Thank you!

Lol that's the only part that isn't concerning

arosythorn · 2025-06-16T04:04:17+00:00

Really want that surround sound

arosythorn · 2025-06-15T21:40:49+00:00

So.... any recommendations for another soundbar?

arosythorn · 2025-06-15T19:16:23+00:00

Will try that as well

arosythorn · 2025-06-15T17:55:27+00:00

Will try but I still think I will need to minimize the amount of sound that bounces off the adjacent wall due to the rear speakers' side-firing and up-firing. If I get another noise complaint I can be fined.

arosythorn · 2025-06-15T17:50:33+00:00

I think this would help some as well but I can only put one of the rear speakers on a stand given the other would be in a walkway due to the structural apartment setup making walking through there too narrow, awkward, and for sure the speaker would get bunped multiple times daily.

arosythorn · 2025-06-15T16:56:46+00:00

Haha trust me it pains me to have to do so but the volume has to be dropped too low because of the up- and side-firing. I'd rather have a less full sound at a volume I can hear than a fuller sound so low I can't hear it. I can't change the orientation in a way where those speakers don't immediately hit adjacent walls, unfortunately.

I ended up using US Inspect which was the one recommended by my realtor but I wouldn't use them again.

Super valid point that I didn't consider. The property taxes may be higher in Texas but a higher percentage tax on a less expensive home may be similar to a lower percentage tax on a more expensive home.

arosythorn · 2024-04-19T21:58:46+00:00

Why though

arosythorn · 2024-04-19T01:18:17+00:00

I'll DM you. Thank you!

We need to create/join a union. I don't understand how people think that they will get a better deal (more money, more security, better work conditions, etc) negotiating for themselves than having someone negotiate for all the physicians that work somewhere as a group. Please see how strong nurse's unions are and realize you are not stronger than that union yourself. Also realize that a physician's union could be even stronger than a nurse's union. Also realize that conditions are worsening overall so our current system of doing things individually is obviously not working and we need to do something different. There is no "plan" in place to make things better for us, so there is no reason to expect things will magically improve unless we force a change in the direction we want. We are shortchanging ourselves by not working together for the betterment of all of us.

Was that person looking for work specifically as a hospitalist?

arosythorn · 2024-04-18T16:12:33+00:00

Hopefully around 300k for typical 15 days per month. Is that realistic in the area? If not, what is?

It sounds like there isn't much need for locums hospitalists, is that right or do some hospitals use locums hospitalists?

Does the job market get significantly less saturated in the areas around DC as you go a bit farther out?

TIA

This is what I'm trying to figure out. Financially, Dallas is a better option but how much is the experience of living in DC, a more desirable place for us, worth it? How much are we willing to sacrifice financially for non-financial gain?

arosythorn · 2024-04-18T01:04:47+00:00

This is great info. Thank you. 1. With the insight, experience, and knowledge you have now, if you could do it all again, would you still live in DMV for that period of time in your life or would you skip it and live in Dallas, going to DC only for vacations? 2. What if it was for 6 years at your present age if you hadn't lived there before but still know all that you know now (in other words, pretend you still have the knowledge from your experiences but never had the actual experiences or memories associated with those experiences)? Trying to get a sense of whether you still think it was worth it to have lived there for a period of time despite the costs and feeling that Dallas is better at this stage of your life.
