This is the way. The more we ask and answer here the better for us all.

First seven characters are comments, for sorting the cards automatically if you drop them on the floor, obviously. Strictly 80 characters per line.

The coming weekend will tell us whether the edge is gone.

I made couple of bass tramps tuned to the room’s main resonant frequencies, which I measured. I followed instructions from the book.

I added sound absorber panels to the walls and ceiling to kill immediate reflections from the main speakers plus a sprinkling of additional panels to kill reflections and also act as decoration. I also needed to move one radiator because it was in the worst possible location for my setup.

The room got thick curtains to improve absorption, and they also darken the room as it is dual use music listening and home cinema room. A few defraction elements went into the ceiling for a good measure. The ceiling is made of custom panels that I made myself from wood and fabric to allow sound energy through to the various acoustic elements behind them.

I also spent a fair amount of time with subwoofer placement, but in the end it became a bit of a compromise between sound and placement of furniture. Nothing a bit of signal processing can’t deal with, mind.

I think there is another aspect that is important: limit the blast radius. Shit inevitably happens when you create something new and complex, and when it does, you’d rather minimise the impact where possible.

Now now, Boris got brexit done. It ended up being a complete pig’s ear, quite possibly from the same pig Cameron was acquainted with, but it did get done.

The rate at which Rich-i keeps showing his foot deep into his mouth makes me admire his dexterity and flexibility.

I should add, this is a great case study of a federated system responding to a difficulty. Let’s jointly make this a positive case study.

Thank you for taking action to help migrate the nascent community!

The government should in my view be investing much more to insulating houses, installing heat pumps, and installing solar panels with house batteries. These measures should be within reach of all households.

I’m deeply annoyed when somebody calls me on FaceTime. Go away! I can just about bring myself to answering a call from people in my contacts, sometimes. Or perhaps I’m just turning into a recluse.
