We bought this AllSun adapter . It was able to confirm some smaller dropline leaks, but it missed more than it found. It was completely useless at finding the larger leaks (mostly in saddles and 3/4" tees) that seem to be the bulk of our problem.

So I'm pushing him to try the hearing aid apps -- this one is expensive, but seems to have a good combination of EQ and pitch shifting that may make it possible for him.

    My father's in his mid 70s and his hearing isn't very good in the frequency range that would be useful for finding his vacuum leaks.

    I was thinking about setting him up with a directional microphone and a pitch-shifter app to bring environmental sounds down a couple octaves so he can hear them. There are tons of Android/iPhone apps that will pitch-shift in post, but none of the trial/freemium ones seem to work on a realtime monitor stream, especially on an external USB (UAC) microphone. I don't want to start buying dozens of apps just to try them.

    Any app suggestions or other ideas for him?

    Good question, and thanks for the link to 338. I'm in an ndp stronghold and happy with my mp.

    Would still switch if I needed to to avoid a split vote. I'm sure there are many others who feel the same.

    I would hate hate hate to vote strategically, but it's fpp and this feels like a time when it's necessary.

    It's time for me to re-evaluate my selection of ETFs, and it always drives me crazy looking up their MERs one by one. I really wish it was in the GOOGLEFINANCE sheet function.

    Is there any way to programatically get MERs? Like even a publically available spreadsheet with the most common ETFs would be better than nothing.

     

    I've been trying to minimize my US buying. Can't found a way to get my kids off the US broccoli yet, but this site has been useful helping me find Canadian alternatives to a lot of packaged shelf-stable products.

    I've seen a lot of made-in-USA products placed on the shelf upside down. That helps, please keep doing it!

    My question: which grocery stores in town are doing the best jobs of making it clear which foods are domestic?
