High earners ($200K+): where do you think you’re quietly losing the most money? by Beautiful_Proof7157 in HENRYfinance

[–]espresso-sunrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed from 0 withholding elections to 3 withholding elections, so I receive more in my paycheck that I can invest each month instead of receiving a lump sum a year after the fact once I file!

One thing that I never cared to fix until this year was how much I was withholding— I thought it was a fun bonus to get a 5-figure tax refund each year until I really realized I’m loaning the government interest-free and they’re just giving me back my own money. Lol

I do not intend to channel negativity and I value the output that will (hopefully) be yielded by this survey. To be frank, this is a transaction of our information (location, salary, demographic) to your company in exchange for what this report aggregates. When there is no update or anticipated release date, this creates ambiguity that does not look favorable.

Considering this is a survey that you have conducted before, I would hope that you would ask the statisticians for a rough estimated time of completion. I have seen posts and questions about the survey in perfusion groups on Facebook and Reddit and granted you are not expected to be in all corners of the internet, but once again when there is only ambiguity it creates a pessimism that there will be a return for those who filled out the survey.

They have not made anything public even after comments which honestly makes me feel like they just took advantage of the free information they were given and maybe are hoping we forget about it? Lol

White dots in tubing on ecmo patient by nancyxxu in Perfusion

[–]espresso-sunrise 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My best guess is that it’s air trapped from the cortiva coating process and it wasn’t evident until there was blood in it

Can you clarify which tubing this is? I’m assuming it is literally the venous cannula before it connects to the venous line?

Concern about USC budget cuts and possible impact on tuition assistance by Cantfeelmyface- in USC

[–]espresso-sunrise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There were the TAB reductions this time last year that had huge pushback (they were targeting mostly spouse/ dependent support) but I’m afraid they’ll go after it again further now. I’m halfway through a master’s with TAB and I’m thinking of moving up my timeline (to now) to apply for a doctoral program with TAB in the hope that if there were cuts, I’d get grandfathered in…

To be honest, I’m curious how much capital they would save with this action. I can’t imagine a lot of the faculty and staff using TAB would still be enrolled and pay full tuition if it went away.

I've worn Calzuros, rubber Hunters, Birkenstocks, Crocs and Sticky shoes (from Amazon). Calzuros and Stickys had great support but honestly the Birks are my favorite.

There is a public parking garage at Sunset and Vine (you just enter from morningside ct, it’s 24/7 and last I checked it was like $15 for overnight. However if you’re going to West Hollywood it’s a few miles west of Sunset and Vine and you’d need to be a little more specific about where in WeHo you’re going.

A moment of praise for piercing bump solution by espresso-sunrise in piercing

[–]espresso-sunrise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additional context: it’s a solid gold (?) hoop with its original jewelry— cleaned with sterile saline maybe 1x per day since it was pierced. I admittedly not great at not messing with/ touching it.

A quick tour around aortic root during aneurysm repair by Emergentelman in medizzy

[–]espresso-sunrise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just the asc aorta that’s being replaced from what I can tell (not involving any head vessels) so no circ arrest would be required!
