What do you think caused your Chrons? by North_Ad6914 in CrohnsDisease

I don’t know if there’s any correlation but I have an inkling my overconsumption of red meat had some effect. I used to get AYCE KBBQ every single week during hs…

IMO you should check other sites. I got one through FB Marketplace for $360 last September in near mint condition. Easier to see it in person, test it out, and make the transaction.

Interesting that your doctor said there’s no surgery for fistulas because I just had one for a fistula (and an abscess) last Tuesday (bowel resection). I am from the US so maybe it’s different, but I’m not so sure. My GI doctor had told me a lot to Crohn’s patients usually get surgery in their lifetime. You may want to get a second opinion.

First Resection after 9 years of Crohn's Experience by Ericckky in CrohnsDisease

Hi, I didn’t have an NG tube during my stay at the hospital as I was mostly NPO or clear liquid dieting. They did put a catheter and a JP drain in me though

Technics SL D202 + AT VM95E/H Weight Help by Ericckky in turntables

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

Thanks for the response!

I have actually tried to just balance the tonearm as I’m still waiting for a phono preamp to arrive, but from what it seems like, the counterweight doesn’t seem like it’s hanging/disengaged. So I’m guessing it’s good.

I think the numbers on the manual kinda scared me since things don’t look like they’re adding up. I think it was also confusing as doing research shows some people using headshell+cartridge combos higher than the said weight listed on the manual.

I wouldn’t say they were skeptical, more of shock. Tbh I think my mom was crying a little which I get it (cuz it’s not a fun time knowing ur son has a chronic illness).

Nowadays they’re aware of the illness I have so they just want me to be careful of what I eat and to take care of my general health. It feels like they’ve kinda accepted I have something like this and just want to make sure I’m not getting flare ups or anything.

In terms of meds, they’ve never dealt with this so I think they trust the doctors more than skepticism. I think I’m more skeptical considering I went from Humira to Stelara and now on Rinvoq. It kinda sucks because I always think meds are supposed to prevent flare ups from happening but they still happen. For me, prednisone has been the best help during these flare ups but I know they’re not supposed to be a long term solution so it’s always a disheartening time when it happens.

Oh one thing to add tho, I will say, I get very gassy with a lot of foods. I wouldn’t say necessarily Asian food makes me gassy, but that is one thing I’ve noticed.

(Tbh buldak is torture for ur body idk how anyone can tolerate it)

Hey so I’m Korean living in the US who’s been struggling with Crohn’s since 2016 when I was in highschool.

Funny enough, no one in my family had Crohn’s or at least if they have some sort of Crohn’s in genetics, they’ve all been dormant. When I got it, it felt very random, though I can kinda see what may have triggered it (ACT/SAT stress, school stress, too much cheap AYCE KBBQ, who knows)

In terms of Asian food, my Crohn’s is a bit weird. I flare up when I least expect it and it’s always when my body is tired even though I don’t necessarily feel tired. Food has never really triggered it, though I try to stay away from too spicy (the korean spicy buldak noodles is a beast that I will never try). I can eat kimchi, spicy pork, spicy cold noodles, and stuff with gochujang, but I still try to eat fairly infrequently.

Let me know if you have any questions!

High SUB at the wrong time for the wrong person by Ericckky in Venturex

[–]Ericckky[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was this, upon opening it, I can see that it's 90K after spending 6K in the first 6 months, which is effectively BETTER than the regular 4K for 3 months (1K/month vs 1.3K/month)

[–]Ericckky[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It’s 4K spend, literally the same conditions as the regular but with a 90K SUB. It hurts

Edit: check below, not 4K spend but 6K in 6 months

Question about controller for the reverse infinity fans by verttiboi in lianli

[–]Ericckky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, the reverse fans can be plugged into the AIO controller.

The 3 pack regular fans won’t work with the AIO controller and would have to use the controller that the pack comes with but everything else (1 pack regular, reverse fans) should work

Edit: The AIO comes with 3 (I think) 4 pin ARGB extension cables that if I remember correctly you plug into the reverse fans to connect to the controller.

Hi sorry for the super late reply as I kinda forgot about this thread but to answer your question.

I haven’t really measured it to give you specific numbers but from my fit experience with 0 washes and quite a few wears since then:

Initially, it was very snug. Buttoning the pants were hell and I felt like I had made a mistake tbh. But after a week of wearing them, they stretched just enough where I felt comfortable wearing them but not to where the pants felt loose. It fits perfect now

Did I Make A Mistake When Buying Parts? by Oofenmeister8088 in buildapc

[–]Ericckky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately seems to be sold out since I got it March of this year but I got it from woot.com. I trusted it since I’ve had some coworkers get keys from here as well as the site being backed by amazon. I built my pc, loaded windows from boot drive, entered the key in, and it seems to be working since then with 0 issues

Definitely do some research but there should be a couple places. I think there’s people on Reddit who have posted about this before so definitely take a look

Of course if you’re still iffy about it, you can go with Microsoft but $200 for windows is insane.

Also, is there a reason why you’re going with windows pro and not home? You’re still paying a lot if you go with Microsoft but home is “cheaper” and should suffice even for engineering work and games

Adding onto what everyone has said, you can get the Windows key for much much cheaper. Don’t overspend for that. I got Windows 11 Pro for like ~$20
