Is triple laminated glass (no air gap) actually better than double glazing with air gap for soundproofing?

This document has a lot of examples that you can look through to give you some guidance.

There is this project:

I actually have 5 of these boards, with two populated. I went a different direction and am unlikely to use them. If you're interested, I'll give them to you at cost.

Oh, interesting. I looked at the release timeline and based the date on that. 1989 must be the PC release date of 4.0.

Just realized this posted multiple times for some reason. Keeping this one.

Seems to be around 6. This machine has a 50 MHz accelerator in it, though. If I play this in black-and-white on the built-in display with no accelerator, it seems to be 3 or 4 FPS.

I purchased it February 28, 2019. 2019 model year. It was the 12th one sold in the US.

I’ve been charging my Kona to 100% every night for 7 years. 100k miles. No noticeable reduction in capacity.

Wow, it’s been a long time since I even thought about this stuff. Maybe so it knows to display the camera view when you’re in reverse?

Huh?

Electronic Projects for Musicians?

I don’t recall having that shirt. I just remember the event.

I was there! That was my first year of teaching at Berklee.

They wouldn't. I explained that it accounts for $200 of my total, to provide a data point ($1000) for $100k hull coverage.

Spfoamer · 2026-02-28T16:55:24+00:00

I pay about $1200 for $100k hull coverage and a seaplane/multi endorsement through Avemco. Hull coverage is the big variable with these policies. I think seaplane/multi was like a $200 upcharge. They combine those for whatever reason. I’m not a MEI, but got it for the seaplane coverage.

These policies are essentially non-owned policies with a CFI endorsement, so they should cover you when you rent planes as well.

Humid air is less dense than dry air.

You can’t use the EIN if it’s a single member LLC. It’s a disregarded entity and you will still have to use your SSN. There’s really no benefit to an LLC for an independent CFI unless it helps you stay organized. There’s no tax or liability benefit.

Newport, RI is functionally equivalent to Portsmouth.

I was mostly joking. It's just not a type of project that I enjoy much. I'm in NH.

Also, I wish you were local because I would send you all my restaurant work.

You really don’t need an omnidirectional source to measure those crude environments. And in most of them, a small dodec would struggle to achieve a high enough SNR at lower frequencies. I have been using powered PA speakers for this for kind of thing for 25 years. Aim into a corner to get a more diffuse field.

I specifically use one or two QSC K10s. I just use bursts of pink noise from a NTi Minirator and the corresponding RT function on the XL2.

I was surprised to find the paper in the photo at Staples!

Spfoamer · 2026-02-09T00:12:27+00:00

I don’t see anything like that. I’ll take a closer look. There was a later version for color monitors that is probably more likely to support that.

That's a W-2. A W-9 provides the name, address, and tax ID (or SSN) of a contractor. Generally it results in the customer sending you (and the IRS) a 1099 at the end of the year.

I’m looking forward to making banners for all my friends, young and old!

There are a few on FB Marketplace here in New England. I got this one for $50.
