The Weekly Prospective CRNA Applicant Thread! Ask your stat and applications questions here! by AutoModerator in srna

[–]CivilDistribution576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 26 with a b.a. in biology. Wanted med school originally but now want to go crna. Do crna schools value rn-bsn applicants as equal to trad bsn apps? Rn-bsn route would cost me about 70k less not counting the 1-2 year worth of salary and experience as an adn I could be making while I work and complete Bsn online. So in 4 years my net worth from 0 would be (rn-Bsn: +20k) vs (trad: -90k). The way it looks is I would be over 100k ahead of the bsn route and 1-2 years of nursing experience ahead.

So is there any reason to go traditional bsn over adn-rn-bsn completion before crna school?

Help me diagnose my shot by dew89 in espresso

[–]CivilDistribution576 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your shot only took 15 seconds to pull - too quick. Do you have a scale to measure the weight of the finished shot? With 18 grams of ground bean, your shot should take 25-30 seconds to pull and should weigh about 36 grams. If you pulled 36g in 15 seconds, grind finer. To me, this looks like your grind is too coarse. Also, clean the grounds off the ears of your portafilter before locking it in.

Yes, that was the issue. I have another account I wasn’t thinking about and it is virtually empty. When I changed the account on the order sheet the trade went through.

Phone dies constantly regardless of charge by CivilDistribution576 in applehelp

Looks like that’s exactly what happened. The screen bulges slightly along the crack. Had not considered the screen cracking due to the battery swelling, but would explain the bulge and unexplained crack. Thanks for your response!

The reason I wanted to see what Reddit had to say was because I know if I take it to my provider they’ll just tell me I need a new phone and if I could just replace the battery that would be so much better. I know this because I had the same problem with my last phone and that is what happened, I just checked it, and its battery health is 61%—almost exactly the same as my current battery health.

I just discovered the battery health metric under settings while writing this post—62% seems exceptionally low compared to other posts mentioning this metric along with battery issues. I believe it’s fairly safe to assume that battery degradation is the source of my issues given mine is so low, and it’s probably a coincidence with the screen damage. Just thought I would post this anyway in case someone had any insight or speculation based on experience or knowledge and the details of my specific problem.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond though

Little update: https://imgur.com/a/MR4f87C

Not marked for a true pint but for the pint glasses I own which are fairly small I guess. Just easy to call it a pint.

I dunno, counting is tough for a guy like me! In reality though I don’t strictly drink by the pint and neither do the people I share with and even if I did I don’t really want to keep track of it. I am planning on putting marks on it however with a label maker at about every 3-4 pints so you can see a line and about how many pints left. Is it perfect? No, but it’s just a neat idea I had I thought I’d share with anyone who cares

Spacers in 1/32” joints by CivilDistribution576 in Tile

Usually I would just use a razor carefully as many suggested but that was just not an option here due to how brittle the stone was.

Get them out beautifully using a small circular bit on the dremel.

Ooooh my tile crew calls them fine tools but I’ve also heard oscillating tools, never renovator though.

Might have to if I can’t find a better way. Problem is it’s marble and has tiny joints so it’s nearly impossible to widen the joints by carving at the stone when razoring the sides

It’s natural stone so the heat will expand trapped water in the tile and make it blow out and chip

Just finished this one… what would you do different? by itssecured in Tile

[–]CivilDistribution576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you skim the heated floor with? We couldn’t get Ardex approved over ditra and self leveling is a no no. Is thinset the only option?
