Who else is going to listen it, other than humans?

Why would people hang bags of s*it on tree branches? Decoration?

Often they drop (or hang) the bag with the intention to pick them up on the way back while hiking, rather than carry them the entire hike. Quite often, they forget on the way back.

While they did that with the kids, they never did that with any of the dogs except those used for fox hunting.

Even the now dead queen had lots of corgis running around the house and used to take them with her when she changed houses seasonally.

I quoted FLAC, 100% no loss of quality compressed audio. The issue that the only audio that CANNOT be compressed is full volume white noise, but unless you are a fan of Stockhausen that ain't music.

Lossless compression looks for periods of low information rate and packs them in shorter times spans, so that only e,g, the cymbal clash or audience applauses is left uncompressed. Periods of silence with just audience breathing and the odd cough can be sent in way fewer data packets.

No, they are surburbanites and townies and they carry bags and scoops for their doggies poo. Because in towns and parks there are little bins to put it on. In the country there are not and they get fed up with carrying it so they hang it on branches as a protest against Socialism making them collect it in the first place and then not providing a bin for it.

Do you not open your eyes when walking?

Well there's not much point in life without sex.

The William Creek Cat Tree is about the only tourist attraction William Creek has to offer. I believe it even had a cameo in the film 'Last Cab to Darwin'.

I do laugh at you silly yanks. Two lots of 120V in series, WTF are you doing man? In the UK, lose the neutral and you get zero. In the UK, we have less connections. You can't mix up which live is which. You don't have to find the right socket for the appliance, everything is 13A 240V 3.2kW. We can also use thinner wires. What are your vacuum cleaner flexes like?

The manufacturer will have done that.

I doubt turning it on would break anything.

No, it just requires you to get on with your neighbours. Your answer speaks volumes about you.

Because despite all having guns, you're rubbish at using them and can't get rid of the bears?

The National Forests and Bureau of Land Management lands dwarf the national parks. Theoretically you can't live there but there are a lot of square miles and not many nosy rangers.

Why the hell would I want to get rid of bears? Or cougars? Or wolves?

All that appears to be legal bullshit and popularity, and nothing to do with quality.

Not enough information in there.

It would be a bit like the Roman foot.
