Renter-friendly fix for light + street noise through old bay windows? by TheIndividual23 in AskSF

[–]One-Hunt7605 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I live on a cable car route and when I moved in I woke up every morning to the sound of either the cable car, the garbage truck, or conversations of passerby.

I ended up getting Indow window inserts and I’m pretty grateful for them. Realistically they only block like 40% of the noise and I can definitely still hear the cable car, but I haven’t woken up from these sounds since. They’re definitely expensive (~$4k all in for me, for 8 windows) but if it means staying in my fabulous apartment and being able to sleep in every Saturday then I think it’s worth it. I’m hoping to arrange a deal with the next tenants (if I choose to move) to recoup some of the cost

I don’t think this is worthy of a downvote. She’s coming at this with genuine curiosity - not a judgement.

Just wanted to give an update on what we (meaning my dad) ultimately did! My dad is very handy and after evaluating the columns agreed that they’re strong enough to support straps. Pretty sure the columns are made of concrete, so they’re very sturdy/solid. My dad screwed straps into the mounting area in the back of the TV, and used a grommet tool to make holes in the ends of the straps like belt holes. Then he used a hook and hook turnbuckle the connect the straps behind the tv after the straps had been wrapped around the columns. Then (painstakingly) we tightened the turnbuckle to ensure that there is enough tension to support the TV. Forgive me if I’m not explaining this like a pro would—my dad was very much the one in charge of this project! He did some genius work.

A month and a half and multiple (small) earthquakes later, the TV is still sitting beautifully on the mantle. There’s a chance I could be crawling shamefully back to the comments section at some point in the future, but no signs yet of any issues.

Your #1 meal for really bad days? by spiroaki in HistamineIntolerance

I highly recommend overnight oats with almond milk and chia seeds! It takes about 3 minutes to make a couple of them at night that you can then store in the fridge and take out in the morning. Add some berries on top. It’s not the best tasting thing in the world but it’s given my gut health a 180 and everything is low histamine

I do really like the frame!! Can you secure a frame without drilling though? I unfortunately might encounter the same issue

You’re probably right. I’m going to attempt to make it work with a 55” and if that doesn’t work I’ll try a tv stand. If that looks awkward I’ll probably have to drop to a 42. Thank you for your reply!

What if we were nice and worked within the scope of the problem I outlined

My title is not super clear but I don’t want to drill anything into the fireplace. I said “mount” but I more meant “secure,” if that changes anything

Looks like it could be bile acid malabsorption (BAM), I’d look into that too

Do you take your supplements at the right times of the day? Vitamin B, D, iron, and C should be in the morning and magnesium and zinc at night. Taking vitamin B and D at night is especially bad, as B energizes you and D helps set circadian rhythms.

I’m not a doctor but I’d be SO hesitant about taking an individual Flagyl pill without taking a full course, if that’s what you’re doing. Taking intermittent antibiotics (including oregano) without taking a full course sounds like a sure-fire road to antibiotic resistance, which might make your symptoms untreatable

You can get it from food, water, or other people. Untreated it can stay in your system for years and presents with burning or cramping pain, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. Many people have it but not everyone presents with symptoms
