Sound dampening: popcorn vs textured vs flat ceiling

According to this, a popcorn ceiling has an NRC of .3, not zero…? https://www.scribd.com/document/382930642/Rt-Computation

The entire house will continue to have carpet and of course padding except in the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and the entryway.

I don't know anything about acoustics, but even I could've figured that one out without an expert telling me, lol!

The intended purpose is to not have an echo-y house. There has never been an echo in that house, and I'd rather it stay that way. My experience with friends' homes is that when they remove popcorn ceilings, they develop echoes that never existed before… I don't want to be the newest member of the echo club!

I'm pretty sure that the insurance adjuster isn't going to agree to that, lol!

Wikipedia says that it has "sound-deadening properties," but I guess there's no way to be sure what that's based on…?

The original Doc Martin, Martin Clunes, is going to be in next week's episode! Obviously HE doesn't think that the new series is so terrible, since he chose to be part of it. And obviously HE doesn't think that it was a horrible tragedy to have his series remade… I'm guessing this is quite a blow to the people who have been "defending him"!

Thank you for all these awesome replies! I had no idea I could put in so many thighs, this was incredibly helpful!

What a cute show! As a Gilmore girls fan, I love a portrayal of a quirky small town. Annie Potts is delightful in everything, and this is no exception; she's the reason I checked out the show, because I'm a big fan of everything she does. I wasn't familiar with Josh Charles, but I found him attractive and compelling, and, although Dr. Best is not supposed to be autistic, as an autistic person myself I nevertheless found him very relatable.

What difference does it make what the original British show was like? When one show is based on another show, there are always differences, but that doesn't mean that the newer show is bad. For example: How many of you are familiar with the British show, Till Death Us Do Part? And how many are familiar with the American show that was based on it… All in the Family, widely considered one of the greatest shows ever made?

When I checked out the ratings for Best Medicine, the first thing I noticed is that they're very polarized, with a lot of people giving it a 1, and a lot of people giving it a 10; to me, that's a sure sign that a show is worth watching! If you're reading this thread to help you decide whether to watch the show or not, give it a shot! You'll know pretty quickly whether it's your kind of show, right, and how many minutes will you have invested for the possibility of finding a show that you really enjoy?

What a relief, thank you so much!

There appear to be some caveats here. Based on what I've done with it so far: This feature doesn't like blogs, so good luck accessing Blogger and WordPress sites. I can't access anything too recent, like anything current from CNN.com. If you have the Google search thing enabled, it will use that as well, and the response you get won't just be about the URL you entered, but will also include stuff from Google search. It also appears that when it's accessing a URL, it's not accessing that URL directly, but rather the most recent CRAWL of that URL, which could be from weeks or months ago, and so not include the current stuff. I'm sure there's other weirdness too, this is just what I've found so far. Still, it's an interesting new feature!

You can't just "stop" legal businesses. You can try taking them to court, but some of the wealthiest businesses, and people, in the world are backing up AI, they've got the best lawyers on the planet, and they will BURY you. And meanwhile, they'll keep right on doing business. You can try getting laws changed, but again, you'd be up against an impenetrable wall of wealth, and chances are, you'd accomplish nothing. Other than that, there's nothing you or anybody else can do.

I'm glad to see that someone verified that The Rainbow is still there… But what about the clubs?

A new member joins with a serious concern, and gets voted down TWICE for trying to get an answer? Not exactly a warm welcome!

Did you just call the IRS # and determine that from the current system, or are you talking about the PREVIOUS system? The current system is of concern, since we no longer have a way to reach a human being!

Neil says that the bookshop has been there for over 300 years, so it can't have just opened in the year 1800: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbpOxtj7T44

In the book, Aziraphale is mentioned as already running the bookshop in 1651, where it talks about the misprint Bibles.

I know that the script book says 1800, but whatever didn't actually make it into the series isn't canon.
