Ratjaculation posted:Although seeming fine with having not seen me in months and happy with leaving Christmas, my mum rang me quite upset that despite being high risk she can't get the vaccine due to allergies, so she's worried we can't meet for ages still and now she wants me to go visit on Christmas day The roads were fairly dead this morning. Every supermarket had a queue outside. The motorways had signs letting you know that all routes to France were closed.

I'm feeling a bit better about not visiting mum after reading the posts from people in a similar situation. Also been speaking to a mate, his mum is proper hosed & he cant see her either. It's gonna suck but time for that british 'stiff upper lip' bullshit I think.

Mojo Jojo posted:I did this today. We met halfway to exchange presents (loading them into boots) and walk in the countryside. My mum only cried when it was time to go so a strong improvement. That's a nice way to spend some time together, though I hope it wasn't as wet where you are as here though for that walk It's a minimum 3-hour drive to Bristol for my mum, so that's 6 hours, she has COPD and is high risk and the idea of her going into services or something is terrifying. Plus I think she just wants to see Looke

I've just been watching Boris on the news & can't help but lol.. I know covid is making things worse but gently caress! we've only had 4 years! brexit has not even really started yet & things are falling apart already. That & the train exodus from london, I think things might be getting a tad serious.. Feeling smug about the 'told you so' thing is not as satisfying as I'd thought.

I did some work building soundproof booths for There are decoupling fixings with multiple layers of industrial rubber and the like for this purpose, but the short of it is that there’s a fair bit of experimentation needed. Plus pulling things like carpets up and ripping wooden panels apart to try. Bobby have you had anyone do anything measurement or analysis wise? You can do some basics with a free RTA app on an iOS device, where the mics are at least consistent. Relative data would be fine, even mostly anecdotal like “the app has a big mountain at 75Hz when the little brat gets upset that daddy and mummy aren’t friends any more” or “the wife’s weekly screams of fear are loudest when you’re near the stairs” would be a big step in the right direction.

i think id be ok with stair stomping and door slamming noise, what bothers me more is the idea of us not being able to relax because the volume we can hear them talking, im pretty sure any kind of outside voice and they can hear what we are saying initially id like the living room wall done and then if it works maybe get them to quote for the stairs, hallway etc it doesnt have to be 100%, just as long as we cant hear what the other is saying
