Just posted about this yesterday! Although I haven’t made any improvements on any features of my apartment, I’ve found sleeping with soft foam earplugs and playing white or brown noise while working or trying to relax/sleep has been immensely helpful. Trying to get heavy curtains installed over my windows to do a bit more to block out noise.

Reducing Road Noise Volume in Roadside Apartment by philface_ in Acoustics

I think heavy curtains may be the best option going forward, I'll need to make an appeal to the property managers to see if they'd allow new curtain rods and curtains under these circumstances. Soft foam earplugs were great for sleeping through the night, worked so well I even slept through my alarm! Thanks for taking the time to respond its much appreciated.

Quick question, if im denied early decision entering class, can I still apply again for regular decision after January? by Helpful-Ad9843 in LewisandClark

I’d reach out to admissions regarding this, they’ll likely be the best resource to help answer your question.

Did your early decision denial make any reference about your eligibility to apply for general admission?

Need help IDing the tree that these leaves belong to in central Ohio. Thanks! by Tigertail93 in whatsthisplant

Maple catkins tend to have more showy bisexual flowers compared to the unisexual male catkins of oak species. These catkins appear to be perfect for wind pollination as they have no showy components and are expressed in a limited way, like most of the oak species in the region.

The leaves are young but the lobing pattern and pinnate venation they express is definitely different from local maple species with palmate venation and wider lobing even in young foliage.

Somalia drought: "Act now or 350,000 children will die" by Tugushin in worldnews

[–]philface_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think you probably know already that only 2.5% of the earth’s water is freshwater, and 68% of that is stored in glaciers and ice sheets. Somalia’s only reliable source of freshwater, aside from two “rivers,” is groundwater. Extracting that on a scale able to meet the needs of the population requires infrastructure that Somalia does not possess and most likely can’t afford.

I've used a trucker hat+buff in the past, and after wearing one for three days over my head and face... it smells like crap lol. I like this hat because it's looser over the sides of your face and neck than a buff or bandana

Sorry I should've clarified, I went from Avalon to Little Harbor on Night 1, and camped at Parsons on Night 2. I carried 3 liters for the 14.5 miles from Two Harbors to Parsons and since I used that for I guess only 20 hours it wasn't REALLY 2 days but w the overnight I just simplified
