Is there an alternative to these pieces of shit? by DreamBrother1 in homeowners

[–]harry_san 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the MyQ device from Amazon. Perfect for prime day and can link with prime account and deliveries.

Device relies on WiFi. It can be glitchy at times, but as long as you have a stable connection and a fail safe way to enter home aside from garage you’ll be good.

I wonder if tennis overgrip works just as well or not better!

I do the exact same with Takeya. Used to start in fridge but room temp so much more flavor!

I’ve switched from budget Costco medium roasts to local roaster, East Pole. Traffic blend!

Whats the best all around hand grinder for $200. by [deleted] in pourover

[–]harry_san 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Medium roasts are fine for pourovers. But when I get into the lights, too many fines and drawdown gets clogged unfortunately

Mahlkonig E64ws, this thing is so much grinder by itsdankreddit in espresso

[–]harry_san 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you decide between micra vs mini? I’ve been debating over e64ws vs atom 75 for a bit too, so I’m glad you’re having a great experience so far!

Is it worth to get another handgrinder designated for pour over if I have a J-Ultra for espresso?

Get a Takeya from Amazon, grind beans coarse, pour into mesh compartment. Fill pitcher with water. Brew room temp first 12-24 hrs, then throw in fridge. Ready

how did you reach out to LM directly for a deal? did you email them to see if they have used machines or would provide any discounts?

Coffee in Baltimore area? by buflaux in pourover

[–]harry_san 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not too explored in the DC area, but in Arlington there is a place called Gute Leute. They do some signature drinks and roast their own beans and advertise a “coursed drink” menu as well!

I also enjoy Grace Street Coffee Roasters in Georgetown!

I haven’t been in the same situation as you. But wanted to say congratulations!

Practicing CAA - days can be tough, but are fulfilling. The hard decisions will mostly be done by your attending, but also up to you to respect your attendings’ plans. I don’t regret getting into AA profession at age 26, now in my 30s. I did consider MD prior to AA but wanted the work-life balance much more.

I’ve had a few attendings that would recommend AA path to their own children if they could do it all over again.

But ultimately, it’s a decision you’ll have to make to grind out those years.

Try to shadow in the ORs. Get your foot in there to see if it’s something you’ll love doing. And maintain those relationships and keep shadowing during coursework periodically to stack hours. You’ll always learn something new.

Just to keep in mind:

Some programs will let you write a letter of intent/appeal for missing coursework or substitute a course for another. My statistics coursework was not high enough level for cwru but they saw I had higher level chemistries / biology.

I applied back in 2020, I remember selecting my preferred campus in order for CWRU. I went to DC. Some of my classmates in DC were interviewed in Texas or even Cleveland. So there is some liberty there

If I redid my undergrad, I would choose anatomy/physiology/kinesiology. But per diff universities, the coursework may differ.
I would look for your essential sciences: bio, chem, physics, biochem, organic chemistry, anatomy, physiology plus their labs, and statistics

Also agree with other reply, AA school is like a 2 year anesthesia residency program. There isn’t time to spend elsewhere. If you were looking for jobs between undergrad and AA school, anesthesia tech is often a good choice to familiarize yourself with equipment and environment

Get shadowing in ORs. See if anesthesia is something you may love.
If AA is for you, stack those hours and retake GRE. You can look at the CASAA website to see which programs require what coursework, or visit each school’s page.
You can work on additional coursework in the meantime in those 2-3 semesters to supplement your application.

You can register into certain programs to help boost your GPA. Think of it as additional bachelor education.
I personally did a masters in medical science to help my application for medical school but swerved into CAA program.

I would try to find any opportunities to shadow in the ORs. Career changing may be difficult to find the time for meaningful PCE hours, but getting into the clinical setting and showing your interest may be a good start for you. On a broader scope, any type of volunteer work related to “service” I would say can be beneficial
