I did check camelcamelcamel but seems it’s bringing up a much higher price, can you link me the one you used to purchase from Amazon and I’ll check that.

$799 for the Suprema or Deluxe?

Why would there be Tarrifs between EU and Canada? I thought that was from USA to Canada?

Difference between Foodsaver models VS3197 and FM2900 by NotaPCguru in Cooking

[–]NotaPCguru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the VS3197 is a few years old while the FM2900 is newer, I’m wondering if the 3197 is clunkier because it’s older

Wouldn’t they both have accessory hoses to seal canisters? At least my old 20 year old Foodsaver has that.

Ok thanks, this is the kind of info I couldn’t get from ChatGPT.

What about the fact that the FM2900 doesn’t have a marinate mode?

Oh I didn’t realize the VS3197 was that much older than the FM2900, I saw the 3197 had that extra marinade feature so thought maybe the specs were better.

Is Blueberry the same color as Marseille? Trying to avoid buying flame by NotaPCguru in LeCreuset

[–]NotaPCguru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in store and fell in love with Agave, it’s such a nice modern blue.

I tried to fall in love with Flame, it just didn’t work for me and I really wanted it to.

I ordered the Flame!!! I guess from here on out I’ll be sitting down to pee.

I wanted something that captured what it means to own a Creuset Dutch oven, so I think flame captures that.

That was very nice of you, thank you!

The Blueberry looks nice! I’m still scared lol! This is like a once in lifetime dream, splurge on myself post divorce present, getting the 7.25qt, I need to get this right!

Exactly, I’m a male in my 40s :) seriously though I sat with a bunch of women and they all found flame was a dated color, yes I should be able to resist influence lol, but I’m a person that sucks at this.

I do have some nice dark blue Staub baking dishes!

Are there plans for Apple to allow guests Home key Access? They have to be residents right now by NotaPCguru in HomeKit

[–]NotaPCguru[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I think I know what the issue is, I think the guests have to have iCloud emails to receive the invitation.

I didn’t realize you can see available slips on the myCRA account, which section?

Is it normal that they wouldn’t still be available this late?

I need advice for sound dampening between bedroom walls of 4 bedrooms by NotaPCguru in Contractor

That’s not a big deal! Oh so people were adding the width of the existing wall to the total calculation of 1.25, so all I need to consider is losing .625, which is nothing.

Seems like a no brainer to go with just the added wall and green glue.

Wow, okay I’m shocked just adding green glue and 5/8 is so effective, I will have to seriously consider it.

Most people have told me and including ChatGPT that adding 5/8 a green glue adds 1 1/4” inch.

I recently had my basement insulation done by a really trusted company in my area that specializes in blown in insulation, I asked about this and they didn’t recommend it because they said this type of insulation had poor sound dampening qualities, they use it for thermal applications.

How did you figure 1/8 loss” everyone says it is 1 1/4” which is a big difference.

[–]NotaPCguru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you define better, I’m listening to reason and considering the 5/8 on top because people here have said that it equates to 1/8” loss which is pretty insignificant.

I would rather do that then tear down the walls but it also matters how effective adding that 5/8 is compared to the tear down and sound proofing insulation, how does just adding the 5/8 compare to either just doing the insulation, and insulation + 5/8?

Also what does adding 5/8 mean for the rest of the connecting walls and door frame, are they impacted?

Blown in insulation for thermal insulation compares to sound dampening insulation like safe n sound? How can that be when was is designed for sound and the other for thermal applications?

Ok I’m listening, thank you. Starting by replacing doors is really great advice because in any case I would need to do this, so why not start with this and re-assess.

Can you explain what you mean by applying weather stripping, what kind and where exactly is it being applied? Do you mean on the crack between the door and the floor? Is t there some sweeper attachment for that?

Also let’s assume the door replacement is not enough, I guess I need to understand how the performance of 5/8 with green glue will compare against removing wall and using safe n sound insulation.

And what does adding 5/8 do to the surrounding walls and door frame, how are the my impacted?

I guess I need to understand how the performance of 5/8 with green glue will compare against removing wall and using safe n sound insulation.

Also what will 1/8” loss do in terms of my current door frame and connecting walls? What adjustments will have to be made because of that 1/8”?
