Sounds like an annoyatron or a clone. A tiny device that randomly beeps with a time interval just long enough to be hard to find and annoying. They’ve been around for a couple decades.
The good ones don’t even use the same time interval each time. They’re all over a minute or two, but sometimes like 5 or 6 minutes. They’re truly diabolical.
Once upon a time I wired up a tiny little audio mux and attached it to my boss’s speakers, along with a bluetooth receiver. I was able to use my phone to inject random Mario sound effects into his music stream all day.
He was convinced he had a virus so he unplugged his audio from the computer, and to his surprise the speakers kept playing sounds sporadically.
It was primarily settled as a farming community at the confluence of two rivers to support nearby gold mines. Prior to that native Americans had a fair amount of canal works to provide irrigation to agriculture in the region. At the time it would have been seen as good fertile land, free from rocks and boulders that was beyond the frost line prime for agriculture if they brought fresh water from the nearby rivers.
Might also be worth noting that Arizona had a population of around 6k American settlers in 1860. About 160 years later, we’re trying to cram in over 7M at a growth rate of around 20-30% per decade.
It’s a big state, and its not all desert. But we may have passed the tipping point on sustainability about 6M people ago.
Although sweating is found in a wide variety of mammals,[6][7] relatively few (apart from humans, horses, some primates and some bovidae) produce sweat in order to cool down.
Persistence hunting, also known as endurance hunting or long-distance hunting, is a variant of pursuit predation in which a predator will bring down a prey item via indirect means, such as exhaustion, heat illness or injury.[1][2] Hunters of this type will typically display adaptions for distance running, such as longer legs,[3] temperature regulation,[4] and specialized cardiovascular systems.[5]
Humans are some of the best long distance runners in the animal kingdom;[6] some hunter gatherer tribes practice this form of hunting into the modern era.
That’s being done by humans for amusement. It’d kill most animals. Not saying that it’s comfortable, but we can deal pretty well with an awful lot of heat if we have to.
If you want to talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk. But if you can do the walk, hey…might as well strut it.
If you’re interested…that’s a sprint. Also in Death Valley, there’s the Badwater Ultramarathon:
The Badwater Ultramarathon is a 135-mile (217 km) ultramarathon race starting at −282 feet (−86 m)[1] below sea level in the Badwater Basin, in California’s Death Valley, and ending at an elevation of 8,360 feet (2,550 m) at Whitney Portal, the trailhead to Mount Whitney. It takes place annually in mid-July when the weather conditions are most extreme and temperatures can reach 130 °F (54 °C).

I am so sick of this shit.
I hope that the suspect “stumbled and fell on his face” a lot while in custody.
And to all news media… Please do not print, post or broadcast the suspect’s name. Do not give them the hard-on they are looking for by having their name in the news.
