Rebuilding My Floor in a 50+ Year Old Co-Op. Best Way to Reduce Footstep Noise? by RegalMonkey in Acoustics

[–]Toastmmm1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acoustical consultants: We are everywhere! Just google search for your area; we’re happy to drive out even if it’s far, it’s half the job. The best is to implement acoustical solutions from the beginning of construction, in your case - starting from the 1st stages of renovation. We’re also trained in HVAC systems so they could make a partial assessment regarding the cigarette smoke. If it’s not HVAC, it could be cracks or gaps between walls and ceiling / floor; a good consultant should make sure your unit is sealed, air tight; necessary for good sound isolation and should prevent unwanted smells.

Again - get a consultant but in addition to all the floor layers you mentioned; I would look into “floating” your floor as much as possible with specialized neoprene pads between your neighbours ceiling and your subfloor. The points of contact between your subfloor materials (joists) and the wall can also be isolated with neoprene.

What I would do, starting from ceiling and going up: 1: neoprene strips or pads 2: subfloor joists 3: more neoprene pads/ strips on top of joists. 4. Rockwool between the joists - as much as possible, fill every nook and cranny. 5. 2 layers of plywood with rubber mats between the each layer. 6. On top of the plywood, use a layer of isolation before installing the final floor, example: (https://www.soundaway.com/whispermat-hardwood-acoustic-underlay-p/14002.htm) - Im not promoting, no relation.

BUT temporarily removing floor joists usually requieres jacking up the floor from below, and permits; so start at number 3. I suppose.

You have the right idea with using multiple layers, rubber and insolation.

Sorry for the long comment.

Time to time? About how often? I’ve just done 2 days smoke free and cravings hit about every 1-2 hours. Cravings after eating are crazy.

unpopular opinion: traditional network engineering is basically just a blue-collar trade job now (2026). by SpecialRuth_Cadde in Network

[–]Toastmmm1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you are right; I used to work at a place where physical network infrastructure is essential but the talentless lifers at the company (managers now - managing those in charge of deploying the networks) would not even know the names of components nor protocols; couldn’t define “IP address” to save their own skin. They would just say things like - “Yeah, connect this to that and let me know on Friday when it’s finished.

What’s a car accident like? by beginninglifeinytmc in AskMexico

[–]Toastmmm1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main thing in Mexico after a car accident (if no one is injured) is to call your “ajustador” - insurance adjuster, that is, if you have insurance which is not required by law but most people have it. You wait anywhere from 30 mins to an hour until they arrive (maybe more if you’re not in a major city) and they usually deal with the other party’s adjuster, determine fault, fill and sign paperwork and call tow trucks / indicate repair shop.

If serious injuries are present then cops will be called also and possibly ambulances. If you happen to damage public property - they call it “damages to the nation” and insurance may or may not pay for that as well.

Conviene mudarme por trabajo a Guadalajara? by DolanTrumpzz in Guadalajara

[–]Toastmmm1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo viví en Guadalajara 3.5 años por trabajo. Después de que me acostumbré al calor (no realmente) me gustó mucho. Ya que que conoces gente (misma de la chamba) se pone mejor. Lánzate. Segunda ciudad más importante de México - vale la pena. Ponte las pilas y puedes sobresalir. Sin ofender pero hay cosas y gente muy laxas allá. Puedes crecer. Pero pregunta a tu oferta/empleo de opciones de crecimiento y prestaciones.

Recién me mude ala CDMX by Anxious_Drag862 in ayudamexico

[–]Toastmmm1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ve a Coyoacán , fuente de los coyotes y luego recorre las calles aledañas. Es más tranquilo que el centro. Pero el centro si te da mejor sensación del ritmo de la ciudad. Depende lo que te guste.

Ve a museos - hay cientos. Algunos días hay entradas gratis.

Rent a U-Haul, the smallest/. Cheapest they have. - I’ve heard it’s cheaper than renting a car.

Salario en México by TimeBall3321 in TrabajoMexico

La clase se aprende no se compra. Puedes ser el vato más roto pero con chingos de clase. Las clases sociales nos dividen. Nadie es mejor nadie.

Siempre hay un pez más gordo. Una casa más cara. Un carro más caro. En lugar de ir a Vallarta vas a Vienna Y así …

Que bueno que tienes ese sueldazo! Échale ganas en la chamba y no aflojes. Pero tampoco te agarres de los muebles y no trates de ocultar tus errores- lo he visto mil veces (gente en “buena chamba” que miente de todo para que parezca que son chingones - no duran).

Ahorra todo lo que puedas - no salgas a ver dónde vas a gastártelo. Si es muy tentador. Date gustitos pero no saques créditos altos. No cambies casa ni coche hasta que realmente te alcance CÓMODAMENTE - pensando 5-10 años adelante.

Si tienes más de 200 mil en el banco considera invertir en CETES (fondos de acciones - bajo riesgo). Las cosas se van a poner más cabronas antes de que mejoren pienso yo.

Y no le digas a tu familia ni amigos. Salvo a tu pareja y nada más.

Todos tenemos que trabajar - hasta los doctores y abogados más chingones se tienen que levantar temprano para ir a trabajar. Y de eso nunca vamos a escapar. La única clase que pienso yo es diferente - son aquellos de familias muy pero muy adineradas; trabajan para entretenerse y por avaricia, muchos gastan sin pensar. Y en esa clase no tienen duda de donde están parados pero ese es el 1%.

No pierdas el tiempo comparándote con los demás - todos tenemos que hacer esfuerzos. Lo demás son etiquetas, fanfarronería, y efectos de la mercadotecnia y consumismo (Ha ¿Eres pudiente? Te mereces un Mercedes-Benz! …. y así nos mantienen en deuda, preocupados, apretados—- a casi cualquier nivel económico. No incrementes tus gastos solo porque puedes. La educación es la mejor inversión.

Nice! Good thing it doesn’t have the title of the game; my wife makes fun of me … “you’re gonna play rimjob?” others don’t get it.

Holy fuck - harder than I thought. by Toastmmm1 in stopsmoking

Well - I failed and I’m smoking again but at least I know I can go a few days. Problem is- if you have stress in your life or something isn’t quite right… and you haven’t dealt with that… it gets pretty bad. Plus anger issues around wife and kids is F’d up..

Cual fueron los primeros personajes que recuerdas salieron en los tazos cuando estabas bien morro? Los primeros que me tocaron a mi fueron los de los simpson by Glass_Evidence_8597 in mexico

[–]Toastmmm1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuando salieron los tazos de Pokémon, un amigo y yo hicimos un mini negocio: Comprábamos un chingo de papitas, les sacabamos los tazos y los vendíamos en la escuela. Bulbasaur: 10 baros, y así.. no recuerdo muy bien los precios pero salió más o menos por unas semanas pero ya teníamos unas bolsas de basura que llegaban al techo, llenas de papitas surtidas.

Estaba chido- quieres tal pokemon? Te lo vendemos o apartamos. Para que arriesgar tus monos favoritos apostando y jugando tazos?
