            I initially thought it looked like he had done some serious self harm in the past and had scars. I thought that was some pretty dark background setting stuff though. But people who self-harm and have scars do eventually want to be able to wear clothes that don’t cover it up, if they work through the hiding it part. It just seemed like the kind of thing Willis wouldn’t throw on a side character though.

              For it to be pretty serious self-harm, that then assumes that Sayid is going so far out there to completely draw attention to it and show it off, as sleeveless hoodies are *extremely* difficult to find and not typical clothing worn in the winter.

              It also assumes that Sal is *so* completely insensitive that she assigns a name and identity to him that is very clearly related to self-harm and mental illness, rather than something more generic.

              … I’m pretty positive that these are just tattoos.

        It’s apparently the feature Sal has decided to recognize him by.

        To be fair, so would I, though I’m not sure if it’s for the same reason. And he takes it in stride, so I guess she’s not the only one.

          Yeah this. Room to room is pretty good, they don’t bother with the hallway so you get a lot of hallway bleed. It’s good… enough? Barely? Unless someone is particularly loud in a small room in which case you might as well be in the same room and it’s horrible. (Yes, this is an “ask me how I know” experience.)

        I once lived in a dormitory that had the opposite problem in a very weird way—thanks to a very poorly designed ventilation system, loud music from one dorm room could be heard *in the dorm room across the hall* through the overhead air ducts even though the dorm rooms were pretty well soundproofed from the hallway itself.

        Soundproofing is easy when the rooms are purpose-built. They’ll have double walls between them instead of a single stud wall. That will help keep noise from transferring through the wood. All the walls would get filled with mineral wool insulation and finished with two layers of drywall glued together with that green soundproofing adhesive. I can’t imagine much would get through that.

        The insides of the rooms would be acoustically treated too, with bass traps and wall coverings so you don’t get that hollow, metallic, “empty room” echo.

        The door and HVAC system are going to be your weak points. You need a heavy, solid door with a good seal and no window for best results. Even then, you’re separating two spaces by a single solid piece, which is what the rest of the design avoids.

      Accurate though. Direct room-connected-to-room sound dampening wasn’t bad but you had some severe hallway bleed. Well, at my school, anyway.

        At Oberlin College, this was a feature, not a bug. It was fun and creative-feeling to walk through the hallways and hear the world-class Conservatory students practicing all their various pieces.

    I mean sound proof rooms with a bunch of young adults whats the worst that can go wrong… I think the school made the right choice by not 100% soundproofing them.

      Still they would have to be almost entirely soundproof otherwise the sound would travel out one room and then into the other through the hallway. Plus if they are heavily booked and the rooms aren’t soundproof then surely anyone using the rooms would have heard other peoples music while walking past the other rooms.

      Also it’s a bit questionable that Sayid could identify which room the music was coming from unless he’s been walking around listening at the doors. Which would definitely make more sense than him being able to hear the music from all the way over there.

        but this way they can halt a rhythmic slapping of the flesh tambourine for those who don’t know they aren’t soundproofed.

    Hi folks,

    I’m asking since you folks know a lot about all things trans, hoping you can help…

    Know of any community resources for transgender children, especially BIPOC transgender children, in Missouri? Asking for a friend.

        That is so sweet of you, Joy!

        I’m not sure exactly how I would do that, as I’m not too tech savvy and I don’t want to put my email address out there on this page. (Too many stalkery gross/scary ads and tracker cookies follow me around from this website.) But I am grateful to you for thinking of me! I was able to help them connect with a few resources, like the Trevor Project, so I am thinking and hoping they will be OK. Knock on wood!!!

        Thank you again,

    Okay, can anyone clarify what those rooms are, their purpose and why it need to be booked?

    • StClair

      In theory, for practicing with a musical instrument.
      In practice (ahem), making out and/or having sex (when doing it in a dorm room or whatever is not an option).
      And they’re booked because they’re a finite resource. I would guess that supply is usually sufficient to meet demand, but because Sayid made a point of mentioning it just now, I suspect we’re about to see that Sal and Danny can’t simply keep using that room, because someone else has reserved it for the next block of time.

        “In practice (ahem), making out and/or having sex (when doing it in a dorm room or whatever is not an option).” the lack of sound insulation for the hallway might put some dents into this plan.

      Music rooms for practicing instruments/singing so you don’t annoy literally all your dormmates into hating you because musicians have to practice and often to get and stay good. My high school had three.

      And they’d have to be booked in advance because there is likely only a few but more than a few people learn an instrument or sing and you can’t have the same 5 people hogging the rooms for hours and hours each and every day without giving other people a chance.

    True that music rooms *in general* can have crappy isolation, but is this instance based on a particular condition at this university?

    And did it really happen to someone in particular that inspired this episode?

    Let’s hope this will not become a problem for the recording session. If I remember well, Sayid don’t like ukulele players. But probably he will not say that to Sal.

      His beef was with non-music majors using those rooms for a hobby while music majors (such as himself) were kept from practicing. Presumably with Sal actually using the room for her studies Danny would get a pass this time.

I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.
