QUESTION!

How would you hang these acoustic panels without completely destroying the wall? They are made of felt and pretty thick (as shown in 2nd photo). The manufacturer suggested construction adhesive. Yeah, right. These puppies are coming with us when we move, and I HATE patching drywall.

Thanks in advance for any help!

https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b5005604185/ I used these when I use to rent. You might need a different size depending on the weight of the panels, but they removed cleanly when I'd redecorate.

Respectfully, it's bad enough being a blue kid in AZ. I would get strung up in MO.

Gah! Tell me about it.

Gah! Tell me about it.

1. Do you have water?
2. Are you near the Ozarks? If I'm moving somewhere water and terrain are "must-have" items. Can't do the flatlands

I have a natural curiosity and like to learn, so I know a lot of general things. The rest is 20+ years of knowing how to talk to google search in the right way to make her give up the goods.

Question: Can you elaborate on HOW to get Google to "give up the goods"?

I end up telling mine to just STFU

Inside? I know the outside ones are, but I didn't know if that one in the middle had a different name or not.

The ones on the outside are called side mirrors. The one in the middle of the windshield is the rearview mirror.

A lot of it is knowing what to ask and how to chain keywords to refine searches. The UI is a LOT smarter now than it used to be, but you get a lot more ai crap fed in. I'm still learning around that a bit so it slows my search time down making sure I have actual data.

For a simple example "Taken meme" vs "Taken meme set of skills gif" will give you different search results, and I knew I wanted something from that movie to start with as a search.

I'm a linux engineer by trade, so google chasing bugs and code is just part of my daily grind.

1. We have a very dependable well and are within 30 miles of the mighty Current River which actually scares me a bit.

2. I would say we are in the foothills of the Ozarks which is nice bc we live on a.ridge and do not have to worry about high water or roller coaster roads either. Surrounded by forest. Downside: ticks, hence, chickens.
