      No, outside of the environment.

      There’s nothing out there but birds, (poor)people and 1 gigawatt of infrasound.

      This is USica, it doesn’t matter where you’re pumping it, just that it’s out of where you’re pumping it from. Doesn’t really even matter what you’re pumping, USians gotta pump something.

        Don’t know if you’re trying an obscure reference to the shadoks, an absurd french tv cartoon from 1968

            I got the environment reference, just the pumping bit sounded more like a shadoks bit.

              Still worth a watch if you haven’t in a while. The way the interviewer cracks always gets me.
