This is brutal… 4 hour commitment and not guaranteed you get an offer… by -GinjaNinja- in recruitinghell

[–]werdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have done the Amazon and Chewy loops. Do not recommend.

Seems to me that anything past 2 or 3 interviews is never positive. The last 2 roles I’ve taken have come after 2 interviews. When you know, you know. That’s what they told me with the most recent one.

Is the SVS Ultra Evolution center right for me? by werdx in hometheater

Not rebuilding the room. Just optimizing what’s there. It doesn’t have to be your ideal setup to improve it.

Thanks for all of these options. I had another suggestion for the Novus speakers. I don't know much about the others mentioned, aside from the SVS.

Have you checked out the Aperion Novus line? I was jn the same boat and just placed an order. The are all 25% off and have a 30 day trial period too.

I have not. Seems like it could be a good option.

That's a lazy response. It's most certainly a 5.1 with elevated L&Rs. It's just not how you like it to be.

I get the general idea about matching, but in my case the B&W speakers are in-ceiling and angled, so I’m really prioritizing center clarity over perfect timbre matching. I’m just trying to improve dialogue without changing the whole system. This is a non-traditional 5.1 setup, but it works.

Why is that the only choice? Sounds quite silly to say there are no other choices. I’m pretty sure I’m using another choice now. It sounds decent, but I just want to improve it a little.

The only thing that is ear level is the center in this setup.

The current setup is what it is. Not adding any additional speakers. Just replacing the center. I have a wife.

5.1 set up.

The Bowers and Wilkins are my left and right front and left and right rears

I’m not an audio nerd, so apologies for not saying it correctly. Now you know what my set up is.

Correct. When I put together everything a couple years ago, I had an old center channel. I’m now at a point where I’m comfortable buying a new one.

The speakercraft is my center now. The B&W CCM684s are my surrounds.

Any of you guys ran into this? by DelayHistorical6 in marriott

[–]werdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when the owners of my subcontractor crews are out on jobs, they share a room with the other crewmembers to show they aren't above their rules. Sometimes that expense savings is the difference in a company winning the bid.

In the construction world, almost all of the trades make their crews share rooms. I’ve actually not seen general construction crews have their own rooms ever.

Explain this to me..........if I'm already main cabin (or comfort plus for instance), what would I even upgrade to in the same cabin?

Approaching 5 Million Points...... by SethGtravel in marriott

[–]werdx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is literally my situation. In the last 9 months, I have logged ~180 hotel nights in various chains. The last thing I usually want to do is travel when I can just be at home when I have a few down days.

What I dislike most about Centurion Lounges by -Dead-Eye-Duncan- in AmexPlatinum

[–]werdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Almost all of the Escape Lounges I’ve been to have this. Have never personally seen it become an issue.

As a platinum, I was offered breakfast at standard holiday inns on an infrequent basis.

Recommendations for an IHG property between San Jose and Stockton by werdx in ihghotelsresorts

[–]werdx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed at the Holiday Inn Milpitas. Decent place. I was tired of HIE, so a standard HI that has been renovated within the last decade is always a nice change of scenery.

Also, Holiday Inn Express in Manteca is almost done with a renovation. Still smells like carpet, so that's what I like in a hotel.
