I'm looking for earbud recs that check two boxes:
comfortable enough for sleeping
Esp good at blocking out the kind of rumbling noise you get from trucks and obnoxious motorcycles.
I will never be using these to make phonecalls or listen to music, so I couldn't care less how good these are for that.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm dealing with a couple loud motorcycles and trucks that rip down my street obnoxiously early in the morning. Wondering what's the best solution to sound proof my bedroom against those lower more rumbly kind of noises?
My bedroom has 2 windows. I had already insulated and drywalled over the one window well that faces the street, which helped alot but not quite enough. There's also an eave storage area behind my bed under the sloping wall/roof which faces the street. I insulated that as well but it just hasn't been enough.
I don't care at all if the solution makes the bedroom look ridiculous, and I am fully willing to go nuclear to fix the problem b/c I can't afford to move anytime soon.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
I'm currently working thru a few introductory textbooks on my own: Lingua Latina, Ecce Romani 1&2, and Latin via Ovid. I'm using those 3 books along with "Essential Latin Vocabulary" by Mark Williams to build a solid flash card set (1500 cards made and counting!). It's all going pretty well. I'm finding doing all 3 textbooks at the same time especially helpful. The overlap and redundancy makes things sink in much better for me.
I should be done this stage in the next month or two. My question is where do I go next? I want to get as much intermediate reading under my belt as possible before I try tackling the Virgils and Ovids. I'll do Lingua Latina 2 ("Roma Aeternam"), of course, but what are some other 'training wheels' readings that aren't too daunting to build confidence? Would reading the Vulgate be a good intermediate text, for instance, considering I know the stories already and Biblical syntax tends to be more straightforward?
Any reading recs, as well as any other tips, on how you make the leap from introductory textbooks to reading the Greats, would be much appreciated. Thanks!
