline “i

HSBC Bank Australia Limited - a bunch of fucking arseholes.

My Review of HSBC in Australia: Firstly - to make this whole article easier to digest... The first bit is me basically being insane - "This is a BAD place to be doing business with". The second bit is about the management of HSBC being an outright pack of cunts, involved in laundering squillions of cocaine $$$$$ from Mexico via Australia, and back to the USA.... If you find my being off my dial with insane frustration to be a bit hard to chew, just scroll down to the ~~~~~~~~~~ separator, to get to the NASTY Corporate Crap. OK now into my grizzle.... "HSBC - I want to find out why, payments into my account, as well as payements from my account take 2 days longer than other banks, and take 3 days to show up on my account - respectively. Call the head office, ask to be put through to some one in Australia, who was born here and speaks english, and they put me through to a foreign call centre, with some twat who wants to ask me all these questions, so that he can put it i

Lenovo and IBM - the Great Motherboard Replacement Scam

Image
I have one of the Lenovo G570 Laptops. And this is really BAD. The first one is that the management of Lenovo have done a deal with Microsoft to install an Operating System on the hard drive, and they claim that allocating a "special area" of the hard drive for recovery purposes, is a solution in case of "some kind of OS / Hard Drive problem - but they do not give you a copy of the OS on a DVD, to reinstall it, in case the OS crashed or a new HDD was needed etc.... This means that IF your operating system corrupts, your going to be facing a HUGE and BAD uphill battle to get a copy of YOUR operating system from Lenovo. No doing on the spot brain surgery on your own lap top by reinstalling the OS... No. This comes down to you not getting a 20c DVD with your operating system on it, Vs. hours fighting with idiots on the phone and days and or weeks waiting around for the DVD to arrive - if ever. With the amount of down time a non working laptop can cost you in losses, you may
