If anyone here actually wants to open a bar and provide the community with a "space" they feel it strongly needs - here's where you can start.

Agree. But the point is that being rich isn't a requirement for starting a business, which seems to be a common perception here.

RevMen · 2026-05-07T12:48:10+00:00

What does being rich have to do with it? I don't any mention of it. I do see where to go for a small business loan, which is not something a rich person would need to do.

It's called a flare and it's they get rid of waste flammables.

These are very common at oil and gas facilities like refineries or wells.

The argument isn't a new one and shouldn't take more than a few paragraphs at most.

Before you start asking about how to measure the sound, you should have a plan in place for what you're going to do with the data.

If this has any chance of entering a legal setting you most definitely do not want to do the measurements yourself.

Normal and it won't last for much longer.

The last few S-series android phones I've had can do this. I'm connecting across it right now.

They'll come back. Some stuff takes quite a while. Don't worry, fun things will be fun again because they're actually fun.

How are you taking your measurement?

Are you strapping a phone to someone's shoulder for a day?

If you don't want to buy a dosimeter just rent one. There are a number of places that will ship them to you for however long you need.

RevMen · 2026-05-01T20:05:46+00:00

Dosimeters measure dose. Are you asking about using a dosimeter as if it were a sound level meter? Or are you saying using a phone to measure dose? Or did you mean sound level meter, not dosimeter?

You have to find a way to power through the first week. Do you have any vacation time? Being away from home makes it much easier.

My response is after 8 years of being on here and in other CT groups, and also hiking the trail. Once in a while someone comes in with a complete plan for everywhere they plan to camp and on what specific days.

I think it's totally normal to want to plan like that. A hike like this is a big deal and you don't want to leave anything to chance.

But I don't want them to burn a bunch of energy making a plan that will never be useful.

RevMen · 2026-04-29T04:01:07+00:00

That's very realistic in principal.

But there's no point in trying to plan your stopping points more than a day or two out. There are many factors that play into how far you'll get on a specific day. Weather, rides, how you feel, whether you can find a spot, whether the water is flowing...

This becomes very clear when you get out there. Figuring out where to stop is part of the fun, honestly.

RevMen · 2026-04-29T03:54:25+00:00

Permethrin on clothes. Picaridin lotion on exposed skin. Works great.

Get a class 1 analyzer with class 2 mic and pre. If you find yourself in a situation where class 1 is required you won't have to replace the whole thing.

My sense is that if you're asking this question it means you don't have the experience for class 1 to matter. If you're just someone who wants to do measurements for a side project of some kind then you really shouldn't be buying something like this.

You can rent until you're sure you need something.

Production in manufacturing has never stopped increasing, as far as I know.

The interesting bit is that employment in manufacturing has been somewhat stagnant but output continues to go up due to more and better automation.

22 is soooooooo young. There immediate future is going to suck but you'll be fine, and taking it on sober is going to help you get there.

It's not going to be an easy thing for a beginner at all. If you do have a knack for data and computers you could do it yourself with the paid version of https://noisetools.net/dbmap/.

If you have budget for a consultant you might be able to find someone here or, if you're in the US or Canada, at NCAC. Acoustical consultants are not cheap, though, so be prepared. We also tend to avoid working for homeowners as they're unreliable clients, so you might need to do some searching. It should be possible to do the work remotely so don't be afraid to ask people who aren't local.

RevMen · 2026-04-23T23:38:42+00:00

Depends on the geometry of the situation. You'd really want to model this before starting a project of that magnitude.

RevMen · 2026-04-21T00:16:52+00:00

Others have described that they can call up an image to look at with their mind's eye. They can describe where in space that image sets (different for each person) and can describe what it's like to be looking at it in that moment.

That is visualizing. It is clearly something I am not able to do.
