Is she playing an FM radio? Perhaps you could get one of those fm transmitters and make her play something different, or at least change the station. If it's internet radio, pay off someone in IT to take care of that.
Once on one of the network news broadcast they tried to explain that something that weighed 25 tons was the same as 25 - 1 ton trucks. Umm that's capacity not what they actually weigh.I like watching them 'World's mightiest Bridges / factories / Aircraft / Building project" etc etc shows.
I've got an interest in how things are built, planned, stages of construction etc, tickles my nerd zones or something. These shows are 95% great until they do this stupid thing where any quantity or mass has to be described by doing some comparison to an apparent 'everyday item'. Trust me once you know to look for it, they all do it.
To explain better, when they're talking about something like the amount of paint that they need to paint the entire ship. They won't describe it as 1,700 liters they will say "The amount of paint needed would fill 2 backyard swimming pools"
"The steel required to build the main supports weigh as much as 85 full grown African Elephants"
"The entire wiring bundle inside the plane would be enough to stretch from Sao Paulo Brazil to Bombay India"
Just give us a measurement!!
Tell us how many tons a thing weighs or a unit of distance, we can work it out from that. Instead of using 'Primary school book' novelty comparisons which actually do the reverse of being helpful and through being so vague they DONT give us a solid idea of what the amount is.
